A's 3B/LF Miguel Andujar (oblique) likely heading to IL
June 2 - Athletics third baseman/left fielder Miguel Andujar sustained right oblique discomfort in Sunday's game and likely will be placed on the injured list, manager Mark Kotsay said after the 8-4 loss to the host Toronto Blue Jays. The team said Andujar, 30, was hurt while taking a swing and will have an MRI on Monday to determine the severity of the injury. Andujar exited in the bottom of the fifth inning and was replaced at third base by Max Schuemann. Andujar has gotten on base on a fielder's choice in the top of the fifth and later scored on Luis Urias' double. Andujar went 0-for-2 with one walk and the run. He is batting .296 with three home runs, 20 RBIs, a .328 on-base percentage and .402 slugging percentage in 46 games. A career .276 hitter, Andujar has 46 homers and 199 RBIs in 419 regular-season games with the New York Yankees (2017-22), Pittsburgh Pirates (2022-23) and Athletics (2024-present). He was second in the American League Rookie of the Year voting in 2018 when he batted .297 with 27 homers and 92 RBIs in 149 games with the Yankees. --Field Level Media

UFC Hall of Famer B.J. Penn arrested again amid family concerns
June 2 - UFC Hall of Famer B.J. Penn was arrested Friday in Hawaii, his home state, for the third time in six days as his family airs their concerns about his mental health. Penn was previously arrested on May 25 and 26, both times on charges of abuse of a family/household member. Penn's mother, Lorraine Shin, filed a temporary restraining order against him, and the May 26 arrest was because he violated the restraining order. Penn was due to appear in court as a condition of his bail and he failed to do so, resulting in the third arrest Friday. Penn argued unsuccessfully that he did not come to court because he had COVID-19, according to KHON2. Penn also requested a restraining order against his mother, which was denied. Penn has claimed repeatedly on Instagram that his family was secretly murdered and replaced by impostors, which is the main symptom of a rare psychiatric order called Capgras delusion. "I believe my son (B.J. Penn) is suffering from Capgras delusional syndrome (a psychiatric disorder in which a person holds a delusion that a friend, spouse, parent, other close family member has been replaced by an identical imposter)," Shin said in a statement to authorities. "He believes I'm an imposter who has killed his family to gain control of the family assets." Shin has claimed in court filings that Penn has stolen belongings from her bedroom and put glue into the deadbolt on her bedroom door in an attempt to keep her from entering it. She further alleged that Penn used a bright flashlight to temporarily blind her when she wanted to call police, and he grabbed her arms and shoved her against the side of a car, causing a sharp pain in her back. --Field Level Media

Six people injured in petrol bomb and flamethrower attack at pro-Israel rally in Boulder, Colorado
Why you can trust Sky News The FBI is investigating a targeted "act of terrorism" in Colorado after a man used a makeshift flamethrower and petrol bombs on a pro-Israel event. It happened as people in the city of Boulder were holding a walk to remember Israeli hostages in Gaza. A man is in custody and the FBI said he shouted "Free Palestine" as the attack on Pearl Street unfolded. Six people aged 67 to 88 were injured - with some airlifted to hospital. A large part of the downtown area is cordoned off as dogs and bomb squad officers in protective suits search for potential devices. Police chief Steve Redfearn said the attack happened around 1.26pm on Sunday and that initial reports were that "people were being set on fire". He said injuries ranged from "very serious" to "more minor". "When we arrived we encountered multiple victims that were injured, with injuries consistent with burns," Mr Redfearn told the media. Senior law enforcement officials told NBC News, Sky's US partner, that at least one person was in a critical condition. Mr Redfearn said a suspect - who the FBI named as 45-year-old Mohamed Soliman - had been taken into custody without incident. "This area is not safe yet and we're dealing with a vehicle of interest," he added. Boulder's police chief said it happened as a "group of pro- Israel people" were peacefully demonstrating. A joint statement from Boulder's Jewish community said "an incendiary device was thrown at walkers at the Run for Their Lives walk on Pearl Street as they were raising awareness for the hostages still held in Gaza". It added: "Our hearts go out to those who witnessed this horrible attack, and prayers for a speedy recovery to those who were injured." Colorado attorney general Phil Weiser said the group affected gathered weekly on Pearl Street to call for the release of the remaining hostages held by Hamas. Boulder is a university city of about 105,000 people on the northwest edge of Denver, in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. The attack follows the arrest of a Chicago-born man in the fatal shooting of two Israeli embassy employees in Washington DC two weeks ago. Tensions are simmering in the US over Israel's war in Gaza. There has been an increase in antisemitic hate crime, as well as moves by some supporters of Israel to brand pro-Palestinian protests as antisemitic. President Trump's administration has detained protesters without charge and pulled funding from elite universities that have permitted such demonstrations.
