Diamondbacks RHP Corbin Burnes will undergo Tommy John surgery
Arizona Diamondbacks ace Corbin Burnes is officially set to undergo Tommy John surgery and miss at least the remainder of the 2025 season. This news comes three days after Burnes sought a second opinion on the inflammation in his right elbow from Los Angeles-based doctor Neal El Attrache. Burnes originally sustained the elbow injury on June 1 during a start against the Washington Nationals. Arizona led 3-0 in the top of the fifth inning when Burnes allowed a single by CJ Abrams with two outs. The right-hander then gestured toward the dugout with his glove and yelled in frustration. Burnes allowed a run and four hits in 4 2/3 innings, with a walk and six strikeouts. Following the shortened start, he was placed on the 15-day injured list with right elbow inflammation. Now, he'll receive Tommy John surgery and miss an extended period of time. He is 3-2 with a 2.66 ERA in 11 starts this season. Arizona signed Burnes to a $210 million, six-year contract before the season, and the 30-year-old has been very durable over the past several years. He's made at least 28 starts in every season since he won the 2021 National League Cy Young Award for the Milwaukee Brewers. Burnes' injury is yet another problem in a season that has already seen the D-backs go just 31-31 with a negative run differential, putting them in fourth place, 6.5 games back in a competitive NL West and 3.5 back of a wild card spot. Arizona missed the 2024 postseason due to losing the tiebreaker for the final wild card spot to the Mets. The D-backs called up left-hander Tommy Henry to take Burnes' spot on the roster. He's pitched in one game this season, throwing 2 2/3 scoreless innings. The Associated Press contributed to this report. Want great stories delivered right to your inbox?

LEADOPTIK Awarded Key Patents Across Three Continents
Strengthening Global IP Portfolio in Optical Imaging for Minimally Invasive Procedures SAN JOSE, Calif., June 6, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- LEADOPTIK Inc., a Silicon Valley-based medical imaging company, today announced it has been awarded key patents for its proprietary optical probe across three continents: North America, Europe, and Asia. LEADOPTIK designs and manufactures optical probes for minimally invasive procedures, where two critical factors are essential: high-resolution imaging and a miniaturized form factor. High-resolution imaging enables real-time visualization of tissue microstructure, empowering clinicians with the insight needed to make more informed decisions—whether collecting biopsy samples, resecting tumor margins, or delivering therapies to targeted sites. Equally important is miniaturization. Space is at a premium during minimally invasive procedures, and LEADOPTIK's probe is designed with an exceptionally small footprint to navigate tight anatomical pathways without compromising performance. The company's innovation is powered by cutting-edge metasurface technology—flat optical components created through the fusion of nanofabrication and advanced optical design. Unlike traditional optics, metasurfaces enable ultra-thin, high-performance imaging systems that are ideal for integration into medical devices. These three newly granted patents underscore LEADOPTIK's leadership in medical imaging: U.S. Patent (#US11953698B1): Covers a novel device-level metasurface design that significantly extends imaging depth without sacrificing resolution. The patent was granted with 100% of its original claims—a testament to the novelty of LEADOPTIK's approach. European and Japanese Patents (PCT065237 & PCT029301): Protect both the current probe assembly method and alternative configurations that support expanded clinical applications. "Building robust and scalable medical devices is non-negotiable," said Reza Khorasaninejad, CEO and Co-founder of LEADOPTIK. "Our team has not only invented new optical designs but also developed novel methods of integrating them with semiconductor-grade manufacturing processes. These patents reflect our commitment to making next-generation imaging accessible, reliable, and globally protected." "Our intellectual property is the foundation of LEADOPTIK's competitive edge," said Dr. Jiang You, Co-Founder and VP of Medical Imaging. "These patents not only protect our unique optical architecture but also validate the deep technical innovation required to miniaturize high-resolution imaging. It's a major milestone that strengthens our ability to scale globally and expand into new clinical applications." About LEADOPTIK LEADOPTIK is a Silicon Valley-based company pioneering AI-enhanced real-time optical imaging at the point of biopsy. By integrating high-resolution microstructural visualization with emerging analytics, the LIA system bridges the gap between diagnosis, and therapy, supporting more precise and informed decision-making in interventional pulmonology and beyond.

Social Security Sounds the Alarm on Possible Payment Delays
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Social Security workers are sounding the alarm that some beneficiaries could see payment delays as the agency undergoes significant changes in the next few weeks. Employees at the Social Security Administration (SSA) told USA Today that thousands of Americans could see delays or stopped checks, as officials have instructed workers to focus on roughly 900,000 complicated cases this month. Why It Matters Nearly 70 million Americans rely on Social Security checks each month. As the federal agency implements changes ordered by President Donald Trump's administration, any delays in payments could make a considerable impact on recipients, who often need the money for basics like housing and food. A Social Security Administration office in Washington, D.C., is pictured on March 26. A Social Security Administration office in Washington, D.C., is pictured on March 26. SAUL LOEB/AFP via Getty Images What To Know SSA employees told USA Today that Social Security recipients who are making simple changes like location or bank account updates could face a longer wait than usual. This will potentially cause delays as the agency focuses on the 900,000 remaining cases, courtesy of the Social Security Fairness Act. "The changes are a response to the Social Security Fairness Act, which provided benefits for those who paid into the system but were otherwise ineligible for Social Security, including police, firefighters, teachers, and other public servants," Drew Powers, founder of Illinois-based Powers Financial Group, told Newsweek. "More than 2 million of these cases were straightforward enough to be automated, but the remaining 900,000 claims are more complicated and must be approved by hand." Newsweek reached out to the SSA for comment via email on Friday. The White House has said the focus on these cases should not affect current recipients, but employees said it could push back simple changes like updating direct deposit information or Medicaid billing issues. Workers have also been instructed to prioritize the updated payments under the act, which allows retired public service workers to receive increased funds. "Using automation, SSA has already expedited over $15.1 billion in long-delayed retroactive payments to more than 2.3 million individuals affected," White House spokesperson Liz Huston said previously. Workers say they have a deadline to update the remaining Social Security Fairness Act claims by July 1, creating a backlog for those with other issues. What People Are Saying Powers also told Newsweek: "The new directive to prioritize Social Security Fairness Act claims, along with staffing cuts enacted by DOGE [Department of Government Efficiency], is creating a backlog to complete other claims and service work like mailing address and direct deposit changes. These delays could be the difference between receiving your check or not." Alex Beene, financial literacy instructor for the University of Tennessee at Martin, told Newsweek: "For months, we've been hearing the only cuts to Social Security would be to administrative offices, not to benefits. However, lost in the discussion was how these administrative cuts could provide their own series of problems. Applications for new beneficiaries, account changes for existing ones, and every issue in between these have to be processed, and with fewer employees to assist, delays could be significant." What Happens Next DOGE, created in the early days of Trump's second term, has set out to cut 12 percent of the SSA staff, offering buyouts for those who took early retirement. The remaining workers are being offered weekend overtime to process claims, according to USA Today. "As of right now, there is no need for concern, but the concerns should motivate those receiving benefits to start the process of enrolling, making changes, or anything else as soon as possible. And, most importantly, be prepared to wait," Beene said.
