WASHINGTON — The Republicans who lead three key House committees are joining forces to probe the Justice Department’s handling of charges against Hunter Biden after making sweeping claims about misconduct at the agency.Leaders of the House Judiciary, Oversight and Accountability, and Ways and Means committees opened a joint investigation into the federal case into President Joe Biden’s youngest son days after it was announced last month that he will plead guilty to the misdemeanor tax offenses as part of an agreement with the Justice Department.Reps.

Mets Notebook: Alvarez’s workload will remain heavy as bat stays hot

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 09:09:31 GMT

SAN DIEGO — To say that Francisco Alvarez has earned more playing time would be an understatement. The Mets’ rookie backstop long ago earned the trust of the pitching staff and he’s had one of the most valuable bats throughout the team’s winning week, coming into Sunday having hit .423 with a 1.464 OPS over his last seven games.He’s faced a heavy workload this recently, having started 21 of the Mets’ last 24 games since June 9. The Mets had previously planned to split time somewhat evenly between Omar Narvaez and Alvarez, but Alvarez has been too good to sit. However, the team is still cautious when it comes to overloading a 21-year-old that plays a taxing position.But with the All-Star break coming Monday, the Mets decided to give Alvarez one more start Sunday against the San Diego Padres.“We obviously wouldn’t be doing it if we didn’t have four days off,” manager Buck Showalter said Sunday before the Mets played their fin...
