Four Seattle Mariners relief pitchers were placed on the injured list after a potential positive Covid-19 test on the team was reported, the team's general manager said in a press release.
The person with the potential positive test was not named, but relief pitchers Robert Dugger, Anthony Misiewicz, Drew Steckenrider and Will Vest were placed on the injured list out of an abundance of caution while the team works with Major League Baseball on contact tracing protocols, Mariners GM Jerry Dipoto said in the release Friday. Manager Scott Servais told reporters before a game in San Diego on Friday that the team "still has a ways to go" before it reaches the 85% threshold of vaccinated players and staff that will allow for lessened Covid-19 safety restrictions, but added that they are "trending in the right direction."
Federal investigators normally tasked with uncovering narcotic and financial crimes were told to prioritize the arrest of a university student with no criminal record, and not tell her that her visa was revoked, a Homeland Security Investigation agent testified Tuesday, a marked shift for the agency under President Donald Trump.

It remains to be seen just how lasting and severe President Donald Trump’s turn against Vladimir Putin will be. Trump has criticized the Russian president in unprecedented terms in recent days and signaled he’ll send vital weapons to Ukraine. But he’s also given Putin plenty more time – 50 days – before really dropping the hammer with economic punishment.

Half of Americans say they are dissatisfied with the amount of information the federal government has released about the Jeffrey Epstein case, according to a new CNN poll conducted by SSRS in the days after the Justice Department released a memo saying there is no evidence the convicted sex offender kept a so-called client list or was murdered.

As President Donald Trump hardens his position toward Moscow and seeks new ways to bring the conflict to an end, he is leaving open the prospect of allowing shipments of longer-range missiles to the country that would allow it to strike deeper into Russia, according to officials familiar with the matter.
