Brewers' Christian Yelich (hand) leaves after HBP
June 1 - After getting hit by a pitch in the first inning of Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Phillies, the Milwaukee Brewers' Christian Yelich was later removed due to a "right hand contusion."
Yelich, who served as the Brewers' designated hitter, stayed in the game to run in the first. But when his spot in the order came around again in the third, Eric Haase batted for him.
Yelich had been one of the hottest hitters in the major leagues prior to being hit by Phillies starter Ranger Suarez. Over his previous eight games, the 33-year-old outfielder had gone 17 of 36 (.472) with five homers, 10 runs, 13 RBIs and two steals.
That spree, which included a walk-off grand slam May 27 against the Boston Red Sox, boosted Yelich's slash line from .184/.276/.324 to .233/.314/.423.
With his 12 homers and 10 stolen bases, Yelich was one of 11 big-league players with double digits in homers and steals -- joining the Los Angeles Dodgers' Shohei Ohtani, Arizona's Corbin Carroll, the Chicago Cubs' Pete Crow-Armstrong and Kyle Tucker, Pittsburgh's Oneil Cruz, Cincinnati's Elly De La Cruz, Cleveland's Jose Ramirez, San Diego's Fernando Tatis Jr., the New York Mets' Francisco Lindor and Texas' Wyatt Langford.
The Brewers announced Yelich's hand contusion midgame, and didn't immediately say whether Yelich will need a stint on the 10-day injured list.

Swatter confesses in court to terrorizing US politicians including Marjorie Taylor Greene from 6,000 miles away
A Romanian man confessed in court this week to terrorizing 'dozens of government officials,' including Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, with hoax 911 reports. Thomasz Szabo, 26, admitted to being the ringleader of an online community, which in late 2020, engaged in a pattern of bomb threats and 'swatting' — falsely reporting an ongoing threat of violence at a victim's home address for the purpose of provoking a police response there, court documents said. As the leader of the group, Szabo made false reports to U.S. law enforcement, including a threat in December 2020 to commit a mass-shooting at New York City synagogues, a threat in January 2021 to detonate explosives at the U.S. Capitol, and to kill President Trump, authorities say. He even publicized his 'swatting' activity to his followers and encouraged them to engage in similar behavior, according to the attorney's office. Szabo, aka 'Plank,' 'Jonah,' and 'Cypher,' went on to unleash 'a spree of swatting and bomb threats' with subordinate members of his group on Christmas Eve in 2023, continuing through early January of 2024. During the attacks, one of the group members bragged to Szabo: 'I did 25+ swattings today,' and 'creating massive havoc in [A]merica. $500,000+ in taxpayers' money wasted in just two days.' He and his group targeted at least six then-current or former senior U.S. executive branch officials, including multiple cabinet-level officials, the attorney's office said. Greene, Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, and at least two other Georgia state senators are believed to have been targeted in December 2023 with fake 911 calls to their homes, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported. 'Anyone who hijacks police resources for senseless crimes like these will have to answer for their actions,' said Jeanine Pirro, a former Fox News host appointed by President Trump to serve as U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia. DA officials said the plethora of victims included congress, senior federal law enforcement officials, judges, state government officials, multiple members of the media, and four religious institutions. 'This defendant led a dangerous swatting criminal conspiracy, deliberately threatening dozens of government officials with violent hoaxes and targeting our nation's security infrastructure from behind a screen overseas,' said Attorney General Bondi. 'This case reflects our continued focus on protecting the American people and working with international partners to stop these threats at their source,' she added. Szabo was extradited from Romania in November 2024, and his sentencing is scheduled for October 23.

The popular beverage linked with healthy aging
A 32-year study of nearly 50,000 women suggests that those who drank coffee in midlife were more likely to age healthily, maintaining sharpness, strength, and mental well-being. The research, presented at the American Society for Nutrition's annual conference, found that caffeinated coffee, unlike tea or decaf, was 'linked with healthy aging'. Healthy aging was defined as living to age 70 or older without major chronic diseases, maintaining physical function and good mental health, and exhibiting no cognitive impairment or memory complaints. Women considered 'healthy agers' consumed an average of 315 mg of caffeine per day in mid-life, primarily from regular coffee, with each additional cup linked to a 2-5 per cent higher chance of healthy aging. Dr Sara Mahdavi, who led the research, suggests that moderate coffee intake may offer protective benefits when combined with healthy lifestyle habits.
