Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 17:20:40 GMT

But after undergoing an MRI Thursday morning, Yastrzemski said he believed he avoided the worst-case scenario and will likely avoid the injured list.Yastrzemski left the game with tightness in his left hamstring, the same one that sidelined him for the first two weeks of May, but scans revealed only some inflammation and swelling, not enough to even earn a Grade 1 designation.

Jamie Foxx promised his friend Cameron Diaz a triumphant return to movies by convincing her to co-star with him in his Netflix action-comedy “Back in Action.” Instead the project was plagued with production problems and ultimately plunged into uncertainty when filming was halted in April after Foxx was hospitalized for a mysterious “medical complication,” from which he’s reportedly still recovering.Diaz is dealing with that uncertainty herself, as well as “guilt” over how these reported production problems led to her to quarrel with Foxx on the set, a close friend of the 50-year-old actor told the Daily Mail.
