Kate Upton welcomes second child with husband Justin Verlander ; A loving journey into parenthood
Kate Upton and Justin Verlander Kate Upton and Justin Verlander are now officially a family of four. The supermodel and San Francisco Giants pitcher welcomed their second child, a baby boy called Bellamy Brooks Verlander, on June 19, as reported by PEOPLE . The development signals a happy new turn for the couple who have never been ones to seek out publicity where their family is concerned. Kate Upton and Justin Verlander's relationship Kate Upton and Justin Verlander's romance began in 2012, and then, they married in 2017, just days after the World Series victory of Verlander with the Houston Astros. His baseball career since then has been in Houston, the New York Mets, and now the San Francisco Giants, where he signed a contract in January 2024 for one year. Kate Upton speaks out about motherhood In several interviews, Upton has openly discussed how motherhood has changed her, particularly when it comes to having a daughter (Vivi) in today's society. In an interview with Extra TV, she described how becoming a mom makes her even more aware of the things that young girls are taught by society. "It makes you want to lead by example," she stated. Kate also disclosed that Vivi is a free spirit who enjoys dancing and living in the moment, and the qualities she insists come from her side of the family. From the red carpet to family life While the couple tends to be low-key, they did give their fans a glimpse of how their family operates when they showed up at the 2022 MLB All-Star Game red carpet by getting dressed in coordinating yellow. The appearance was special for Verlander, who said it was his most significant All-Star game appearance so far because he got to experience it with his wife and daughter. With baby Bellamy now along for the ride, it's easy to see that for this celebrity pair, family isn't a chapter in their book, but it's the title page that appears to be most important.

Detroit Tigers' Gleyber Torres leads AL second basemen in first update of All-Star voting
Detroit Tigers second baseman Gleyber Torres appears on his way to becoming a starter for the American League in the 2025 MLB All-Star Game at Truist Park in Atlanta on July 15, as he leads all AL second basemen on the first ballot update. The season's first update was released by MLB on Monday, June 17. Advertisement Torres has received 535,079 votes, ranking ahead of Baltimore Orioles' Jackson Holliday (499,093), Houston Astros' Jose Altuve (446,787) and New York Yankees' Jazz Chisholm Jr. (250,416). The 28-year-old previously made the All-Star Game in 2018 and 2019. Fans can vote for position players (but not pitchers) on The Tigers haven't had a second baseman make the All-Star Game since Ian Kinsler in 2014; a Tigers second baseman hasn't made it via fan voting since Plácido Polanco in 2007. SHAWN WINDSOR: Gleyber Torres bet on himself. Tigers are collecting the winnings Celebrate 125 seasons of the Tigers with our new book! Advertisement There are two phases of fan voting for the 2025 All-Star Game. In Phase 1, which lasts until June 26 (with fans allowed to vote online five times a day), the position player with the most overall votes automatically earns a starting spot. For the AL, that's expected to be Yankees outfielder Aaron Judge, currently at 1,568,527 votes. Additionally, the top two vote-getters at each position, plus the top six outfielders, advance to the second round of voting. In Phase 2, all vote totals reset, and fans select the remaining starters from the smaller pool of players who advanced to the second round. The winners of these vote will be announced July 2. Pitchers — including reigning AL Cy Young winner Tarik Skubal, an All-Star last season — and reserves are selected through a combination of player voting and choices made by the commissioner's office. The full All-Star rosters will be announced July 6. Advertisement PURR-FECT GAME NEWSLETTER: Tarik Skubal's 2025 MLB All-Star Game bid: Ace reaching heights not seen since 1875 In 2025, the Tigers have three players on track to advance to the second round of fan voting: Torres at second and Riley Greene and Javier Báez in the outfield. Greene, who made the team as a reserve last season, ranks in second among AL outfielders with 675,070 votes, trailing only Judge. The remaining four outfielders in position to advance to the second round: The Los Angeles Angels' Mike Trout (475,265), the Cleveland Guardians' Steven Kwan (457,882), Báez (421,342) and the Yankees' Cody Bellinger (416,858). Fellow Tigers outfielder Kerry Carpenter ranks seventh with 380,985 votes. American League left fielder Riley Greene of the Detroit Tigers makes a catch in the fifth inning during the 2024 MLB All-Star game at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, on Tuesday, July 16, 2024. THE FREEP'S ALL-STAR ODDS: Tarik Skubal is making history. So which Detroit Tigers will join him at MLB All-Star Game? Advertisement The Tigers have representation at other positions: Catcher Dillon Dingler ranks third with 316,401 votes, trailing the Seattle Mariners' Cal Raleigh (1,043,168) and Toronto Blue Jays' Alejandro Kirk (370,460); first baseman Spencer Torkelson ranks fourth with 426,283 votes, trailing the Yankees' Paul Goldschmidt (667,258), Blue Jays' Vladimir Guerrero Jr. (614,726) and Tampa Bay Rays' Jonathan Aranda (483,290). Meanwhile, Zach McKinstry (235,189) ranks fourth among third basemen, Colt Keith (166,230) is sixth among designated hitters, and Trey Sweeney is eighth among shortstops (150,787). For now, the Tigers seem likely to have at least three All-Stars: Skubal, Torres and Greene, with Báez, Dingler, Torkelson and Carpenter on the bubble. The Tigers haven't had a player selected to the All-Star Game by fans since Miguel Cabrera in 2015. Their most recent season with three All-Stars also came in 2015, when shortstop José Iglesias, outfielder J.D. Martinez and pitcher David Price joined Cabrera for the game, played in Cincinnati.

Who was Luis Guevara? Orioles minor leaguer dies at 19
The Baltimore Orioles organisation is mourning the loss of one of its youngest prospects, Luis Guevara, who passed away at the age of 19 following a jet ski accident in Sarasota, Florida. The club confirmed the devastating news on Tuesday. 'Luis was a beloved member of our organization, and we are devastated following his tragic passing,' Orioles general manager Mike Elias said in an official statement. 'Our thoughts and prayers are with his family, friends and teammates, and we ask for their continued privacy during this difficult time.' The accident occurred on Sunday off Lido Key, where two jet skis collided head-on. Guevara was involved in the crash, which led to the cancellation of Florida Complex League (FCL) games on Monday and Tuesday out of respect for his memory and in support of his teammates.
