MON SIX

As we get into the teeth of the May schedule, take a look at formerMilwaukee Brewerscurrently active on big-league rosters around Major League Baseball.

Trent Grisham, New York Yankees

After a breakout 2025 season with the Yankees, the 2019 Brewer took a qualifying offer this offseason, and he's struggled with a .680 OPS (on-base plus slugging). He'll be in Milwaukee this weekend. The center fielder has just a .182 batting average and .308 on-base percentage, with five homers after belting 34 last year.

Willy Adames,San Francisco Giants

It's been a struggle for the beloved former Brewer, with a .194 batting average and .565 OPS. He has three homers and has struggled defensively. Former Brewers backup catcher Eric Haase is also with the Giants and has two doubles among his three hits in 10 at-bats.

Freddy Peralta, New York Mets

The former Brewers ace was dealt to New York in the offseason, and the Mets can't complain about the early returns. Peralta has a 3.12 earned run average in eight starts with 43 strikeouts in as many innings.

Adrian Houser, San Francisco Giants

Houser signed in the offseason with San Francisco, but it hasn't gone well, with a 6.19 ERA in seven starts and a WHIP (walks and hits per inning pitched) in excess of 1.5. He has only 19 strikeouts in 36 innings.

José Quintana, Colorado Rockies

Quintana has fared much better than you might think for the 37-year-old who's agreed to pitch in Coors Field. He has a 3.90 ERA in six starts, with 14 strikeouts in 30 innings. He had a 3.96 ERA for the Brewers last year.

Aaron Civale, Athletics

Civale, traded to the White Sox last year in the deal that netted Andrew Vaughn, also pitched for the Cubs last year before signing with the Athletics. And he's been strong, with a 2.95 ERA in seven starts covering 37 innings.

Jason Junk,Miami Marlins

Briefly a Brewer, Junk has an excellent 2.82 ERA in seven starts, ranking him among the top 25 in baseball among qualified starters. He has a 1.04 WHIP in 38 innings.

Drew Rasmussen, Tampa Bay Rays

Once traded for Adames in 2021, Rasmussen is a steady presence for the Rays, with a 2.95 ERA in seven starts and 37 strikeouts in 37 innings, plus a sterling WHIP of 0.93. Could he be in line for a second all-star appearance?

Colin Rea,Chicago Cubs

In his second year with Chicago, Rea has continued to be solid, with a 4.03 ERA and 4-1 record in eight games (five starts), plus 35 strikeouts in 38 innings.

Caleb Durbin,Boston Red Sox

Durbin's well-documented slow start has gotten a little better, but he's still at a .526 OPS with just one homer and four stolen bases. He does have a 0.6 Wins Above Replacement though, helped by his play as the team's starting third baseman.

Andruw Monasterio, Boston Red Sox

The infielder has played in 19 games with a home run, stolen base and .629 OPS.

Isaac Collins,Kansas City Royals

The outfielder has turned a corner after a slow start, now up to a .747 OPS with three homers, 12 RBIs and two stolen bases. He was acquired in the offseason in the deal that sent Ángel Zerpa to Milwaukee.

Nick Mears, Kansas City Royals

The reliever, dealt in the offseason in the Zerpa trade, has a 1.98 ERA in 14 innings with 10 strikeouts. Former Brewers minor leaguer Lucas Erceg has a 3.52 ERA as the Royals closer, with a league-leading 10 saves.

Devin Williams, New York Mets

As the Mets have struggled, Williams has been under the microscope, with a 6.17 ERA and five saves in nearly 12 innings. In the small sample, he has a WHIP of 1.8.

Tobias Myers, New York Mets

Traded to New York in the offseason deal for Peralta, he has a 3.57 ERA in 11 games (one start), with a cool 1.06 WHIP.

Tyrone Taylor, New York Mets

The 32-year-old outfielder has played in 29 games but is struggling with a .532 OPS despite two homers and 10 RBIs.

Bryan Hudson, Chicago White Sox

Guess who's back? The lanky left-hander has been superb in the White Sox pen with a 1.06 ERA in 17 innings, 20 strikeouts and eight walks. He hasn't allowed a homer and has one save.

Rhys Hoskins, Cleveland Guardians

After playing for the Brewers the last two years, he has a .719 OPS for the Guardians with six doubles and three homers as the team's primary designated hitter. Former Brewers minor leaguer David Fry is back to being productive in a utility role with an .832 OPS.

Brent Suter, Los Angeles Angels

He has a 4.22 ERA in 14 games for the Angels, collecting 20 strikeouts in 21 innings of work. Former Brewers reliever Drew Pomeranz has been less successful with the Angels, posting a 7.71 ERA in 14 innings.

Eric Lauer, Toronto Blue Jays

After appearing in last year's World Series, he's struggled out of the gate this season with a 6.03 ERA in seven games (six starts) and 31 innings.

Danny Jansen,Texas Rangers

The Wisconsin native who played for the Brewers in the second half last year has a .647 OPS as the Rangers catcher with two homers and eight RBIs.

Tyler Alexander, Texas Rangers

It's been a great showing for the 2025 Brewers pitcher, with a 2.60 ERA over 17 relief outings despite a WHIP in excess of 1.5.

Jakob Junis, Texas Rangers

He's been steady as a rock out of the bullpen with a 1.76 ERA in 15 innings despite just six strikeouts (only four walks). Junis started the Brewers' home opener two years ago.

Joey Wiemer, Washington Nationals

After a white-hot start to the season, Wiemer has come back to earth only slightly, still sporting a .946 OPS in 66 plate appearances with three homers.

Trevor Richards, Chicago White Sox

Part of the package that came to the Brewers in the Adames deal, and then part of the package to acquire Rowdy Tellez, Richards posted a 1.93 ERA in nine relief appearances at Lehigh for the Phillies, with 26 strikeouts in 14 innings and just three walks, and he's now been acquired by the White Sox.

Other former Brewers around Major League Baseball

• Hoby Milner, Chicago Cubs: The left-handed reliever has a 2.55 ERA in 18 innings.

• Esteury Ruiz, Miami Marlins: The prospect traded to land WIlliam Contreras is back in the big leagues with two home runs and three stolen bases in 10 games.

Someplantsare better than others when you're planting your garden.

In fact, more than 100 invasive plants are prohibited inMassachusettsby theDepartment of Agricultural Resources(DAR) for their tendency to take over and harm the surrounding environment. Despite the fact they're banned, if you're not careful at the garden center or online shopping, they might still make their way into your cart.

"We do sometimes see (plants) for sale online and other places, but they are not allowed to be sold or imported into Massachusetts," said Jennifer Forman Orth, an environmental biologist with DAR. "They may be allowed in other states."

There are the top five plants Forman Orth saidgardenersshould be careful to avoid in Massachusetts:

Burning bush (Euonymus alata)

While its crimson leaves may be pleasing to the eye, the burning bush (Euonymus alatus) has been prohibited in Massachusetts, as well as in other states like New Hampshire, for a reason.

Mass Audubonsaid the shrub can grow up to 10 feet tall and its proverbial wingspan (the spread of its branches and leaves, which also lend it the name of "Winged Euonymus") can cause multiple problems ecologically.

"It invades fields, field edges, and forests, and displaces native plants," Mass Audubon said. "Birds eat the fruit and disperse the seeds of winged euonymus."

Creeping jenny (Lysimachia nummularia)

Creepy jenny (Lysimachia nummularia) is kind of the opposite of the burning bush. Instead of growing tall, it slinks low and tends to cover whatever ground it can grab onto. It can look nice hanging off planters; however, the creepy jenny isn't called that for no reason.

A Massachusetts Natural Resources Collaborations blogabout pests said that the creepy jenny is an especially effective invader of natural wetland ecosystems, if given the chance.

"It is known to escape from cultivation into forested floodplains and other wetlands, where it often forms dense mats. It is also a prolific producer of seeds," the blog said. "For these reasons, creeping Jenny has been prohibited from sale in Massachusetts since 2009, after a review by the Mass. Invasive Plant Advisory Group (MIPAG)."

Japanese barberry (Berberis thunbergii)

Another invasive shrub, the Japanese barberry (Berberis thunbergii) may look harmless at first, but it has been called invasive in over half the country, according to theNational Park Service.

"Dense thickets of barberry are virtual tick-borne disease incubation centers. They provide ideal habitat for both black-legged ticks, and a primary host for Lyme disease, white-footed mice," the park service said. "Thickly growing barberry shrubs keep light levels low and humidity high."

The Japanese barberry can also reduce available food sources for birds and other creatures, propagate invasive earthworms in the Northeast, and throws the balance of these delicate ecosystems into chaos, the park service said.

Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica)

The Japanese honeysuckle (Lonicera japonica) has an appealing name that hides the more sinister effects this invasive vine can have.

"It invades fields, field edges, and, to a lesser degree, forests, and out competes or strangles and smothers native vegetation," Mass Audubon said. "Birds and other wildlife are attracted to the fruit and spread the seeds."

It's very commonly found in southeastern Massachusetts, according to the Bay State nonprofit group.

"Note that there are some other honeysuckle vines that are sometimes called “Japanese honeysuckle” that are not on the invasive list and can be sold," Foreman Orth said. "It is always a good idea to check the scientific name before making a purchase."

Scotch broom (Cytisus scoparius)

This many-branched shrub can grow up to 12 feet tall and was found to be most pervasive on Cape Cod and was banned in January of 2025.

"This is a recent addition to the Massachusetts Prohibited Plant List due to its ability to invade coastal and other sandy habitats," Foreman Orth said.

In a city known for political circuses, the HouseCommittee on Oversightand Accountability has at times been all three rings packed into one Capital Hill hearing room.

The panel's Democrats will be in town May 12 for a field hearing on a serious issue: the sexual abuse and trafficking of teenage girls by the lateJeffrey Epstein. The Palm Beach financier is said to have managed a network of as many as 1,000 adolescent girls that he either abused or handed to some of the most powerful men in the world for them to exploit.

The gravity of the Epstein case has resonated with the American public. Voter surveys last fall and into early 2026 showed broad swaths of the public solidly supported transparency on the issue, prompting near unanimous votes inCongressbehind legislation requiring the release of the government's Epstein investigatory files.

The matter has largely been handled by the House Oversight Committee, a panel charged with supervising federal government compliance with its own laws and regulations.

The seriousness of the task, let alone the gravity of the Epstein issue, is in contrast to some of the drama, antics and theatrics that have either occasionally been aired in or enveloped the committee's public gatherings or its individual members.

The committee has been staffed by some of the most high-profile, and attention-drawing, members of Congress, including Republicans Jim Jordan, Nancy Mace, Lauren Boebert and Floridians Byron Donalds and Anna Paulina Luna plus Democrats Rashida Tlaib, Jasmine Crockett and Ayanna Pressley.

Just this decade alone, there have been face masks and calling of bluffs. Personal disputes about eyelashes and appearances have made their way into debates, too, as have poster boards with scandalous photos of the son of the then-sitting president.

Here are five things to know about past drama at the committee itself, and between its members.

The salacious Hunter Biden photos

In June 2023, the Oversight committee was zeroed in on the "Biden crime family" probe.

That's when former U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, brought to a hearing small posters featuring graphic sexual photos from a laptop hard drive she and the committee's Republicans said belonged to Hunter Biden, the then-president's son and a focus target of the committee's corruption probe.

MTG-Jasmine Crockett and the 'eyelash' debate

A May 2024 hearing turned sharply personal when Greene mocked U.S. Rep. Jasmine Crockett, a Texas Democrat.

Greene, often referred to by her initials, MTG, said of Crockett that her "fake eyelashes are messing up what you're reading." Crockett fired back just as bitingly asking for a ruling on whether the committee's protocols would consider referring to Greene having a "bleach blonde, bad-built, butch body" inappropriate.

A Palm Beach County area congressman and a Putin mask

He is no longer on the panel, but Democratic U.S. Rep. Jared Moskowitz went viral more than once while he served on the Oversight committee. Moskowitz repeatedly trolled the committee's GOP majority, and its chairman, Kentucky's Jim Comer and the two once sparred about which of them resembled a Smurfs character.

Ahead of a March 2024 hearing, Moskowitz walked through the hallways wearing a rubber mask of Russian leader Vladimir Putin. The hearing, also about the alleged Biden family corruption, was reviewing information derived from Russian intelligence.

Moskowitz also called Comer and Republicans bluff on their cable news interview vows to impeach Biden by saying he would personally move the motion to impeach.

"Go ahead," he said to dead silence. "It's your turn. You second it."

Contentious relationship break-up blows up in House speech

It was not in an Oversight committee proceeding, but it was one of its members, U.S. Rep. Nancy Mace of South Carolina.

In a House floor speech, Mace aired the ugly details of a break-up with her ex-fiancé, and accused the man of being a "predator" and serial sexual abuser. Mace then followed by introducing legislation against nonconsensual video voyeurism.

The speech led to law enforcement investigations of the former fiancé, who himself filed for a restraining order against Mace while also filing a lawsuit against the congresswoman.

Trump on Rushmore?

Republican Anna Paulina Luna, who represents a Tampa Bay area district, has been one of the more vocal members of Congress calling for disclosure and accountability for sexual misconduct by members of Congress. In January 2025, she drew attention for proposing legislation to add President Donald Trump to Mount Rushmore.

The measure was derided as an engineering and structural impossibility, and has been further ridiculed as Trump's approval ratings have plummeted nationally. In an email to The Palm Beach Post earlier this year, Luna defended her bill.

“President Trump is worthy of being honored on Rushmore because his presidency was uniquely transformative in modern American history and he will go down in history as one of the greatest presidents of our life time," she wrote.

Flaunting everything from blinged-out Detroit jackets and buffs to 313 chains and hats,Detroit Pistonsfans entered Little Caesars Arena with confidenceahead of Game 2 of the Eastern Conference semifinalsagainst the Cleveland Cavaliers on Thursday, May 7.

Pistons fans aren’t known for wearing free T-shirt handouts. They put fashion at the forefront when supporting their team, whether it's customizing a thrifted jacket, sporting a lucky bright blue wig or sparkling in their chains.

“We show up and show out,” said Detroiter Nick Bondarek, 53, who wore a custom No. 72 jersey with “Superfly” on the back. “T-shirts are for washing cars, you know what I mean? I have a $200 jersey. I’m not going to cover it up with a free T-shirt.”

Bondarek and his fiancé, Shay Magnes, 45, wore hats and Detroit chains. Magnes wore a blue jersey and pink skirt and hat, saying her outfit was inspired by shoes worn by Pistons center Jalen Duren.

“We want represent our own style, and it is a fashion show,” she said.

Hawa Hoff, 51, of Detroit, sported “the dopest jacket in the city” made by G. Harris on Facebook. The jacket featured former players from the "Bad Boys" era, including Isiah Thomas, Dennis Rodman and John Salley.

Florida A&M football’s NCAA postseason banhas consequences that will extend beyond 2026.

The Rattlers will not be allowed to have spring football training camp due to theNCAA-imposed postseason banfor falling below the required 930 Academic Progress Rate score. A source close to the FAMU football program confirmed the spring practice restriction to the Tallahassee Democrat.

FAMU announced in April that it would face NCAA Level Two sanctions, including a postseason ban, due to its APR scores falling below the threshold.

On Tuesday, May 5, the NCAA released APR scores.FAMU had a 918 during the 2024-2025 athletic year, falling 12 points short of the 930.

However, it was animprovement from the Rattlers’ 901during 2023-2024.

The last time FAMU scored over a 930 was in 2018-2019, earning a 931. Since APR was introduced in 2004-2005, the program has only surpassed 930 twice, alongside the 2008-2009 athletic and academic year.

Not having spring football in 2027 could hinder the Rattlers.

It would givenewly hired head coach Quinn Fordham Gray Sr.an initial evaluation of his second-year Rattlers team after completing his first season this fall.

The NCAA allows its teams to have 15 spring practices. FAMU typically uses its final spring camp day to showcase the team to Rattler fans at theOrange and Green Game.

STERLING, Va. (AP) — Lucas Herbert had seven birdies to go along with an eagle, leading to an 8-under 64 at Trump National and a two-shot lead in LIV Golf Virginia on Thursday.

The 57 players were back to golf after weeks of questions about their future funding with the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia announcing the financial support stops after this year.

Marc Leishman of Australia, who lives in Virginia, shot a 66 and was tied for second along with Tyrrell Hatton, Sergio Garcia and Sebastian Munoz.

Herbert was feeling sick earlier in the week and only played nine holes on a course he had never seen. He figures that might have helped him not trying anything bold, instead listening to his caddie and trying to follow directions.

He had not seen the front nine, where he made his eagle and ran off three straight birdies.

Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau, each with two wins this year on LIV Golf, each shot 69 and were five shots behind.
