PHOENIX (AP) — Albert Suárez, relevista venezolano de los Orioles de Baltimore, fue transferido a la lista de lesionados de 60 días debido a un problema en el hombro, anunció el equipo el lunes.
El lanzador derecho tuvo una aparición esta temporada, lanzando dos entradas y dos tercios contra los Azulejos de Toronto el 28 de marzo. El manager de los Orioles, Brandon Hyde, dijo que no se espera que Suárez necesite cirugía.
“Van a ser meses. Esperemos que solo unos pocos meses, pero es una noticia realmente desafortunada”, expresó Hyde.
El jugador de 35 años fue una parte importante del cuerpo de lanzadores la temporada pasada, acumulando una efectividad de 3.70 en 133 entradas y dos tercios en 32 apariciones, incluidas 24 como abridor.
“Es un gran golpe para nosotros porque estaba lanzando muy bien en los entrenamientos de primavera e hizo muchas cosas bien para nosotros el año pasado”, afirmó Hyde.
También el lunes, los Orioles adquirieron al lanzador zurdo Grant Wolfram de los Cerveceros de Milwaukee a cambio del jardinero de ligas menores Daz Cameron y dinero en efectivo.
Wolfram fue incluido en el roster de 40 jugadores y enviado a Triple-A Norfolk después de que Suárez fuera movido a la lista de lesionados de 60 días.

Americans are deeply divided along partisan lines about tariffs and the U.S.’s foreign alliances, according to a new poll.
In the poll from The Wall Street Journal
, 77 percent of Republican voters expressed a mostly positive view of tariffs’ impact on the economy and said they help create jobs, while 93 percent of Democrats said they drive higher prices and have a mostly negative impact.
Overall, a majority of the registered voters polled — 54 percent — viewed tariffs negatively and said they did not support President Trump’s tariff plans.
Similar partisan divisions emerged when respondents were asked about the U.S.’s foreign alliances and the aid it provides to other countries.
Eighty-one percent of Republican voters said the country’s allies haven’t shouldered enough responsibility for their own defense and that U.S. tax dollars should no longer be used to defend them, while 83 percent of Democrats said foreign alliances are a source of strength and should be funded by tax dollars. Eighty-one percent of Democrats held a favorable view of NATO, compared to just 31 percent of Republicans.
Similarly, 83 percent of Democrats supported the U.S. continuing to provide financial aid to Ukraine amid its ongoing war with Russia, while 79 percent of Republicans opposed it.
Overall, a narrow majority of 51 percent of voters supported significantly reducing broader foreign aid, with 45 percent opposing it. Ninety-two percent of Republicans voiced support for such cuts, while 85 percent of Democrats said the opposite.
The poll was conducted from March 27 to April 1, before Trump last Wednesday announced an general 10 percent tariff on goods imported into the United States, alongside targeted tariffs aimed at multiple U.S. trading partners
.
Markets dropped dramatically
following the announcement, with the Dow Jones Industrial Average losing 2,200 points and the S&P 500 dropping by 10 percent over the course of Thursday and Friday.
Trump defended his sweeping tariffs Sunday amid plunging markets, saying he did not “want anything to go down.”
“When you look at the trade deficit we have with certain countries, with China it’s a trillion dollars,” Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One.
“And we have to solve our trade deficit with China. … Hundreds of billions of dollars a year we lose with China. And unless we solve that problem, I’m not going to make a deal,” he continued.
The president has also long expressed skepticism of NATO and has repeatedly pushed allies to contribute more to defense spending, arguing that the U.S. takes on a heavier burden than other members of the alliance.
And the Trump administration has moved to massively reduce U.S. foreign aid, seeking to freeze billions of dollars in assistance and to dismantle the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) shortly after Trump returned to the White House.
The Wall Street Journal poll was conducted from March 27 to April 1 among 1,500 registered voters and had a margin of error of plus or minus 2.5 percentage points
.
The Indiana Court of Appeals rejected a bid Monday for a new trial for a teen who killed a buyer who was purchasing a gun from him.
Elijah Davis, now 20, got 45 years for murder in July for the Aug. 24, 2022 shooting death of Marcos A. Martinez, 19, of Merrillville. Davis said it was self-defense.
In his appeal, Davis argued that Judge Natalie Bokota made a “fundamental error” by not reviewing a third legal standard before granting a prosecutor’s request to dismiss a prospective Black female juror.
Davis argued other non-Black jurors detailing their self-defense experiences — who said they had fought a burglar or had a grandma who had her purse snatched — weren’t challenged in the same way.
When asked, the Black woman told a prosecutor during jury selection that she had been a stalking victim and had to use self-defense in the 1990s, and in other instances while living in Chicago.
She recalled how someone tried to grab her and she started to drag them to the street.
“I was going to throw him in the traffic,” she said. “I told him he was going to die that day, but he didn’t.”
When asked by Davis’ defense lawyer if she had “any problem” with someone “using deadly force,” the woman replied, “Only if they’re, like, really mistaken.”
After a prosecutor asked to strike — or dismiss — the woman during jury selection, the defense attorney asked for a “race neutral explanation” under the law.
The prosecutor responded they were focused on the woman’s “attitudes and feelings toward self-defense” including her own personal experiences.
In a 3-0 decision, Appeals Judge Elaine Brown rejected Davis’ argument.
The prosecutor satisfied the law by already giving a “race neutral explanation” — a standard meant to prevent outright discrimination.
The two other jurors were not similar, since the woman preemptively told a prosecutor she could have killed her attacker, Brown wrote. The prosecutor’s reason for excluding the woman was not a “mere pretext based on race,” Brown wrote.
Merrillville Police responded to the 5600 block of Pennsylvania Street for a reported shooting. Martinez was found shot lying on the ground across the street. A mutual friend, 16, set up the gun sale.
Martinez jumped in Davis’ white Pontiac. Martinez had a handgun in his hoodie pocket, according to court documents. Martinez looked at the gun for sale, before leaving, saying he needed to get money. He returned, holding and looking at both guns.
The friend thought Martinez would steal the gun. Just as the witness opened the car door to get out, he heard gunshots. The witness saw Davis fire the “first shot,” according to documents. The Pontiac took off, other witnesses said. Martinez was shot “two to three times,” wounded in the chest, bicep and side, according to court records.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Universidades de todo Estados Unidos están reportando que las visas de algunos de sus estudiantes internacionales están siendo revocadas inesperadamente
, expresando alarma por lo que parece ser un nuevo nivel de escrutinio gubernamental.
Las visas pueden ser canceladas por varias razones, pero los directivos universitarios dicen que el gobierno ha estado poniendo fin silenciosamente al estatus de residencia legal de los alumnos con poca anticipación en los avisos a los estudiantes o a las escuelas. Esto representa un cambio con respecto a la práctica anterior y deja a los estudiantes vulnerables a la detención y deportación.
La lista de universidades que han descubierto que a algunos estudiantes se les ha cancelado su estatus legal incluye a Harvard, Stanford, Michigan, UCLA y la Universidad Estatal de Ohio.
El gobierno del presidente Donald Trump se ha enfocado en estudiantes que habían estado involucrados en activismo o discursos propalestinos. Hubo algunas detenciones de alumnos que han acaparado titulares noticiosos, incluido Mahmoud Khalil
, un titular de tarjeta verde —un comprobante de que se cuenta con la residencia legal—, quien encabezó protestas en la Universidad de Columbia.
Pero más escuelas están siendo testigos del retiro de visas a estudiantes que no tienen vínculos conocidos con protestas. En algunos casos, para fundamentar dichas acciones se han mencionado infracciones pasadas, como por ejemplo violaciones a las leyes de tránsito. Algunas universidades dicen que no les quedan claras cuáles son las razones, y están buscando respuestas.
“Lo que estás viendo que sucede con los estudiantes internacionales es realmente una parte del escrutinio mucho más amplio que el gobierno de Trump está ejerciendo sobre los inmigrantes de todas las distintas categorías”, declaró Michelle Mittelstadt, directora de asuntos públicos en el Instituto de Política Migratoria.
Muchos funcionarios universitarios y estudiantes sólo se han enterado de los cambios cuando han examinado una base de datos federal y han visto cambios en el estatus migratorio de un individuo.
¿Cómo funcionan las visas de estudiante?
Los alumnos de otros países deben cumplir con una serie de requisitos para obtener una visa de estudiante en Estados Unidos, generalmente una F-1. Después de ser admitidos en una escuela en territorio estadounidense, los estudiantes pasan por un proceso de solicitud y entrevista en una embajada o consulado estadounidense en el extranjero.
Los estudiantes con visa F-1 deben demostrar que tienen suficiente apoyo financiero para cursar sus estudios en Estados Unidos. Deben mantener buenas calificaciones en su programa académico, y en general están limitados para trabajar fuera del campus durante su trayecto universitario.
Las visas de entrada son gestionadas por el Departamento de Estado. Una vez que están en Estados Unidos, el estatus legal de los estudiantes internacionales es supervisado por el Programa de Estudiantes y Visitantes de Intercambio, adscrito al Departamento de Seguridad Nacional.
Los directivos de muchas universidades se enteraron de que el estatus legal de algunos de sus estudiantes internacionales había sido cancelado cuando revisaron una base de datos gestionada por Seguridad Nacional. En el pasado, dicen funcionarios universitarios, normalmente las visas eran revocadas después de que las escuelas le informaban al gobierno cuando el comportamiento o el rendimiento de los alumnos los hacía perder su estatus.
Después de perder la residencia legal, se les dice a los estudiantes que deben irse del país
Históricamente, a los estudiantes que se les revocaba la visa se les permitía mantener su estatus de residencia legal y completar sus estudios.
La falta de una visa válida sólo limitaba su capacidad para salir de Estados Unidos y regresar, algo para lo cual podían volver a presentar una solicitud ante el Departamento de Estado. Pero si un alumno ha perdido el estatus de residencia, debe irse inmediatamente o de lo contrario se arriesga a ser detenido por las autoridades de inmigración.
Algunos directivos de la educación superior temen que los arrestos y revocaciones pudiesen tener un efecto desalentador en los alumnos extranjeros que aspiran a estudiar en Estados Unidos.
La falta de claridad sobre lo que está generando las revocaciones puede hacer que los estudiantes tengan miedo, señaló Sarah Spreitzer, vicepresidenta de relaciones gubernamentales en el Consejo Estadounidense de Educación.
“Las acciones muy públicas que están tomando el ICE (siglas en inglés del Servicio de Control de Inmigración y Aduanas) y el Departamento de Seguridad Nacional con respecto a algunos de estos estudiantes —por medio de las cuales están sacando a estos alumnos de sus hogares o de sus calles—, eso no suele hacerse a menos que haya un problema de seguridad cuando se revoca una visa de estudiante”, expresó. “La amenaza de esta expulsión muy rápida es algo nuevo”.
Las universidades están tratando de tranquilizar a los estudiantes
En mensajes a las personas en sus campus, las universidades han dicho que le están pidiendo al gobierno federal respuestas sobre por qué decidió cancelar las visas. Otras les han enfatizado nuevamente a los estudiantes que tomen precauciones en su viaje, recomendándoles que lleven su pasaporte y otros documentos de inmigración con ellos.
Los directivos universitarios hablaron de un creciente sentido de incertidumbre y ansiedad.
“Estos son tiempos sin precedentes, y nuestros principios rectores normales para vivir en una sociedad democrática están siendo desafiados”, escribió en un correo electrónico Marcelo Suárez Orozco, rector de la Universidad de Massachusetts en Boston. “Ante la velocidad y la profundidad de los cambios que están ocurriendo, debemos reflexionar sobre las maneras en que podemos prepararnos, protegernos y responder mejor”.
Suárez Orozco indicó que el estatus de residencia legal les había sido cancelado a dos estudiantes y “a otros cinco miembros de nuestra comunidad universitaria, incluidos egresados recientes que participan en programas de capacitación”.

Growing opposition among hardline House conservatives to the Senate’s framework for advancing President Trump’s ambitious legislative agenda is threatening to make this week’s vote one of the heaviest lifts yet for Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.).
At least 10 House Republicans have said they will vote “no” on the measure and a handful of others have publicly criticized the resolution, creating an uphill battle for Johnson as he looks to muscle it through his razor-thin majority.
Johnson is eyeing a Wednesday vote on the Senate-approved budget resolution
, which would unlock the reconciliation process that Republicans are looking to use to pass tax cuts, border funding and energy policy. The Speaker is actively urging his ranks to fall in line and the White House has begun making calls to House Republicans, a source told The Hill.
But a mounting swell of resistance among fiscal hawks who want commitments on large spending cuts upfront is putting that plan in jeopardy.
Underscoring the discontent, Rep. Andy Harris (R-Md.), the chair of the hardline House Freedom Caucus who has sharply criticized the budget resolution, is advocating for the chamber to skip the vote altogether and move straight to crafting the details of the package — an unconventional move that would be a break from protocol. Asked about prospects of the bill passing, Harris said Monday: “It doesn’t need to. The committees can do their work without the budget resolution.”
That idea, to be sure, has no chance of being picked up by House GOP leaders. Johnson told reporters “we disagree on that” when asked about the prospect. The view of House GOP leadership is that the House can stay in the driver’s seat and secure major cuts if they pass the budget resolution and craft the details of the ultimate reconciliation legislation faster than the Senate.
But the sheer mention of the delay is signaling that conservatives have little appetite for moving forward with the measure this week. Johnson said he would be meeting with the Freedom Caucus to talk about the budget resolution later Monday evening.
The growing discontent within House Republican ranks is increasing the likelihood that Trump — who endorsed the measure and said “We need to pass it IMMEDIATELY!” — may have to step in personally, as he did to secure Johnson’s re-election as Speaker and passage of the House budget resolution back in February.
He leaned into that lobby campaign on Monday, writing on Truth Social “THE HOUSE MUST PASS THIS BUDGET RESOLUTION, AND QUICKLY.”
“There is no better time than now to get this Deal DONE!” he added.
Johnson told reporters on Monday that the president has not yet gotten involved in the effort to ramp up support for the measure, but a White House official suggested that the president was ready to jump in as needed.
“President Trump has great relationships on Capitol Hill, and his team is regularly engaging with the House to urge the passage of the Senate Amendment to the House budget resolution in line with the American people’s priorities,” the White House official said.
House GOP Conference Chair Lisa McClain (R-Mich.), for her part, predicted that Trump’s involvement would take shape soon.
“It is personal with the president. He cares very deeply about our country and the situation that we’re in, and this is his vision on how to get it done,” McClain said. “So yes, I think he will personally get involved.”
The first key test for Johnson and House GOP leadership will come on Tuesday, when the House Rules Committee — which includes two opponents of the framework, Reps. Chip Roy (R-Texas) and Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) — is expected to take up the budget resolution and dispatch it to the floor for a vote.
The committee opted to push consideration of the budget resolution from Monday — the day bills are typically examined by the panel — to Tuesday, signaling potential trouble for the resolution. Norman said he did not yet know how he plans to vote in committee, but he was clear in his opposition to the measure.
“Why are we abandoning?” Norman asked. “I mean, $4 billion versus $2 trillion? I don’t get it; the math doesn’t add up.”
On the House floor, Johnson faces a towering math problem. In the razor-thin GOP majority, the Speaker can only afford to lose three Republican votes and clear the measure, assuming full Democratic opposition and complete attendance. Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Monday stressed to House Democrats that it was crucial to be present for the vote.
The opposition is not limited to hardliners like those in the Freedom Caucus. Rep. Jodey Arrington (R-Texas), the chairman of the House Budget Committee, went after the resolution over the weekend, calling it “unserious and disappointing.”
Johnson, for his part, is remaining optimistic amid the growing opposition, encouraged by the fact that he still has time to get his members in line — 48 hours is an eternity in Washington — in addition to Trump’s strong endorsement of the measure.
“It’s going great,” Johnson said when asked how he plans to get the measure over the finish line. “We’re doing what we do here every week and that’s building consensus and I need a little time. Everybody’s just now getting in town so we’ll have plenty of time to do it.”
McClain also struck an optimistic tone.
“Do we have the votes as we sit right here today? No, I don’t think that’s a surprise to anybody. You can see,” McClain said. “But that’s how we always start out, right?”
The concerns among hardline conservatives are two-fold. First, those on the right flank are incensed that the budget resolution includes different spending cut minimums for each chamber. House committees are directed to find at least $1.5 trillion in cuts to federal spending, the same number laid out in the lower chamber’s budget resolution, while Senate panels are directed to make at least $4 billion in slashes — an enormous discrepancy.
Johnson has argued that, despite the differences, the House will still pursue significant spending cuts.
“Although the Senate chose to take a different approach on its instructions, the amended resolution in NO WAY prevents us from achieving our goals in the final reconciliation bill,” he wrote in a letter to colleagues over the weekend.
Hardliners, however, are not buying it, convinced that the final product will be closer in line with the Senate’s instructions — a fact that moderates are gunning for amid worries over potential cuts to social safety net programs.
“I don’t like it,” Rep. Beth Van Duyne (R-Texas) said of the resolution, noting that she was considering voting against it. “There’s no emphasis on the budget decreases.”
Rep. Rich McCormick (R-Ga.) also said he was “undecided” about the budget resolution, adding: “I want to hear the minutia of it.”
Second, hardliners have hammered away at the Senate for utilizing a budgetary gimmick known as current policy baseline, which assumes that the extension of the 2017 Trump tax cuts will not add to the deficit — despite the Congressional Budget Office saying they could cost around $4 trillion.
Senators have embraced the scoring tactic in their effort to permanently extend the 2017 tax cuts — a key request from the president — which conservatives are rolling their eyes at.
“From budget gimmicks to a pathetic $4B in spending cuts, the Senate’s budget resolution is a non-starter,” Rep. Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.) wrote on X over the weekend. “We need to be serious about delivering on President Trump’s America First agenda in a FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE manner. If this comes to the floor in its current form, I’m a NO.”
Gary Mayor Eddie Melton continues to support a potential national steel deal after President Donald Trump has ordered a new Committee on Foreign Investment review.
“As mayor, I have spent months doing my due diligence and speaking with stakeholders across the country,” Melton said in a Monday statement. “This is simply the best deal on the table and represents both security and opportunity for thousands of American steelworkers in cities like Gary.”
On Monday, Trump ordered a CFIUS review of a deal between U.S. Steel and Nippon Steel. Former President Joe Biden previously turned down the deal after CFIUS found national security risks with the deal.
The deal could bring “transformative benefits” to Gary, Melton said.
“I am confident that this review will put to rest any doubts about the benefits of the partnership, and I look forward to the positive impact these investments will have on our city and the American steel industry,” he said.
U.S. Steel released a statement following Trump’s order, saying the company appreciates and commends his leadership.
“His action today validates our Board’s bold decision to challenge President Biden’s unlawful order,” said a U.S. Steel statement. “Today’s decision by President Trump is pivotal as we work to deliver on new and historic levels of investment in American steelmaking. We look forward to continuing to work closely with President Trump and his Administration to finalize this significant and important investment, which will preserve existing jobs, create new jobs, enhance national security and secure a bright future for American manufacturing.”
In Trump’s order for a new CFIUS review, he said the committee has to give a new recommendation within 45 days, and each member agency must include a statement with reasons for their decision.
In February, Trump announced that Nippon Steel was dropping its $14.1 billion acquisition of the American steel company and would still be making an “investment, rather than a purchase.” Trump planned to mediate and arbitrate as the steel companies negotiated the investment.
During his campaign, Trump vowed that he would block the acquisition. Biden and former Vice President Kamala Harris also opposed the purchase.
In August, Nippon Steel announced that it would invest about $300 million toward the Gary Works facility, updating the blast furnace and extending its life by about 20 years.
Nippon Steel Vice Chairman Takahiro Mori later said the company planned to invest $1 billion into Gary Works and nearly $3 billion into its union-represented facilities.
The deal offers “unparalleled advantages” for steelworkers, Melton said, including nearly $1 billion in sustainable investments to modernize Gary Works, guarantees to honor existing collective bargaining agreements, a $5,000 closing bonus for all union-represented employees and stability for families.
“Nippon Steel has made clear commitments to invest in and strengthen American manufacturing,” Melton said. “Their voluntary measures, such as maintaining production capacity within the U.S. and safeguarding jobs at facilities across the country, are vital to securing the future of steelmaking in Gary.”
United Steelworkers leadership have not been optimistic about a deal between Nippon and U.S. Steel, specifically President David McCall. Leadership have expressed concerns of the Japanese company’s desire to follow U.S. Steel’s business model and a lack of investment in union facilities.
“Nippon has proven itself to be a serial trade cheater with a history of dumping its products into our markets,” McCall previously said in a statement. “While we await the details of the proposed investment, we encourage President Trump to continue safeguarding the long-term future of the domestic steel industry by instead seeking American alternatives.”
President Donald Trump lived up to his title as the world’s pettiest world leader
once again on Monday by threatening to slap China with an additional 50% tariff unless it removes its 34% retaliatory tax
on U.S. goods.
“If China does not withdraw its 34% increase above their already long term trading abuses by tomorrow, April 8th, 2025, the United States will impose ADDITIONAL Tariffs on China of 50%, effective April 9th,” Trump wrote on Truth Social
.
This latest threat marks another escalation in Trump’s tit-for-tat trade war
. Just last week, he rolled out so-called reciprocal tariffs
on roughly 90 countries
on what he called “Liberation Day.” And now that China has matched the United States with a 34% tariff of its own, Trump has doubled down.
In his Truth Social rant, Trump said that China retaliated “despite my warning that any country that Retaliates against the U.S. by issuing additional Tariffs, above and beyond their already existing long term Tariff abuse of our Nation, will be immediately met with new and substantially higher Tariffs.”
If Trump goes through with this, we’ll be in a full-blown trade war.
A senior White House official told ABC News
that Trump’s new threat wouldn’t just be on top of the 34% tariff announced last week, but also on the existing 20%, bringing the total tariff on some Chinese goods to a jaw-dropping 104%.
Trump is seen on “Liberation Day” announcing his so-called reciprocal tariffs, which triggered a nearly immediate economic downturn.
That’s not just a number. It means that iPhones, TVs, clothing, furniture—basically anything made in China—could soon cost U.S. consumers a whole lot more
. And with Trump’s timeline, that price spike could hit shelves as early as this week.
But as Americans brace for these higher costs, Trump spent the weekend
golfing.
Now, under pressure, he’s pretending to play diplomat. In his Truth Social post on Monday, he floated the idea of “negotiations” with other nations, likely because his reckless trade war is triggering global panic
and even giving some of his MAGA loyalists pause
.
“Negotiations with other countries, which have also requested meetings, will begin taking place immediately,” he wrote.
At least 50 countries have already requested
negotiations with the Trump administration, hoping to avoid getting further embroiled in economic crossfire. But whether those talks will be productive is another question. The administration has already made clear that it’s not playing fair. Even countries offering to eliminate
their tariffs may still get punished.
“Let’s take Vietnam. When they come to us and say ‘we’ll go to zero tariffs,’ that means nothing to us because it’s the nontariff cheating that matters,” White House trade adviser Peter Navarro told CNBC
on Monday.
But Navarro later tried to walk back his statement, saying that zero tariffs is a “small first start.”
Still, Trump doesn’t seem to care. His plan to impose even more tariffs on countries that lower theirs is the same old game he always plays: All chaos, all of the time.
WASHINGTON (AP) — El lanzador zurdo de los Dodgers de Los Ángeles, Blake Snell, espera estar fuera durante dos semanas mientras se recupera de una inflamación en el hombro.
Snell, quien acordó un contrato de cinco años y 182 millones de dólares con Los Ángeles en noviembre, dijo que el problema en el hombro ha estado persistiendo durante tres semanas.
El dos veces ganador del premio Cy Young se sometió a una resonancia magnética que no mostró problemas, y fue colocado en la lista de lesionados de 10 días el domingo.
“Pensé que podría lanzar a pesar de ello. Pero cuando llegué a Filadelfia, empecé a soltar el brazo, a atrapar, intenté lanzarlo. Simplemente no pude. Es inflamación. Espero que sean un par de semanas y esté de vuelta y listo para salir”.
Los Dodgers, campeones de la Serie Mundial, abrieron una serie de tres juegos en Washington el lunes por la noche. El manager Dave Roberts comentó que el zurdo Justin Wrobleski está en fila para ocupar el lugar de Snell en la rotación y lanzará el martes por la noche.
“Poner a Blake en la lista de lesionados ciertamente no es lo ideal. Aún me siento muy bien acerca de nuestra profundidad en el pitcheo. Solo espero que sea algo muy benigno y que no tengamos que esperar mucho para recuperarlo”, manifestó Roberts.
El zurdo de los Dodgers, Clayton Kershaw, tuvo una sesión de bullpen el lunes mientras se recupera de una lesión en el dedo del pie izquierdo. El tres veces ganador del premio Cy Young no ha lanzado en un juego de Grandes Ligas desde el 30 de agosto.
Con Freddie Freeman fuera de juego por una lesión en el tobillo, Kershaw habló en nombre del equipo cuando el presidente Donald Trump celebró el título de 2024 de la franquicia en la Casa Blanca el lunes.
“Siempre es un honor. Nunca quiero decir no a ese tipo de oportunidades. No haber tenido mucho que ver con la carrera de octubre fue un poco incómodo, pero al mismo tiempo, que alguien desde afuera que no jugó pueda resaltar algunas de las cosas que este grupo hizo fue realmente genial”, señaló Kershaw.
Kershaw, de 37 años, piensa que enfrentará a bateadores el jueves en Arizona, manteniéndose en el cronograma que ha estado usando durante dos semanas.
“Es un tipo de aguja extraña de enhebrar porque físicamente mi brazo está listo para ir. Estoy listo. Pero mi dedo del pie aún no está completamente allí. Así que, cuando mi dedo del pie finalmente sea lo suficientemente fuerte para estar allí, quiero estar listo”, afirmó Kershaw.

Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts granted
a stay Monday pausing a lower court order that gave the Trump administration until 12 AM Tuesday to return a wrongly deported father of three from a maximum security prison in El Salvador to the U.S.
The administrative stay issued by Roberts gives the highest court extra time to issue a final ruling, which is expected in the next few days. Facing the original midnight deadline, the Trump administration on Monday filed a motion
arguing that the order to return Garcia was an “unprecedented” overstepping of authority by U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis.
Trump administration officials admitted
that Kilmar Abrego Garcia, an El Salvador native and Maryland resident who is married to a U.S. citizen and holds a work permit issued by the Department of Homeland Security, should not have been deported, calling it an “administrative error.” Garcia was among 238 men who were swept up
, denied due process, and illegally flown to El Salvador
on March 15. They were accused of being Venezuelan gang members and have since been imprisoned in CECOT, a notorious mega-prison
that squeezes 65 to 70 inmates in each cell and doesn’t allow them outdoors. The U.S. is paying El Salvador $6 million to house the migrants.
“This order—and its demand to accomplish sensitive foreign negotiations post-haste, and effectuate Abrego Garcia’s return tonight—is unprecedented and indefensible,” recently confirmed Solicitor General John Sauer wrote in the filing, arguing that the order was far too difficult a lift to accomplish in such a short time.
Given that shameless media influencer
and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem conducted a grotesque and inhumane photo shoot
inside the Salvadoran prison in late March, the idea that the Trump administration can’t manage to get one wrongfully deported person back on a plane would be comical—if not for the fact that a man’s life is at stake.
Trump’s appeal to the Supreme Court came after his administration failed to get a lower appeals court to vacate the original order. Judges on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in Richmond, Virginia, excoriated the unconstitutional deportation in a scathing opinion
,
“The United States Government has no legal authority to snatch a person who is lawfully present in the United States off the street and remove him from the country without due process,” the judges wrote. “The Government’s contention otherwise, and its argument that the federal courts are powerless to intervene, are unconscionable”
On Sunday, “60 Minutes
” reported that they could not find any public criminal records, in the United States or abroad, for 75% of the immigrants illegally sent to the Salvadoran prison.
According to the segment, reporters were only able to locate “records” for 22% of the 179 imprisoned men whose names were released by the Trump administration. Of those, only 6% had any form of violent felony charges on their records.
Friends and loved ones have risked their own safety to come out in defense of many of the men they say have been wrongfully targeted by the Trump administration’s bigoted xenophobia.
That includes Andry Hernandez Romero
, a gay makeup artist who came to the United States in 2024. Friend Lindsay Toczylowski told CBS News that Romero was seeking asylum because he feared for his life as a gay man in conservative Venezuela.
“It’s horrifying to see someone who we’ve met and know as a sweet, funny artist in the most horrible conditions I could imagine,” Toczylowski added.
Hernandez Romero, according to reports
, fell prey to the Trump administration’s shaky claims that the people they deported are affiliated with illegal “gang” activity as proven by tattoos and clothing deemed suspicious by U.S. officials. Hernandez Romero’s lawyers say that their client has tattoos of crowns with the words “Mom” and “Dad”
next to them.
Family members of Mervin Jose Yamarte Fernandez recognized him in a propaganda video showing the detained men being transported to the military flight headed to El Salvador. His sister, Jare, told the Miami Herald
that her brother has no gang ties and zero tattoos.
The clock is ticking for the Supreme Court to make the right decision and free Abrego Garcia, Hernandez Romero, Yamarte Fernandez, and scores of others. With lives at risk and the integrity of due process itself on the line, the stakes couldn’t be higher.
