Dodgers activate Evan Phillips from IL, DFA Elieser Hernandez.

The Los Angeles Dodgers activated reliever Evan Phillips (hamstring) from the 15-day injured list before Friday's home game against the Colorado Rockies.
The team also designated right-handed reliever Elieser Hernandez for assignment

Phillips is expected to immediately step back into his role as the closer, having already compiled an ERA of 0.66 through 14 appearances (13 2/3 innings) this season, striking out 17 hitters and collecting eight saves.
A 29-year-old right-hander, Phillips emerged last season as the go-to closer, racking up 24 saves in 62 games (61 1/3 innings) with 66 strikeouts.
Hernandez was 0-1 with an 8.38 ERA in five appearances (one start) this season.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Aaron Judge capped a spectacular May by homering twice in his first game in San Francisco and the New York Yankees beat the Giants 6-2 on Friday night.
Judge grew up about 100 miles away in Linden and was heavily recruited in free agency by the Giants in December 2022, but decided to remain with the Yankees and signed a nine-year, $360 million contract.

He was greeted by boos in each at-bat Friday night, but took little time to show the Giants and their fans what they missed out on when he spurned them in free agency.

After hitting a single in the first inning, Judge launched a three-run shot to left field in the third against Jordan Hicks (4-2) and then another solo shot in the sixth to give him a major league-leading 20 homers.

  Israel has continued its assault on Rafah, ignoring a draft resolution to the UN Security Council to “stop the killing” in the city in southern Gaza. New air attacks were reported across the southernmost city on Wednesday morning, hours after witnesses and a Palestinian security source said Israeli tanks had penetrated the heart of Rafah. People are currently inside their homes because anyone who moves is being shot at by Israeli drones,” resident Abdel Khatib said. Israeli air strikes targeted various parts of the city, including the vicinity of the Badr camp and the Zourob roundabout west of the city, according to Palestinian news agency Shehab. A complete shutdown of telecommunications and internet services throughout Rafah is also reported.

Mystery about the Universe’s First Black Holes May Be Solved at Last

  As astronomers read back into the first chapters of the universe’s history, they have uncovered a horde of gigantic black holes that seem to have matured much faster than scientists thought possible. Priyamvada Natarajan is akin to a cosmic biologist. She studies the life of these precocious black holes, objects so dense that they trap all matter and light within their grasp. As an astronomy graduate student, Natarajan was among the first to treat black holes as populations rather than individual objects by studying their general taxonomy and evolution as though they were bats in a rain forest. Now an astrophysicist at Yale University, Natarajan continues to study the behavior of these animals, and she’s turned her focus to understanding how they’re born. Traditionally, black holes form in the wake of a large stellar explosion, and they grow in mass as they feast on nearby gas reservoirs. But a handful of observations of supermassive black holes in the very early universe hav...
