Yankees manager takes leave
New York Yankees manager Aaron Boone is taking a leave of absence from the team to get a pacemaker and intends to return to work in a few days.
New York said the procedure was likely to be performed later Wednesday at St. Joseph’s Hospital in Tampa, Florida.
Boone said in a statement the medical team is “confident that today’s surgery will allow me to resume all of my usual professional and personal activities and afford me a positive long-term health prognosis without having to change anything about my way of life. I look forward to getting back to work in the next several days.”
The 47-year-old is entering his fourth season as Yankees manager.
The team started the exhibition season Sunday and was scheduled to play its fourth game on Wednesday night against Toronto in Tampa.
Detectives are looking at data from the so-called “black box” of Tiger Woods’ SUV to get a clearer picture of what occurred during the Southern California rollover crash last week that seriously injured the golf star, authorities said Wednesday.
The Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department said traffic investigators executed a search warrant Monday to retrieve the data from the device from the Genesis SUV that Woods was driving.
There was no information regarding what was found in the black box, Deputy Trina Schrader said in a statement. McKaela Schmelzer picked the right time for a breakout performance.
The senior guard scored a career-high 24 points and went 6 for 6 from the free-throw line in the final 54 seconds to help lead UW-Milwaukee’s women’s basketball team to a 77-68 victory over Youngstown State in a Horizon League tournament quarterfinals game at the Klotsche Center on Tuesday night.
Schmelzer hit 7 of 9 shots overall, 3 of 4 threepointers and all seven of her free-throw attempts in 32 minutes as second-seeded UWM (19-6) advanced to a semifinals matchup with fifth-seeded IUPUI that will be played at 1 p.m. Monday at Indiana Farmers Coliseum in Indianapolis.
Bre Cera added 13 points and Brandi Bisping had 10 points and eight rebounds.
