ATLANTA (AP) — The Atlanta Braves placed right-handed pitcher Yonny Chirinos on the 15-day injured list Monday with elbow inflammation.The move, made retroactive to Sunday, cleared room on the roster for right-hander Allan Winans, who was called up from Triple-A Gwinnett to start the opener of a three-game series against the New York Mets.Chirinos has struggled since he was claimed off waivers from the Tampa Bay Rays a month ago, surrendering 23 earned runs, 33 hits and five homers in 22 1/3 innings over five starts. He failed to make it past the fifth inning in any of his outings.For the season, Chirinos is 5-5 with a 5.40 ERA in 20 appearances. His last appearance was Saturday, when he allowed four runs on seven hits in four innings against the Giants.After pitching seven scoreless innings against the Mets on Aug. 12 for his first big league win, Winans is getting another chance to stake his claim to the fifth spot in the Atlanta rotation.The Braves have used 15 starting pitchers ...Imponen licencia administrativa a oficiales de Maryland por disparale a hombre que habría tenido cuchillo

Later this school year, a group of students at University of Maryland Global Campus will enter a crime scene as part of a course in criminal justice. They will be briefed beforehand by a criminal justice expert and use a “crime scene kit” to investigate evidence. In their personalized scene, they will look for bloodstains, encounter and examine a dead body, and scrutinize the scene for other clues.Welcome to the “metaversity,” the place where the metaverse and higher education intersect. Neither student nor professor will leave their home to visit the crime scene. The crime scene does not exist physically. For UMGC, founded 75 years ago specifically to meet the needs of adult learners for whom a traditional campus experience was impractical or impossible, this course is the next frontier in education. While sleuthing through the crime scene, the students will create a “spatial recording” — an interactive 3D video — that captures everything they do and say during the…Read the full st...Latest news
