Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:49:37 GMT

Riley Pint’s long journey to the majors is finally reaching its destination.The Rockies are calling up the right-hander ahead of Sunday’s series finale against Philadelphia, according to major-league sources. Pint, the team’s first-round pick at No. 4 overall in 2016, has a 5.49 ERA over seven seasons in the minors.Pint, drafted out of St. Thomas Aquinas High School in Overland Park, Kansas, was regarded as one of the top prep pitchers in the 2016 draft. But he never lived up to expectations as a starter in the Rockies’ system, struggling immensely with command, and didn’t play above the Class-A levels before retiring following the 2019 season.He came back out of retirement in 2021 and the Rockies converted him to a reliever. He’s risen through the upper minors over the past couple seasons, and the Rockies added him to the 40-man roster in November. This year, Pint has a 7.94 ERA in 13 appearances out of the bullpen for Triple-A Albuquerque.This s...

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:49:37 GMT

EL PASO, Texas (AP) — The U.S.-Mexico border was relatively calm as the U.S. ended its pandemic-era immigration restrictions and migrants adapted to new asylum rules and legal pathways meant to discourage illegal crossings.A full day after the rules known as Title 42 were lifted, migrants and government officials on Friday were still assessing the effects of new regulations adopted by President Joe Biden’s administration in hope of stabilizing the Southwest border region and undercutting smugglers who charge migrants to get there.Migrants are now essentially barred from seeking asylum in the U.S. if they did not first apply online or seek protection in the countries they traveled through. Families allowed in as their immigration cases progress will face curfews and GPS monitoring. Those expelled can now be barred from reentry for five years and face possible criminal prosecution.Across the river from El Paso, Texas, in Ciudad Juárez, Mexico, many migrants watched their cellphones in...
