Arizona minor league pitcher Listher Sosa suspended 80 games for positive drug test
NEW YORK (AP) — Arizona minor league pitcher Listher Sosa was suspended for 80 games Thursday under baseball's minor league drug program following a positive test for the performance-enhancing substance Methandienone.
A 23-year-old right-hander, Sosa signed for a $150,000 bonus in 2018. He was 4-3 with a 3.39 ERA last year in 40 relief appearances and one start for Class A Visalia, High A Hillsboro and Double-A Amarillo.
Three players have been suspended this year under the minor league program and the program for minor leaguers assigned outside of the United States and Canada.

Alone and 2,200 miles from home, Venezuela shuts out Puerto Rico 5-0 at Little League World Series
SOUTH WILLIAMSPORT, Pa. (AP) — Hitting with the bases loaded at the Little League World Series, Samuel Castillo found the gap between left and center field. Two runs scored and Venezuela's lead over Puerto Rico grew to 3-0. Above the team dugout, spectators in a fan section that barely filled three rows raised one of the few Venezuelan flags in Volunteer Stadium. It took a lot for Venezuela to get here, but on Wednesday, its team made the playing baseball part of the journey look easy. Cardenales Little League from Barquisimeto went on to shut out Puerto Rico 5-0. Cardenales won all five of its regional tournament games, outscoring opponents 46-6 to become the Latin America representative to the LLWS. But in the wake of President Donald Trump's travel bans and restrictions affecting 19 countries, the team needed a special exemption from the U.S. State Department and a sign-off from Secretary of State Marco Rubio after visas were initially denied. Venezuela's senior team, players who are up to 16 years old, which was supposed to compete in Easley, South Carolina, last month was unable to get the exemption and was denied entry to the United States. 'They were working their way through applying for the exemption,' Little League President and CEO Patrick Wilson said in a news conference before Wednesday's game. 'We ran out of time, just candidly.' Wilson said there were close to 10 days for Venezuela's Williamsport team to get approved, which was 'more lead time' than the senior team. They were notified of the approval last Thursday. This isn't the first time visa snarls have been an issue at the tournament. In 2011, Uganda's visa applications were denied and Saudi Arabia, the regional runner-up, played instead. 'We'll do our best to have conversations with the great folks at the State Department that help us out in an effort to, whether we have to adjust lead times or whatever we can do, to ensure that all teams can participate and enjoy the Little League experience, whether that's at the Little League level, junior, senior, softball, whatever it takes,' Wilson said. Venezuelan players traveled to the United States without their families — parents couldn't get visas — but the coaches of last year's team that made it to the international final were among the few fans from back home sitting proudly in the stands above the dugout. Euclides and Ender Rivero only had to renew their visas which, they explained through an interpreter, was a much easier process. Maria Lewis sat just a few seats away from the Riveros holding one of the country's flags and wearing the Latin America team shirt. She's Venezuelan and lives only an hour away from Williamsport. 'I've been praying for them to come,' Lewis said. 'I'm very pleased that (their visas were) granted, because these are 12-year-olds that deserve to play their game.' 'I'm just here like a team mom, honorary team mom, so that they can feel supported, that they have people behind them,' Lewis said. Manager Luis Bermudez said the team has been keeping in touch with those 2,204 miles (3,547 kilometers) away in Barquisimeto through their smartphones, and he's grateful to the fans Venezuela did have in the stands. 'We're very happy we have all their support,' he said through an interpreter. On Friday, Venezuela will play Canada. 'I'm so happy to be here,' Francisco Rivero, who scored twice on Wednesday, said after the win. 'It's a great feeling.' Another girl takes the field at LLWS Monica Arcuri became the 24th girl to play in the Little League World Series on Wednesday when her Australia club played Panama. She started at first and rounded out the lineup for the team from Brisbane. This tournament also features the fifth female coach and a female umpire, Traci Duez, who was at second base for the Panama-Australia game. The Little League Softball World Series concluded last week with record viewership. 'For a young lady whether she chooses to play softball or baseball, we want her to have those choices, you know, and if she switches at a certain point, that's OK, too,' Wilson said. 'We just want her to participate.' ___

Colombians bid farewell to presidential hopeful Uribe after shooting at political rally
BOGOTA, Colombia (AP) — Colombians on Wednesday bid farewell to senator and presidential hopeful Miguel Uribe Turbay, who died more than two months after being shot during a political rally in the South American country's capital. Family, friends, members of Congress and a delegation of government officials from the United States honored Uribe, whose coffin was draped with Colombia's flag. The 39-year-old died Monday in the hospital where he had been since the June 7 shooting. Thousands of mourners paid their respects Tuesday. 'The bullets that took his life not only broke the hearts of his family, they reopened the fractures of a country that has yet to find peace,' Senate President Lidio García said, referring to Colombia's long history of violence against politicians. Uribe had become one of the strongest critics of Colombia's current government. In October, he joined the list of politicians seeking to replace Gustavo Petro, the first leftist to govern Colombia, in the May 2026 elections. Petro and Vice President Francia Márquez on Wednesday said on social media that they would not attend Uribe's funeral out of respect for his family's wishes. 'We are not going not because we do not want to, we simply respect the family and avoid that the funeral of Senator Miguel Uribe is taken over by supporters of hate,' Petro posted on X. Uribe was shot three times, twice in the head, while giving a campaign speech in a park in a working-class Bogota neighborhood. Authorities have arrested six people, including the teenager they say shot him, but they have not determined who ordered the attack or why. The shooting, caught on multiple videos, alarmed Colombians who have not seen this kind of political violence against presidential candidates since Medellin drug lord Pablo Escobar declared war on the state in the 1990s. Uribe's mother, well-known journalist Diana Turbay, was among the victims in that period. She died during a police rescue after being kidnapped by a group of drug traffickers led by Escobar seeking to block their extradition to the U.S. 'If my mother was willing to give her life for a cause, how could I not do the same in life and in politics?' Uribe, who was 5 when his mother was killed, said in an interview with a Colombian news outlet last year. After lying in state since Monday, Uribe's coffin, flanked by members of the presidential guard, was carried on foot from Congress to the Primate Cathedral of Colombia, located a few meters away in Bogota's iconic Plaza de Bolivar. His wife, María Claudia Tarazona, accompanied the coffin with their 4-year-old son. 'To break up a family — to take a father's son, a wife's husband, a children's father — is the greatest act of evil that can exist,' Tarazona said during the Eucharist. A hearse then took Uribe through the streets of Bogota to the city's Central Cemetery. The cemetery is the oldest in the city and the final resting place of figures such as Liberal leader Luis Carlos Galán, who was shot dead in 1989 while giving a presidential campaign speech in Bogota.

Penn State's poll rankings point to college football parity
Without definitive explicit evidence, the US LBM coaches poll and preseason AP Poll have both revealed their thoughts on parity in college football. Penn State could certainly be at the center of this case study. After being considered a potential candidate for the no. 1 overall ranking in both polls, the voting systems and discussions surrounding how deep college football is this season may have altered their preseason perception. At least enough to anger fans and cause debate among analysts on whether or not the topic of parity has gained real momentum within the college football landscape. Consider the fact that the Nittany Lions were just two first-place votes behind the Texas Longhorns in the AP poll but still lost out to them because of the overall point system. While the Longhorns garnered 1,552 overall points, the Nittany Lions only had 1547 points, coming up just sort in a system that proves that there are so many votes that can go around to the best teams. In the coaches poll, at least the discrepancy was larger as first-ranked Texas garnered 28 first place votes to second-ranked Ohio State's 20, but the AP poll had the benefit of time on its side. This begs the question: would both polls have looked similar had they come out around the same time? Penn State's ranking certainly lends itself to more intrigue surrounding that question. After all, being perhaps the most experienced of the top 5 teams in both polls, would it not make more sense that given more time for decision-making, voters believed in them more for the AP poll over the coaches poll? Or is it just because the AP poll has more room for more votes, therefore inflating ANY team's chance of higher rankings and more votes? Penn State are not the only team that may have either benefitted or have been slighted once the AP poll came around. Consider the Big 12 where because of their highly spilt vote share, Arizona State found themselves outside of the top 10. Meanwhile, teams such as Michigan or South Carolina, who have a lot of faith from pundits, yet still have more questions than answers in their squad, have benefitted highly from the split committee, remaining squarely in the top 15. Overall, while many teams can make the case that parity will be the key to this college football season, Penn State's tenuous rankings tell the average fan a lot about how what many consider the best team in college football can both fall victim to and benefit from baffled voters. While fans may be displeased now, there may be a myriad number of chances for the Nittany Lions to prove themselves on the field. What these preseason poll rankings most importantly offer us is a chance for this college football season to be much more unpredictable than previously imagined.
