Blue Jays designated hitter George Springer was forced out of Saturday’s game against the Twins after getting hit by a pitch on his left big toe. It’s the same digit Springer fractured in early April on a foul ball. Yesterday’s matchup in Minnesota was Springer’s fourth game back in the lineup. Postgame X-rays did not reveal an additional fracture for Springer, per Keegan Matheson of MLB.com, which is a bit of positive news for an injury-riddled roster. “It’s not any worse than it was,” manager John Schneider told reporters. The skipper added that the 36-year-old Springer was likely getting Sunday’s…

The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 continues to deliver high-octane drama, and the 45th match at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium in Hyderabad was no exception. On a humid evening on Sunday, the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) solidified their playoff aspirations with a clinical 7-wicket victory over the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH). Despite a blistering start from the home side, KKR’s disciplined bowling and a composed run chase, anchored by the rising star Angkrish Raghuvanshi—proved too much for the Orange Army.KKR’s bowling halts Sunrisers Hyderabad to a low scoreWinning the toss and electing to bat, Sunrisers Hyderabad looked poised for a…

If you follow biosimilar headlines, you might think the market is in crisis. Stories highlight nine adalimumab biosimilars launching in just one year, and a similar pattern with the ustekinumab market, hinting at pricing wars and unsustainable margins. A recent HHS analysis confirmed what experts suspected: Most biosimilar markets become economically unviable after five competitors. To be clear, these high-competition markets serve a critical purpose – they drive down costs for the highest-burden disease areas and deliver immediate savings to patients and provide value to the U.S. healthcare system. But they can’t be the only game plan. The headlines miss…

Colton Lott (Words In The Wind, Wikimedia Commons) Team Canada won the bronze medal at the 2026 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championships in Geneva, Switzerland on Saturday. The Canadian team comprised of Kadriana and Colton Lott of Selkirk, Manitoba. In the bronze medal game, the Lotts trounced Italy 11-3. The Italian team comprised of Stefania Constantini and Amos Mosaner, who won the gold medal in mixed doubles curling at the 2022 Olympic Winter Games in Beijing and the 2025 World Mixed Doubles Curling Championships in Fredericton, New Brunswick. In the bronze medal final, Canada outcurled Italy by a wide margin.…

When he talks about the role of religion in the founding of the United States, historian Gregg Frazer does not attract eager audiences. “Neither side really wants to hear what I say,” says Frazer, a professor of history and political studies at The Master’s University, a Christian school in Santa Clarita, California. The founders, Frazer says, did not create a Christian republic. Several key founders either rejected core Christian doctrines or were vague enough to keep historians debating. For Frazer, that often disappoints audiences of his fellow Christians. But, he says, nor were the founders a cluster of rationalist deists…

I grew up in my father’s darkroom, which is where I learned the process of black and white photography. Since then, the camera has become my eyes. Taking photos is my way of connecting, communicating; I’m attempting to document life in front of me through my lens. Rather than using words to describe life, I photograph it. For me, it’s always been about the human face — not just as a subject, but as a way to tap into our shared humanness. I use my lens to document a genuine reality rather than a polished version of it, looking for the…

50 Cent pulled up to Club LIV in Las Vegas on Saturday night and handled business. Real talk – the man doesn’t just show up anywhere without a purpose. He posted on Instagram with a simple caption: “It’s lit Vegas tonight club LIV” and tagged both Branson Cognac and Le Chemin du Roi, his two alcohol brands. The post collected over 7,600 likes before the night was done. No retweets. Just straight appreciation from the audience. That still counts. Here’s the thing about how Curtis James Jackson moves in 2026. He’s been in the game long enough to know that…

From how deals get sourced to how capital allocators think, generative AI is reshaping how venture capital works. For many, it’s seen as a positive, and there are truly great qualities that save real time and have a true operational impact. But there’s one structural problem most life sciences CEOs building novel products haven’t recognized yet.  Large Language Models (LLM) agents are now the default screening layer at VC firms. They support day-to-day functions and act as a “first line of defense,” parsing through thousands of startup decks and clustering companies into investment categories. The work that once required an…

The Mexican football team entered the 1970s on a wave of optimism, having just staged a successful World Cup tournament. The team had done well in front of the home fans, reaching the quarter-finals for the first time. There was further reason to celebrate the following year when Mexico won the regional CONCACAF Nations Cup in Trinidad. Mexico’s victory was not unexpected; they were the regional soccer superpower, and the real surprise had been the solid performance of Haiti. Like Mexico, the Haitians went unbeaten through their five games, but draws against Mexico, Costa Rica and Cuba cost them the…

In our everyday Mexican lives, many of the words we use stem from the Indigenous languages that were once spoken here, before the arrival of the Spanish. From aguacate (the delicious avocado fruit from which guacamole is made) to tlapalería (the place to find screws, lightbulbs and even paint), Spanish is filled with words that come directly from Náhuatl. This is no surprise, as the Mexica Empire was one of the strongest powers at the time of the conquest — perhaps the greatest on the continent. But before the interaction between Spanish and Náhuatl, other languages influenced daily conversation and…
