Guardians outfield prospect Chase DeLauter has surgery on his right wrist
CLEVELAND — Outfielder Chase DeLauter, widely considered one of the top prospects in the Cleveland Guardians organization, had surgery Wednesday to repair a fractured hamate bone in his right wrist. DeLauter is expected to miss 6-8 weeks, which means he could be back for the last week or two of the season. He was examined on Tuesday by wrist/hand specialist Dr. Thomas Graham at Jefferson Orthopedics in Philadelphia. An MRI and clinical exam confirmed a hook of the hamate fracture and surgery was recommended. DeLauter has not played since July 12. He was batting .278 with eight doubles, five homers and 21 RBIs in 34 games at Triple-A Columbus. The 2022 first-round draft pick reached base in all 34 games he played for the Clippers, which led to some wondering when he might be called up. But DeLauter has struggled to stay on the field. He had three stints on the injured list last year and missed the first couple months of this season because of a sports hernia injury he suffered in spring training.

Third candidate jumps into Columbus mayor's race
COLUMBUS, Ga. () –– A third candidate has jumped into the 2026 Columbus mayor's race. Retired Army veteran Steven Kelly filed his intention to run for mayor with the local elections office. He's a 41-year-old stay-at-home dad and the father of a 2-year-old daughter. 'This is an amazing city, but there's room for improvement, everything from crime to infrastructure,' Kelly told WRBL. 'I think that there are things that need to be improved upon. Chief Stoney Mathis is doing an amazing job. I would like to work with him, and I would like to reach out to the community and actually engage with the community and get them to try to work with the police in a lot of ways.' Former city manager Isaiah Hugley was fired two months ago by city council. He was just seven months shy of his retirement date. Now, Hugley is running for mayor – and threatening a wrongful termination lawsuit against the seven city councilors who voted to fire him. Mark LaJoye retired from the military, has run for sheriff four times since 2012 – failing each time. Hugley has not spoken to the media since his May 27 termination. Mark LaJoye has also filed his intent to run for the vacant mayoral seat. Mayor Skip Henderson is term-limited after two terms. LaJoye has run unsuccessfully for sheriff four times since 2012. 'I think the fact that I'm a relative unknown does work in my favor,' Kelly said. 'I'm no different than any of the constituents and any of the members of the community. I'm just an average blue-collar working guy. But I see that there needs to be a change. I think that there's been a loss of morale, a loss of faith, and a lot of levels of the government leadership.' Qualifying is in March of next year. The election is May 19, 2026. Right now, candidates are just filing intent to run forms that allow them to raise and spend campaign funds. Other candidates are expected to enter the race. One of those is city councilor JoAnne Cogle. The District 7 councilor voted to fire Hugley. Multiple sources have told WRBL she is telling people she plans to run. Prior to Tuesday's meeting, she said she had not made a decision to seek the mayor's job. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc.

Democrats defy calls to remain neutral, endorse Tiara Ross for Columbus Council D7 seat
Despite calls from some within and outside the party to stay neutral, the Franklin County Democratic Party has endorsed Tiara Ross over fellow Democrat Jesse Vogel in the Columbus City Council District 7 race on the Nov. 5 ballot. After tense debate at a packed meeting on July 22, eligible party members voted 106-48 by a show of hands to endorse Ross ahead of the Nov. 4 election. During the meeting, Vogel and multiple party members reiterated their plea for the party not to endorse either candidate. Voters want a choice on the ballot, Vogel said. 'If this party gets involved in endorsing in this race, it will send a message to Democrats that they don't have a choice and it will hamper our ability to continue the hard work to mobilize voters across the city,' Vogel said. An open letter circulated ahead of the meeting called for the county Democratic party to stay out of endorsing in the District 7 council race and got more than 600 signatures, mostly from ordinary voters. Some of the opponents to endorsement packed into the meeting at the IBEW 683 Union Hall, in addition to Ross supporters. Ross said she would be proud to accept an endorsement. 'I'm asking for you to stand with the candidate who has taken on powerful interests and won,' Ross said ahead of the debate and vote. 'I'm ready for Columbus City Council because I believe in a city that has leaders who will roll up their sleeves and do the work.' Vogel, a public interest attorney, is more of an outsider to the party establishment than Ross. Heading into the meeting, Ross already had endorsements from a bevy of powerful local Democrats, including the entire city council, Mayor Andrew J. Ginther, and City Attorney Zach Klein. Klein spoke at the meeting in favor of endorsing Ross, an assistant Columbus city attorney. He said she's been a strong advocate for tenants and criminal justice reform. The party's screening committee recommended Ross, based on her experience in city government. It was not a unanimous committee decision, said Screening Committee Chair Gretchen James. Ross narrowly beat Vogel in the citywide May primary 41% to 39% by about 700 votes. Meanwhile, Vogel won in the district they're vying to represent 49% to 31%, according to a Dispatch analysis. They knocked independent candidate Kate Curry-Da-Souza out of the race. All city residents vote in all nine council districts under an unusual district system the city launched in 2023. Candidates must live in their geographic districts. The county party has no policy in its bylaws about when to endorse in a race between Democrats, said Brian Shinn, the county party's parliamentarian. He told The Dispatch before the meeting that not having a policy gives the party flexibility. During the meeting, opponents to endorsement repeatedly said staying neutral would encourage voter turnout and engagement. A few also mentioned Ross' driving record. In March, it was discovered that Ross had been driving on a suspended license for a speeding ticket and had nearly $3,800 in unpaid city parking tickets. Ross supporters said she has earned a spot on the city council, noting she won the primary. Ross told The Dispatch after the meeting that she's "truly honored to have the support of the party." "I'm disappointed," Vogel told The Dispatch after the meeting. "Tonight we saw political insiders and elected incumbents support the status quo."
