Orioles place 1B Ryan Mountcastle on the injured list with a hamstring strain
BALTMORE (AP) — The Baltimore Orioles placed Ryan Mountcastle on the 10-day injured list with a right hamstring strain Saturday, a day after the first baseman left in the eighth inning of a 2-1 victory over the Chicago White Sox with discomfort.
Interim manager Tony Mansolino said Mountcastle had an MRI. 'Just hopeful that it's not too bad,' Mansolino said.

Mountcastle, who is hitting .246 with two homers and 15 RBIs, is the second Orioles player in as many days to go on the injured list with a hamstring strain after Cedric Mullins did so Friday.
Mountcastle is one of five players from Baltimore's opening day lineup who are currently on the injured list, joining Mullins, outfielders Colton Cowser and Tyler O'Neill, and infielder Jordan Westburg.
Both Cowser and Westburg are currently on rehabilitation assignments at Triple-A Norfolk.
The Orioles recalled infielder Coby Mayo from Norfolk to take Mountcastle's roster spot. Mansolino said Mayo, who was in Baltimore's lineup Saturday as the designated hitter, could see time at first base.

Baltimore also selected the contract of outfielder Jordyn Adams from Norfolk and designated catcher Chadwick Tromp for assignment.

Navy set to rename USNS Harvey Milk, mulls new names for other ships named for civil rights leaders
Washington — The U.S. Navy plans to rename the USNS Harvey Milk, a fleet replenishment oiler named after the slain gay rights leader and Navy veteran, and is considering renaming multiple naval ships named after civil rights leaders and prominent American voices, CBS News has learned. Norfolk Va., (Sept. 24, 2024) — Civil Service Mariners (CIVMARS) aboard Military Sealift Command's (MSC) fleet replenishment oiler USNS Harvey Milk (T-AO 206) completed their first replenishment-at-sea (RAS) with two Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) vessels. LaShawn Sykes U.S. Navy documents obtained by CBS News and used to brief the secretary of the Navy and his chief of staff show proposed timelines for rolling out the name change of the USNS Harvey Milk to the public. While the documents do not say what the ship's new name would be, the proposal comes during Pride Month, the monthlong observance of the LGBTQ+ community that also coincides with the anniversary of the Stonewall uprising of 1969. WorldPride celebrations are being held in Washington, D.C., this year. The documents obtained by CBS News also show other vessels named after prominent leaders are also on the Navy's renaming "recommended list." Among them are the USNS Thurgood Marshall, USNS Ruth Bader Ginsburg, USNS Harriet Tubman, USNS Dolores Huerta, USNS Lucy Stone, USNS Cesar Chavez and USNS Medgar Evers. CBS News found that a December 2024 web article from Naval Sea Systems Command about the laying of the keel for the future USNS Thurgood Marshall has been deleted. File: Alissa Kamens Marshall, USNS Thurgood Marshall ship sponsor participates in the time-honored tradition of the keel laying/certification by welding her initials into the keel plate of the new ship. Sarah Cannon "The reported decision by the Trump Administration to change the names of the USNS Harvey Milk and other ships in the John Lewis-class is a shameful, vindictive erasure of those who fought to break down barriers for all to chase the American Dream," Speaker Emerita Nancy Pelosi told CBS News in a statement. She added, "Our military is the most powerful in the world – but this spiteful move does not strengthen our national security or the 'warrior' ethos. Instead, it is a surrender of a fundamental American value: to honor the legacy of those who worked to build a better country." House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries told CBS News the move was "an utter abomination in terms of the extreme MAGA Republican effort to continue to erase American history, and we're not going to allow it to happen." And Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer said on X that Hegseth "should be ashamed of himself and reverse this immediately." Following his confirmation in January, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth issued a directive instructing the Pentagon and U.S. military services to cease hosting events tied to heritage or awareness months, citing concerns that such programs could undermine unity within the ranks. The "Identity Months Dead at DoD" guidance banned official manpower and resources from being used on such events — among them, Pride Month, Black History Month and Women's History Month. The documents obtained by CBS News were not marked with the traditional classification markers typically seen on Defense Department memos. The documents were not marked as "For Official Use Only" or "Controlled Unclassified Information," they were also not marked to indicate they were drafts. There was a "CAUTION" note, however, referring to the information as publicly sensitive. The memo said the renaming of naval ships was to realign the U.S. military with Trump administration priorities of "reestablishing the warrior culture." The documents call for Navy Secretary John Phelan to select a new name for the USNS Harvey Milk on Tuesday, with the notice of the name change going out to other senior U.S. Navy officials later in the week after undergoing legal review. Chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement that Hegseth "is committed to ensuring that the names attached to all DOD installations and assets are reflective of the Commander-in-Chief's priorities, our nation's history, and the warrior ethos." Parnell added that any potential renaming decisions would be announced once the internal reviews are complete. first reported the name change for the USNS Harvey Milk on Tuesday, but the news of other naval vessels being considered for a name change has not yet been reported. The USNS Harvey Milk is a John Lewis-class replenishment oiler, designed to support carrier strike groups at sea. The class of ships is named after civil rights icon and Congressman John Lewis, who died in 2020. Harvey Milk, the political trailblazer, emerged in the 1970s as one of the first openly gay elected officials in the United States. After years of activism, he was elected to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors in 1977, where he quickly became a national symbol of LGBTQ+ political empowerment. His life was cut short in 1978 when he was assassinated in City Hall, alongside Mayor George Moscone. The USNS Harvey Milk was christened in 2021 and represented a significant step toward inclusivity within the armed forces. Before he emerged as one of the most visible advocates for gay rights in American history, Milk served in the U.S. Navy. From 1952 to 1954, he held posts as an operations and dive officer aboard two submarine rescue ships — the USS Chanticleer and the USS Kittiwake — both active during the Korean War, according to the U.S. National Archives. But his sexual orientation carried profound consequences as Milk came under scrutiny. In December 1954, Milk, who was then a lieutenant junior grade, was facing a court martial for participating in a "homosexual act" a year earlier. Instead of facing trial, Milk was drummed out of the U.S. military, like so many other gay service members of his era. In January 1954, he resigned his commission and accepted an "Other Than Honorable" discharge. In 2021, the Navy approached Milk's nephew, Stuart Milk, to see if he wanted his uncle's discharge upgraded, according to NPR. Stuart decided against it as a reminder that not everyone was treated with honor. The name change would follow two base renamings Hegseth directed earlier this year to reverse the work a congressionally mandated naming commission did to remove names honoring the Confederacy. In February, he directed Fort Liberty in North Carolina return to Fort Bragg, saying it would now be named after a non-Confederate Bragg, and then directed Fort Moore change to Fort Benning, after another Benning. The naming commission also suggested the Navy rename the guided missile cruiser USS Chancellorsville, which honors a Confederate battle victory, to the USS Robert Smalls, to recognize a slave who stole a Confederate ship and surrendered it to the Union. The Navy also renamed the USNS Maury to the USNS Marie Tharp, removing the name of a Confederate sailor and replacing it with the name of a pioneering female oceanographer. Although the Navy has renamed ships for various reasons, name changes are still an exceptionally rare occurrence, especially after the ships have entered service.

‘I appreciate everyone': Community rallies after husband and father's terminal diagnosis
FORT ST. JOHN, B.C. — A Fort St. John woman is applauding the support of the community in the face of her family's heartbreak. Britany Gould and her husband, Tony Lloyd, have been together for 11 years and share two children. Gould told that Lloyd, an oil and gas industry worker, began 'experiencing headaches' and 'forgetting things' in late March, but at the time the couple didn't think much of the situation. 'He started saying that he had really bad neck pain,' said Gould. 'He thought that his neck was [just] out and he needed to go to the chiropractor. 'Then, late at night-time, he started actually getting sick and getting really confused and not knowing what's going on. His balance was quite off. So I ended up having to call the ambulance.' Rushed to Fort St. John Hospital, an MRI scan revealed the grim prognosis: glioblastoma, a fast-growing brain tumour. Lloyd was airlifted to hospital in Vancouver, where the couple spent three weeks. While surgery was performed, only 'a small portion' of Lloyd's tumour could be removed. 'The brain is such a sensitive area and a lot of it was intertwined,' explained Gould. 'It wasn't just sitting on top that they could just kind of pop it off. [The doctors] did say there was a possibility for him to get chemo and radiation down the line.' After spending three weeks in the hospital, Lloyd and Gould flew back to Fort St. John to be closer to home. Unfortunately, further tests revealed the brain tumour had grown, and as a result, Lloyd has lost his eyesight. Doctors in Prince George revealed chemo and radiation therapy was not an option. 'I'm in the hospital with him six to eight hours a day, every single day,' said Gould. 'It's hard thinking about what he's going through and what he's experiencing.' Gould started a GoFundMe campaign in May hoping to raise $5,500, and it has already reached $4,525. Local businesses have stepped up and raised funds to assist the family. Local food vendor Lucas's Pit Stop has raised money via a jar at events at the Northern Lights Raceway. Its last event catered by the establishment raised $1,200. In addition, Audielicious in Fort St. John began a burger drive on May 29th, with $5 dollars from every burger sold going toward the family until June 8th. Gould and owner Audie Louie worked together at Charlie Lake's former Jackfish Dundee Pub in the past and are close friends. 'Everyone's been so sweet. It actually takes a bit of a burden off my shoulders, especially for a little while,' said Gould. 'I can take care of Tony, I can take care of the kids. I really want to spend as much time with them, just give them all the attention that they need and deserve. 'Everyone's just been amazing beyond words. I appreciate everyone.'

Damaging vehicle crash into East Baltimore building wasn't the first time, owner says
A building owner in East Baltimore said that when a truck slammed into the structure on Monday night, it wasn't the first time. However, the most recent crash caused the building to collapse and was ultimately torn down. Michael Davis, the building's owner for 29 years, told WJZ his building has been hit three times within the last five years. The first crash was by a drunk driver, and the second was caused by someone running a red light. "I really think that it could have been saved, but the city didn't really give me time to do the repairs," Davis said. "I'm trying my best to fight to hold on to that new addition that's on the back." Davis said he tried to put poles in to prevent drivers from crashing into the rowhome, but it wasn't approved. Building torn down following the crash Around 8 p.m. on Monday, a 64-year-old man drove a pick-up truck into the building at the corner of Federal Street and N. Patterson Park Avenue, according to police. The building partially collapsed after a support structure was destroyed. The rest of the building was torn down by the city on Tuesday, according to the building's owner. Around 8 p.m. on Monday, a 64-year-old man drove a pick-up truck into the building at the corner of Federal Street and N. Patterson Park Avenue, according to police. CBS News Baltimore Davis said he rented the building to a hair salon owner who's been in business for 20 years. "She was very happy with the location, and just to see the amount of time that she put into it, and just see her lose her whole livelihood, it's terrible," Davis said. What will happen to the building space? The future of the corner property is uncertain Davis hopes to continue the hair salon in the back portion of the building, which is still standing. He said he may add more parking rather than rebuild the main structure. "If we were able to keep the city from tearing this section down, our goal is to put necessary windows and put everything that we need into that section and reopen within the next couple of months," Davis said. Neighbors react to "a big boom" Neighbors reported hearing a loud sound, and when they looked outside, they saw the aftermath of the crash. "A big boom. When I look out the window, all that fell," said neighbor Billy Grenlee. Another neighbor thought it was a tractor-trailer or bus speeding by. "I looked outside, and the truck was in the building," said Sandra. "Wow, how did that happen? How did you get there? That building has been hit multiple times. Each time they fix it. Somebody hit it again." Grenlee told WJZ the building collapse has made him think twice about staying in his home. "This whole side could have collapsed," Grenlee said. "I could have been right in that house in the living room, upstairs, and the whole place collapse. I would have been gone."
