RENTON, Wash. (AP) — For most of this offseason, Quandre Diggs has been able to usually wrap up his daily workouts before the lunch hour arrives.That’s a significant and welcomed change from a year ago when the Seattle Seahawks starting safety would spend his entire mornings doing rehab after undergoing major surgery on his ankle before getting around to his normal workout.“I literally had a month of offseason to get ready for full season so it was kind of rushed,” Diggs recalled on Tuesday after Seattle wrapped up the first day of its mandatory minicamp. “I didn’t get to do the things I normally get to do in the offseason.”What Diggs experienced a year ago has given him a renewed sense of appreciation for having an offseason that looked more normal and allowed him to get ready for his fourth full season in Seattle the way he wants. It’s also given him a little bit of understanding for what fellow safety Jamal Adams has gone through with yet another offseason filled with rehabbing f...

Published Sun, 23 Feb 2025 21:41:19 GMT

Smoke filled the air at Yankee Stadium on Tuesday, but not because the Yankees’ bats were on fire.Instead, White Sox starter Lucas Giolito kept the Bombers hitless for six innings as the two teams played beneath an unhealthy haze, the result of smoke from Canadian wildfires drifting south. The smog provided an apocalyptic-looking backdrop as Chicago claimed a 3-2 victory to begin a three-game series.The Yankees picked up their first hit of the night when Isiah Kiner-Falefa hit a catchable flyball that dropped between centerfielder Luis Robert Jr. and Andrew Benintendi. The mishap, which happened with Joe Kelly on the mound, allowed Willie Calhoun to score after he walked earlier in the inning.The Yanks finished the game with three total hits, including a solo shot from Josh Donaldson off closer Liam Hendriks in the ninth.Prior to that, Giolito stifled the Yankees’ lineup, which played without Aaron Judge for the second straight game after he injured his toe on a fence-br...

The unnerving bark of dogs left behind further soured the mood of those ferried to safety. A woman in one raft clutched the head of her despondent daughter. A stalled military truck stuck in swelling waters raised the panic level as Red Cross teams tried to manage an orderly evacuation.Nobody knew just how high the waters rushing through a gaping hole in the Kakhovka dam would rise, or whether people or pets would escape alive. The scrambled evacuation by boat and military truck from an island neighborhood off the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson downstream on Tuesday testified to the latest human chaos caused by Russia’s war in Ukraine.Ukrainian authorities accused Russian force...
