Maryland lawmakers ask voters to clear the way for a congressional map designed to boost Democrats
SUMMARY: Maryland voters will decide in November whether to clear the way for a new congressional map that would favor Democrats in all eight of the state’s U.S. House districts. If voters approve the constitutional amendment that lawmakers voted Tuesday to put on the ballot, a redrawn map could kick in for 2028. Democrats now hold seven of the House seats. Maryland is moving more slowly than the 10 states that have passed new district boundaries for this year’s elections. States usually make new maps only after new Census counts are released early each decade.

Empty pews and fear of ICE on Maryland’s Eastern Shore after TPS ends for Haitians
SUMMARY: The Word of Life Center, a church in Salisbury, Maryland, is facing difficult times. Many members of the Haitian community are staying home, fearing arrest and deportation after the Trump administration ended Temporary Protected Status for over a million people, including 350,000 Haitians. Pastor Roosevelt Toussaint has urged compassion from President Donald Trump, highlighting the community’s contributions to the economy. The TPS termination has left many in limbo, facing tough choices between staying in the U.S. or returning to a dangerous Haiti. The situation has sparked fear and anxiety, with many afraid to leave their homes.

Salvadoran man complained of access to medication before death at NJ immigration jail, family says
SUMMARY: Federal officials say a man from El Salvador has died at a New Jersey immigration jail. The jail has been targeted for months by protesters over living conditions for people detained there.

How ICE and a data center turned a small Pittsburgh suburb into a civic battleground
SUMMARY: Springdale is a small town near Pittsburgh that is facing tensions over immigration enforcement and a new data center. Undocumented immigrant Jose Acosta was detained by ICE and local police, sparking protests and activism. The town's collaboration with ICE has led to several arrests, raising concerns about transparency and jurisdiction. Meanwhile, plans for a data center have divided residents. Some worry about noise and environmental impact, while others see economic benefits. Community groups have formed to oppose both the data center and ICE collaboration, and they have complained about a lack of accountability from local governance. The town's challenges reflect broader national issues.

Ravens reach contract extension with 2-time Pro Bowl receiver Zay Flowers
SUMMARY: A person with knowledge of the deal says the Baltimore Ravens have agreed to a four-year, $140 million contract extension with two-time Pro Bowl receiver Zay Flowers. The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity because the terms hadn’t been announced. The agreement includes $108 million guaranteed. It's a sizable commitment to Flowers, who is coming off a season in which he caught 86 passes for 1,211 yards and five touchdowns. Baltimore drafted him in the first round in 2023, and the shifty 5-foot-9 receiver immediately became a factor with his quickness. He’s now posted back-to-back 1,000-yard seasons.

Trading Rutschman could help the Orioles, but it's a sign of how badly their plans went awry
SUMMARY: Trading Adley Rutschman may work out for the Baltimore Orioles in the long run, but it still signaled just how badly the franchise's plans have gone awry. They acquired three of Boston’s top five prospects, according to MLB.com. Fans generally understand the logic of dealing a player who might become a free agent in the next year or two. But what makes this trade harder to stomach is the year and a half of failure that led up to it. Seven years after drafting Rutschman with the top overall pick, the Orioles have one division title and one wild card to show for it. They're in danger of finishing under .500 for a second straight season.

Preakness date for 2027 to be revealed by Maryland Gov. Wes Moore on Wednesday
SUMMARY: The date of the 2027 Preakness Stakes is set to be revealed on Wednesday by Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and the Maryland Jockey Club. There has been speculation about the Preakness moving from two to three weeks after the Kentucky Derby to get more horses from the Triple Crown opener to run in the second leg. But the Belmont Stakes staying on the first Saturday in June for next year could extend the troubles of the condensed calendar. The Preakness in 2027 is set to return to its traditional home at Pimlico Race Course in Baltimore.

Orioles and reliever Yennier Cano agree to $7.5 million contract for 2027-28
SUMMARY: Relief pitcher Yennier Cano and the Baltimore Orioles have agreed to a $7.5 million, two-year contract for the 2027 and 2028 seasons, a deal that includes a $10 million club option for 2029. Cano agreed in January to a $1.6 million, one-year contract and the new deal calls for salaries of $2.75 million next year and $4.75 million in 2028, which would have been his last season of arbitration eligibility under the current collective bargaining agreement. Baltimore has a $10 million club option for 2029 that can escalate by an additional $3 million based on games finished in 2028.

Adley Rutschman 'trying to fit in' with Red Sox while working his way back from injury
SUMMARY: Adley Rutschman was still adjusting less than 24 hours after being traded for the first time in his career. Being in playoff contention may make for a smoother transition once the three-time All-Star catcher is ready to take the field for the Red Sox after spending his first four-plus seasons with the Baltimore Orioles. Rutschman said Tuesday that Boston has a “great atmosphere” and he's excited to play at Fenway Park. He says he'll try to fit in with the Red Sox and do what he can to help them win. He's currently on the injured list with left wrist inflammation.

Nationals All-Star outfielder James Wood placed on 10-day injured list with left oblique strain
SUMMARY: Washington Nationals All-Star outfielder James Wood has been placed on the 10-day injured list with a left oblique strain. Wood was injured while batting on Monday against the Philadelphia Phillies. An MRI on Tuesday showed a mild strain.

He is batting .265 with 30 homers and 73 RBIs. He had played in all 114 games for Washington before Tuesday.

Preakness shifting back to three weeks and a day after the Kentucky Derby, to be run on a Sunday
SUMMARY: The Preakness Stakes is moving to three weeks and a day after the Kentucky Derby to be run on a Sunday for the first time. No Triple Crown race has ever been run on a Sunday in the history of the series. The shift marks a major change on the horse racing calendar after three-quarters of a century of the Preakness taking place two weeks to the day after the Derby is run on the first Saturday in May, with the lone exception of 2020 because of the pandemic. For at least one year, it will mean just a 13-day gap between the Preakness and Belmont Stakes.

Giants' Abdul Carter sets the goal of being the NFL Defensive Player of the Year
SUMMARY: Abdul Carter is setting a lofty goal for himself. He wants to be the NFL's Defensive Player of the Year, and he thinks he can do it in his second season with the New York Giants. Carter has come a long way from being the third pick in the 2025 draft, asking Hall of Famer Lawrence Taylor to wear his No. 56 and even a rough start as a rookie that included multiple public punishments. Carter has since evolved on and off the field and early at training camp has been a disruptive force and one of the best players on defense.

LIV Golf has lead investor and planning ahead for another season
SUMMARY: LIV Golf says it has a lead investor that will allow the league to plan ahead for 2027 and beyond. The rival league has been in survival mode since March when the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia announced it would no longer pay for LIV after 2026.

But he says the new league would have players as majority equity holders.

Eagles running back Saquon Barkley was inspired by Barry Sanders serving his teammates
SUMMARY: Saquon Barkley saw a clip of Barry Sanders on NFL Films when he was a kid that left a lasting impression. It wasn’t Sanders juking half the defense on one of his dynamic touchdown runs. Instead, the Hall of Fame running back who inspired a generation of running backs with his sensational, elusive, shifty style was walking up and down the sideline handing out refreshments to his teammates. Barkley joined Sanders as one of nine players to rush for 2,000 yards in a season in 2024 when he was the AP NFL Offensive Player of the Year and helped the Philadelphia Eagles win the Super Bowl.
