TORONTO — No place served as the Yankees’ personal house of horrors this season quite like Rogers Centre. A large part of that is because of their infield defense essentially falling apart once it stepped foot on Canadian soil — er, turf. But coming off a wild-card series in which Yankees infielders consistently delivered high-level defense, that will only take on more significance, looming large over their hopes of knocking off the Blue Jays in the ALDS beginning on Saturday at Rogers Centre. The Yankees went 1-6 here during the regular season, making 11 errors in seven games — 11.7…

A rift between Hamas’ political leadership and its armed wing in Gaza could complicate the execution of President Trump’s peace plan that would end the ongoing war with Israel, according to a report. The Palestinian terrorist organization’s diplomatic arm released a statement on Friday saying that it tentatively agreed to free Israeli hostages in accordance with Trump’s plan to end the war in Gaza — though it sought further talks on key sticking points. But wide swaths of the faction remain opposed to two key demands in the Trump peace plan — disarmament and the release of nearly 50 Israeli…

And while social media has made attachment language popular,…

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem blasted Illinois officials Friday after she and her staff were “blocked” from entering a Chicago-area government building while visiting an ICE facility engulfed in weeks of fiery protests. Noem, 53, shared a video on social media of her team being denied entry to the Village of Broadview Municipal Building, about 12 miles west of downtown Chicago, after requesting to use the bathroom — and slammed Gov. JB Pritzker for empowering his state to snub federal agents. “We were stopping for a quick bathroom break,” the DHS chief wrote on X. Kristi Noem said she was…

The Israeli government late Friday responded to Hamas’s tentative agreement to President Trump’s Gaza peace plan by saying it is making “preparations for the immediate implementation of the first phase” involving the release of hostages. The office of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu released a statement to Israeli media outlets pledging to work with Trump — though it did not include a commitment to cease military action in Gaza, which the US president demanded in a statement on Friday. “In light of the Hamas response [to the Trump peace plan], Israel is making preparations for the immediate implementation of the first…

Wan’Dale Robinson couldn’t help it. All the nightmare memories completely washed over him as he watched Malik Nabers go down against the Chargers on Sunday. The moment brought him immediately back to 2022, when he suffered a season-ending ACL tear in his right knee as a rookie on Nov. 20 during a Week 11 matchup with the Lions. Nabers appeared to have buckled his knee as he jumped for a pass down the visitors sideline during the second quarter. He fell down on the field and immediately reached for his knee.
