Cubs OF Kyle Tucker leaves game against Reds with a jammed finger
CHICAGO (AP) — Chicago Cubs slugger Kyle Tucker left Sunday's game against Cincinnati with a jammed right ring finger.
Tucker was removed after he fouled out to the catcher for the final out of the fourth inning. He was replaced by Vidal Bruján in right field before Cincinnati batted in the fifth.

The 28-year-old Tucker was slow to get up after he was thrown out while attempting to steal second in the first inning. He hit a ground-rule double in the third and scored on Pete Crow-Armstrong's two-out single to right.
Tucker has been a key player for Chicago in his first season with the team after he was acquired in a December trade with Houston. The three-time All-Star is batting .284 with 12 homers, 39 RBIs and 16 steals in 59 games for the NL Central leaders.

Trump's Foreign Policy, Explained
This is an edited transcript of an episode of 'The Ezra Klein Show.' You can listen to the conversation by following or subscribing to the show on the NYT Audio App, Apple, Spotify, Amazon Music, YouTube, iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts. One thing that's been on my mind is that we've not been covering Israel and Gaza or Ukraine and Russia nearly as much as we did in 2023 and 2024, frankly, as much as I think we should be. There have been two reasons for that. One has been that President Trump's second administration has felt, in many ways, like a domestic emergency, and it has pulled much more of our focus here. The other is that often, when we're covering these conflicts, what we're really covering — implicitly or explicitly — is the American position on them: How are we going to use our might, our money, our weaponry, our leverage to bring them to some kind of close or settlement? And early in Trump's second administration, he basically filled me with despair. He seemed to have little interest in Gaza, except for potentially building hotels there. Beyond that, he seemed perfectly happy to let Israel annex whatever it wanted. On Ukraine, he was at odds with Volodymyr Zelensky, and his main interest seemed to be his relationship with Vladimir Putin. But things have been changing a bit. Other parts of his 'America First' foreign policy have been coming into more focus. So what is Trump's foreign policy? What, at this point, can we say about it? How has it been evolving over the course of his still young second term? To help me think that through, I wanted to bring Emma Ashford back on the show. She is a senior fellow at the Stimson Center. She's the author of the forthcoming book 'First Among Equals,' and she's a foreign-policy analyst who is more of a realist. She's in fundamental ways more sympathetic to some of the motivating impulses of Trump's foreign policy, even if she doesn't always agree with how that's carried out. So I thought she'd be a good person to help me steel-man what the administration is doing and think through whether that's working or has a real chance of working. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

Trump pardons 2 divers who freed 19 sharks caught in fisherman's line off Florida but were charged with theft
Miami — Two South Florida shark divers convicted of theft for freeing 19 sharks and a giant grouper from a fisherman's longline several miles from shore have been pardoned by President Trump. Pardons for Tanner Mansell and John Moore Jr. were signed Wednesday. They had been convicted in 2022 of theft of property within special maritime jurisdiction. The two men avoided prison time but were ordered to pay $3,343.72 in restitution, and the felony convictions prevented them from voting in Florida, owning firearms and traveling freely outside the U.S. "We never stopped fighting, and justice has finally prevailed," Moore's attorney, Marc Seitles, said in a statement. "We are thrilled the White House considered our arguments and determined this was an unjust prosecution. We could not be happier for John and Tanner." Moore, who was captain of a shark-diving charter boat, and Mansell, a crew member, spotted the longline about 3 miles off the Jupiter Inlet in August 2020, according to court records. Believing it was an illegal fishing line, the men freed the sharks and grouper, reported it to state wildlife officials and brought the line back to shore. Federal prosecutors later charged the men with theft. Officials said the line actually belonged to a fisherman licensed by the National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration to catch sharks for research. Mansell and Moore were convicted by a jury, and their appeals were later denied. The full and unconditional pardons signed by Mr. Trump erase those convictions. "This case never should have been filed," Mansell's attorney, Ian Goldstein, said in a statement. "These gentlemen made an honest mistake and were trying to save sharks from what they believed to be an illegal longline fishing setup. I can't think of two individuals more deserving of a Presidential Pardon."

How a new planetarium show helped scientists unlock a cosmic secret
NEW YORK — Scientists have unlocked one of the solar system's many secrets from an unexpected source: a planetarium show opening to the public on Monday. At the American Museum of Natural History last fall, experts were hard at work preparing 'Encounters in the Milky Way,' a deep dive into our home galaxy shaped by the movements of stars and other celestial objects.
