An American Airlines plane was removed from service after a "puncture" was found on its exterior while in Colombia on Sunday, the company said.

The puncture was a bullet hole, a source with knowledge of the situation told NBC News.

According to a statement from American Airlines, the plane was undergoing a routine inspection in Medellín when the damage to the aircraft was found. There were no injuries or flight-related issues reported to the airline, it said.

"The aircraft was immediately removed from service for further inspection and repair," the statement said. "We will work closely with all relevant authorities to investigate this incident."

Colombia's Civil Aeronautical Authority said in statement Tuesday, translated by NBC News, that it was aware of reports of a plane found with perforations. The authority added that it was not contacted by the airline or any authorities in the United States on the matter.

"The Civil Aeronautics Authority remains attentive to any official communication from international agencies or the airline that may clarify the facts and determine the origin of the reported issues," the statement said.

Oregon Potato Company LLC voluntarily recalled nearly 60,000 pounds of frozen blueberries.

• The affected fruit was distributed in Canada and four U.S. states and may be contaminated with Listeria monocytogenes.

• The FDA's Class I designation means consuming the product could cause serious health consequences or death.

Listeria is hitting a large batch of frozenblueberries—nearly 60,000 pounds, to be exact. Oregon Potato Company LLC voluntarilyrecalled55,689 pounds of individually quick-frozenblueberriesfor possible contamination withListeria monocytogenes. The affected fruit was distributed in four states: Michigan, Oregon, Washington, and Wisconsin, as well as throughout Canada.

While theblueberrieswere produced by Oregon Potato Company LLC, the recalled fruit was packed and distributed under the Willamette Valley Fruit Company brand. The FDA's Class I recall designation is the most serious type of recall and indicates a reasonable probability that consuming the product could cause serious adverse health consequences, including death.

The recalledfruitwas packaged in 30-pound corrugated cases with polyethylene liners and 1,400-pound totes, but it was not sold directly to consumers in retail stores. The recall was initiated on February 12, but it wasn't given a Class I designation until February 24.

The affected fruit includes the following lot codes and expiration dates:

• Lot codes on 30-pound cases:

  • 2055 B2; best-by or expiration date of August 23, 2027

  • 2065 B1; best-by or expiration date of August 24, 2027

  • 2065 B3; best-by or expiration date of August 24, 2027

Former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers will resign from his remaining roles at Harvard University over histies to Jeffrey Epstein, the school confirmed to CBS News on Wednesday.

Summers will retire at the end of the academic year but will remain on leave until then, a Harvard spokesperson said in a statement.

Summers stepped back from his public commitments in November after the release of messages between him and the late convicted sex offender. He also resigned from the board of AI companyOpenAIand numerous other positions at such places as Bloomberg News, The New York Times, and the Center for American Progress.

"I have made the difficult decision to retire from my Harvard professorship at the end of this academic year," Summers said in a statement Wednesday. "I will always be grateful to the thousands of students and colleagues I have been privileged to teach and work with since coming to Harvard as a graduate student 50 years ago."

Since 2006, when Summers stepped down as Harvard's president, he held what the university described as one of its most distinguished professorial positions, theCharles W. Eliot University Professor. He was also co-director of the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government at Harvard's Kennedy School.

"Free of formal responsibility, as President Emeritus and a retired professor, I look forward in time to engaging in research, analysis, and commentary on a range of global economic issues," Summers said.

Summers was Harvard's president from 2001 to 2006 after serving as treasury secretary for then-President Bill Clinton between 1999 and 2001. He was director of the National Economic Council in the Obama administration from 2009 to 2011.

Dozens of messages between Summers and Epstein were among documents from Epstein's estate that were released by the House Oversight Committee in November. Summers has not been accused of wrongdoing, but the emails showed that the two communicated on a regular basis, even after Epstein pleaded guilty to prostitution charges in Florida, but before he was arrested on federal sex trafficking charges in 2019.

Epsteindied by suicideat a federal jail in New York City in 2019. In recent months, the Justice Department has released millions of documents from itsEpstein files. In the U.K., the files have led to the arrest of formerPrince Andrewas well as the country's former ambassador to the U.S.,Peter Mandelson, on suspicion of misconduct in public office. Andrew has denied any wrongdoing in his relationship with Epstein, and Mandelson's law firm Mishcon de Raya said he wants to cooperate with police and clear his name.

The 2026 NBA Draft is arguably the most exciting in recent memory and could eventually go down as one of the best draft classes in league history. This storyline does not come without a dull moment.

Since our last update, plenty of drama has surrounded the 2026 NBA Draft. First, on the professional side, thetanking crisissurrounding teams punting on the season for better draft odds looms large. Meanwhile, in college basketball, pundits continue to debatewhat exactly is going onwith Kansas star freshman Darryn Peterson.

With that in mind, as the college basketball regular season nears its end before conference tournaments and March Madness begins, let's take a look at our latest mock draft.

Our draft order is based onESPN's projected recordsand factors in trades, including swaps and protections.

1.Sacramento Kings: AJ Dybantsa

• TEAM: BYU

• POSITION: Wing

• BORN: Massachusetts

• HEIGHT: 6-9

• DRAFT AGE: 19

The Kings have theworst offense in the Western Conferenceand could instantly inject life into their offense by selecting BYU freshman AJ Dybantsa. The forward currently leads the nation in unassisted points scored (548) this season,per CBB Analytics. The emerging star became the youngest player in NCAA history with a 30-point triple-double against Eastern Washington on Dec. 22. Highlighted by his 43-point performance against in-state rival Utah, he has averaged 29.7 points per game over his last 10 appearances.

2.Washington Wizards: Darryn Peterson

• TEAM: Kansas

• POSITION: Guard

• BORN: Ohio

• HEIGHT: 6-5

• DRAFT AGE: 19

While he isno longer perceivedas the near-certain No. 1 overall pick that he once was due to relativeinconsistency and injury issues, many scouts and evaluators feel that Darryn Peterson is the most talented player in this class. The Wizards would put the scoring guard in a strong position to begin his career alongside Trae Young and Anthony Davis. It's incredibly rare to find a prospect who is able to score as efficiently as Peterson while holding a usage rate as high as his has been this season.

3.Brooklyn Nets: Cameron Boozer

• TEAM: Duke

• POSITION: Forward

• BORN: Florida

• HEIGHT: 6-9

• DRAFT AGE: 18

After the Nets took five bites at the apple in the first round of the 2025 NBA Draft last season, they could fill in the rest of the puzzle of their roster by adding an incredibly tantalizing prospect with Duke freshman standout Cameron Boozer. He isn't a human highlight reel but his statistical profile jumps off the page by virtually any metric and he is nothing short of a dominant paint scorer. Boozer offers consistency and a diverse, impactful skill set.

4.Indiana Pacers: Caleb Wilson

• TEAM: North Carolina

• POSITION: Big

• BORN: Georgia

• HEIGHT: 6-10

• DRAFT AGE: 19

Based on projectionsfrom ESPN Analytics, the Pacers are projected to keep their pickrather than owe itto the Clippers. They could have a very complicated decision if it falls at No. 4 overall. Their backcourt is set with Tyrese Haliburton and Andrew Nembhard and so is their frontcourt with Pascal Siakam and Ivica Zubac. Even if the fit is clunky, though, the best player on the board here is North Carolina freshman Caleb Wilson. Although he is currently recovering from a hand fracture, his two-way upside is too high to pass up.

5. Utah Jazz: Kingston Flemings

• TEAM: Houston

• POSITION: Guard

• BORN: Texas

• HEIGHT: 6-4

• DRAFT AGE: 19

The Jazz currently have theworst defensive rating in the leaguebut could potentially improve that by selecting Houston freshman Kingston Flemings. The guard has multiple games when he has recorded at least five steals, notching eight against Arizona State earlier this season. While he scored 42 points against No. 11 Texas Tech on Jan. 24, he has since fallen into a bit of a slump, shooting less than 40.0 percent from the field over his last eight games. But with highs as high as his thus far, it will not take long for him to hear his name called on draft night.

6. Atlanta Hawks (via Pelicans): Darius Acuff Jr.

• TEAM: Arkansas

• POSITION: Guard

• BORN: Michigan

• HEIGHT: 6-3

• DRAFT AGE: 19

Aftertrading away Trae Young, the Hawks could find their point guard of the future in Arkansas standout Darius Acuff Jr. using a first-round pick they received from the Pelicans. The freshman guard is excellently efficient at operating ball screens or in isolation, ranking third in the nation for points created (997) either by himself or through an assist,per CBB Analytics. He can score well from either side of the court and leads all freshmen in both alley-oop assists (15) and field goals made in transition (58) this season.

7. Dallas Mavericks: Mikel Brown Jr.

• TEAM: Louisville

• POSITION: Guard

• BORN: Florida

• HEIGHT: 6-5

• DRAFT AGE: 20

Now led by Cooper Flagg, the Mavericks need to find players who can space the floor for him as they have the second-fewest 3-pointers made per gamein the NBAand the third-lowest 3-point percentagein the West. They should have Louisville floor general Mikel Brown Jr. highlighted on their big board. He has deep shooting range and leads all freshmen in 3-pointers made from beyond 25 feet (27) this year,per CBB Analytics. Brown is also averaging 29.2 points per game over his last five appearances, including 45 points against NC State on Feb. 9 while hitting 10 shots from beyond the arc.

8. Chicago Bulls: Nate Ament

• TEAM: Tennessee

• POSITION: Wing

• BORN: Virginia

• HEIGHT: 6-10

• DRAFT AGE: 19

After a relatively slow and inefficient start to the season, Tennessee freshman Nate Ament is starting to realize some of his lofty expectations. The freshman is averaging 21.6 points per game over his last eleven appearances, shooting 38.9 percent on 3-pointers during that span. Although he has struggled to finish at the rim, he shoots fairly well off the dribble for someone with his height. He is also adept when shooting using off-ball screens. It will only take one team to fall in love with Ament and given so much of what he brings to the table cannot be taught, it's probably a team picking fairly early.

9. Memphis Grizzlies: Keaton Wagler

• TEAM: Illinois

• POSITION: Wing

• BORN: Kansas

• HEIGHT: 6-6

• DRAFT AGE: 19

Illinois freshman Keaton Wagler shines when studying analytical models and advanced metrics. As the Grizzlies look to reload aftertrading away Jaren Jackson Jr.and potentially even moving on from Ja Morant, they could find a solid contributor to add to their rotation. The 19-year-old guard scored 46 points while shooting 9-of-11 on 3-pointers against No. 12 Purdue on Jan. 24. He projects as one of the best 3-point shooters in this class, shooting 42.0 percent from beyond the arc as a freshman this year. Wagler is a cerebral basketball player who is also averaging 5.0 rebounds and 4.3 assists per game this season.

10. Milwaukee Bucks: Labaron Philon

• TEAM: Alabama

• POSITION: Guard

• BORN: Alabama

• HEIGHT: 6-4

• DRAFT AGE: 20

The Bucks could still use more reliable players in the backcourt and could find a fairly compelling player in Alabama sophomore Labaron Philon. The guard is now averaging 21.3 points per game and has improved his 3-point shooting from 31.5 percent as a freshman to 38.7 percent as a sophomore, also managing 5.0 assists per game in the process. He also has one of the most productive one-footed floaters in college basketball.

11. Portland Trail Blazers: Brayden Burries

• TEAM: Arizona

• POSITION: Guard

• BORN: California

• HEIGHT: 6-4

• DRAFT AGE: 20

Arizona freshman Brayden Burries had two breakout games in January: He recorded 28 points with nine rebounds, four assists, four steals and one block against Kansas State on Jan. 7, and then he had 29 points with five rebounds, four assists, three steals and two blocks against BYU on Jan. 26. He then scored 24 points with five rebounds and four assists on efficient shooting in a game against Baylor on Feb. 24. Burries has proven productivity and that he is able to defend, relocate, move the ball and make 3-pointers off the dribble.

12.San Antonio Spurs(via Hawks): Yaxel Lendeborg

• TEAM: Michigan

• POSITION: Forward

• BORN: New Jersey

• HEIGHT: 6-9

• DRAFT AGE: 23

If the Spurs are going to continue to contend with Victor Wembanyama, they can add the top win-now contributor available, Michigan senior Yaxel Lendeborg, to their core. His team has outscored opponents by 491 points with him on the court this season,per CBB Analytics, which is the most of any player in the nation. He is a versatile, do-it-all player who is older than many of his collegiate peers but is probably the best player in college basketball this season.

13. Charlotte Hornets: Jayden Quaintance

• TEAM: Kentucky

• POSITION: Big

• BORN: Ohio

• HEIGHT: 6-9

• DRAFT AGE: 18

Jayden Quaintance had a late start to his sophomore campaign and may not even return to the court again this season as he recovers from a torn ACL, meniscus and fractured knee. But the sophomore big man showed immediate flashes once he debuted for Kentucky. Despite it all, though, he is arguably the most talented defender in this draft class and could help a team that desperately needs frontcourt help, like the Hornets.

14.Oklahoma City Thunder(via Clippers): Hannes Steinbach

• TEAM: Washington

• POSITION: Big

• BORN: Germany

• HEIGHT: 6-11

• DRAFT AGE: 20

After winning the 2025 NBA Finals, the Oklahoma City Thunder are projected to somehow add even more lottery talent in the 2026 NBA Draft. They could use it to potentially replace Isaiah Hartenstein by drafting a younger German big man: Hannes Steinbach. He is an instinctive rebounder with great hands, especially on the offensive glass. The big man is one of the more prolific pick and roll finishers in college basketball. He shined during the FIBA U19 World Cup and scouts love that he is a smart basketball player who can make great reads.

15. Golden State Warriors: Cameron Carr

• TEAM: Baylor

• POSITION: Wing

• BORN: Minnesota

• HEIGHT: 6-5

• DRAFT AGE: 21

One of the players who has improved his draft stock the most since the season began is Baylor junior Cameron Carr. He is able to dunk and shoot from beyond the arc at a high clip and,per Bart Torvik, is currently the only high-major player to reach 40 field goals that were dunks and 40 3-pointers so far this season. Baylor has outscored opponents by an additional 34.8 points per 100 possessions when he is on the floor relative to when he is not,via CBB Analytics, which is the second-most of any high-major player in the NCAA.

16.Miami Heat: Koa Peat

• TEAM: Arizona

• POSITION: Forwrard

• BORN: Arizona

• HEIGHT: 6-8

• DRAFT AGE: 19

The Miami Heat have drafted several prospects known for their athleticism, which means a player like Arizona forward Koa Peat will probably have some appeal to their organization. Peat is an ideal match for this franchise given his versatility as a playmaking forward. He just needs a jumper to carve out regular minutes as a high-impact pro. Arizona plays at a significantly faster pace when Peat is on the floor relative to when he is not,per CBB Analytics, which would fit very well withMiami's fastest-paced offensein the NBA.

17. Memphis Grizzlies (via Magic): Joshua Jefferson

• TEAM: Iowa State

• POSITION: Forward

• BORN: Nevada

• HEIGHT: 6-9

• DRAFT AGE: 22

A few years ago,research indicatedthat the Grizzlies tend to value a few statistical similarities in their draftees: Efficient shot selection, added value beyond scoring and defensive playmaking. For the second year in a row, Iowa State do-it-all standout Joshua Jefferson is an impactful dribble-pass-shoot forward who meetsmany of the qualificationsthat led Memphis to find players who spent many years on their roster. He is someone who looks destined to have a sustainable NBA career.

18. Oklahoma City Thunder (via 76ers): Karim López

• TEAM: International (Australia)

• POSITION: Forward

• BORN: Mexico

• HEIGHT: 6-8

• DRAFT AGE: 19

The Thunder have drafted several players from Australia's NBL, including Josh Giddey. They could dip into this well again by selecting Karim López with their pick from the Philadelphia 76ers. While the Mexican-born forward still needs some development, the physically gifted forward is widely seen as the top prospect from this class currently playing overseas. Even if he is a draft-and-stash player, that is ideal for a team with a rotation as crowded as the Thunder.

19. Charlotte Hornets (via Suns): Braylon Mullins

• TEAM: Connecticut

• POSITION: Wing

• BORN: Indiana

• HEIGHT: 6-6

• DRAFT AGE: 19

Braylon Mullins, a five-star recruit and former McDonald's All-American, missed the start of the season due to an ankle injury. But he has returned to action for the Huskies and has shown what makes him such an appealing player. He is a useful off-ball threat, which gives him an immediately practical role at the next level. Mullins is already shooting over 40 percent on 3-pointers since moving into the starting lineup.

20. Toronto Raptors: Bennett Stirtz

• TEAM: Iowa

• POSITION: Guard

• BORN: Missouri

• HEIGHT: 6-4

• DRAFT AGE: 22

The Raptors could use another guard and should have Bennett Stirtz on their priority list. Despite transferring from Division II to a mid-major and then to a high-major program, he is at the top of the class in creating his own shot off the dribble in isolation or the pick and roll. He can also finish plays from dribble handoffs. Stirtz, however, occasionally struggled against highly ranked teams like Iowa State, Illinois and Michigan State. But the Raptors play at a slow pace, which would translate well for Stirtz, who is doing the same at Iowa.

21. Los Angeles Lakers: Patrick Ngongba II

• TEAM: Duke

• POSITION: Big

• BORN: Virginia

• HEIGHT: 6-11

• DRAFT AGE: 20

The Lakers could use a big man like Patrick Ngongba II, who is an above-average passer for his position. His assist rate is the highest among underclassmen listed at 6-foot-11 or taller,per Bart Torvik, and he is at the top of his game when passing to a driving perimeter player. Ngongba is a big-bodied prospect who can carve out space as one of the most prolific cutters in college basketball. He is on an encouraging development track, displaying year-over-year improvement from his freshman to sophomore campaign.

22. Detroit Pistons (via Timberwolves): Christian Anderson

• TEAM: Texas Tech

• POSITION: Guard

• BORN: Georgia

• HEIGHT: 6-3

• DRAFT AGE: 20

While they are one of the best teams in the league this season, the Pistons are still struggling from the perimeter and could use more talented 3-point shooters on their roster. A simple fix would be drafting Texas Tech sophomore Christian Anderson, who has the second-most unassisted 3-pointers (51) in the NCAA,per CBB Analytics. Now playing at point guard, Anderson is recording more than twice as many assists per 100 possessions as a sophomore now compared to when he was a freshman.

23. Denver Nuggets: Morez Johnson Jr.

• TEAM: Michigan

• POSITION: Big

• BORN: Illinois

• HEIGHT: 6-9

• DRAFT AGE: 20

Morez Johnson Jr. is one of the best, most underrated two-way players in the NCAA. He is a crucial part of the Michigan identity this season and has thrived since transferring to the Wolverines from Illinois. Johnson's shooting form at the free throw line looks good, and he scores well near the rim, especially when cutting to the basket. The former FIBA U-19 Team USA standout is a trustworthy defensive playmaker, too, and should find minutes at the next level.

24. Philadelphia 76ers (via Rockets): Tounde Yessoufou

• TEAM: Baylor

• POSITION: Wing

• BORN: Benin

• HEIGHT: 6-5

• DRAFT AGE: 20

Baylor freshman Tounde Yessoufou is a force of nature in transition and does not have that same polish in a half-court offense. Still raw but with a respected work ethic, there are a lot of traits to admire about what he might blossom into as he continues his development. Already, however, his athleticism and his defensive playmaking will at least intrigue teams looking to improve their wing depth like the 76ers.

25. New York Knicks: Henri Veesaar

• TEAM: North Carolina

• POSITION: Big

• BORN: Estonia

• HEIGHT: 7-0

• DRAFT AGE: 22

After transferring from Arizona to North Carolina, we have seen a remarkable improvement from Henri Veesaar. The 7-foot big man from Estonia has an excellent shot diet on offense. He is scoring efficiently at the rim (especially when cutting or rolling) and on 3-pointers, while also holding his own as a rebounder and passer. Any team looking for a big man who can provide NBA minutes on an expedited timeline, like the Knicks, will have him high on their priority list.

26. Atlanta Hawks (via Cavaliers): Thomas Haugh

• TEAM: Florida

• POSITION: Wing

• BORN: Pennsylvania

• HEIGHT: 6-9

• DRAFT AGE: 22

After winning a national championship with Florida last season, Thomas Haugh was instantly regarded as one of the most interesting players who elected to return to college. Haugh has one of the top motors in the NCAA and he is an incredibly skilled basketball player. He does not need the ball in his hands very often to make a difference on the floor for his team, and he can serve as a glue guy for a team looking to compete sooner than later like the Hawks.

27. Boston Celtics: Aday Mara

• TEAM: Michigan

• POSITION: Big

• BORN: Spain

• HEIGHT: 7-3

• DRAFT AGE: 21

As the Celtics continue to exceed expectations, they do have some holes to fill in their frontcourt after losing both Kristaps Porziņģis and Al Horford. After selecting Hugo González from Spain in the draft last season, they could potentially target his former FIBA U18 European Championship tournament teammate Aday Mara. The 7-foot-3 big man who transferred from UCLA is a fantastic rim protector. Opponents only attempt 18.3 percent of their field goals at the rim when Mara is on the court,per CBB Analytics, the second-lowest among high-major players. He can also pass well, finding some awesome outlet looks in transition.

28. Cleveland Cavaliers (via Spurs): Amari Allen

• TEAM: Alabama

• POSITION: Wing

• BORN: Wisconsin

• HEIGHT: 6-7

• DRAFT AGE: 20

Alabama freshman Amari Allen is a 6-foot-7 freshman who averaged 13.5 points, 8.1 rebounds and 4.0 assists with 1.9 "stocks" (combined steals and blocks) per game for the Crimson Tide during SEC conference play. He also shot 38.3 percent on 3-pointers while attempting 4.0 shots per game beyond the arc. Allen is a good connective piece who plays hard and knows how to make the right play.

29. Minnesota Timberwolves (via Pistons): Allen Graves

• TEAM: Santa Clara

• POSITION: Forward

• BORN: Louisiana

• HEIGHT: 6-9

• DRAFT AGE: 20

Perhaps the most enticing, under-the-radar prospect in all of college basketball is Santa Clara freshman Allen Graves. It was hard not to notice Graves after he scored 30 points with 13 rebounds, four assists and two steals on Feb. 7 against Washington State. All-in-one metrics are high on him,per CBB Analytics: He ranks 99th percentile in Win Shares per 40 minutes, Wins Above Replacement Player and Player Efficiency Rating. The only players under 21 years old who hold a higher box plus-minus are Cameron Boozer and Caleb Wilson,via Bart Torvik.

30. Dallas Mavericks (via Thunder): Dailyn Swain

• TEAM: Texas

• POSITION: Wing

• BORN: Ohio

• HEIGHT: 6-8

• DRAFT AGE: 21

After transferring from Xavier to Texas during the offseason, Dailyn Swain has become one of the more intriguing breakout players in college basketball. He is versatile and contributes a little bit of everything for the Longhorns on both sides of the ball, particularly impressive scoring well both in the paint and on fastbreaks. One element that is particularly compelling is that Swain is particularly efficient one-on-one in isolation against his defenders.

The Chicago Bears have given linebacker Tremaine Edmunds permission to seek a trade,according to multiplereports.

Edmunds became a two-time Pro Bowler with the Buffalo Bills, who drafted him 16th overall out of Virginia Tech in 2018. He's spent the past three seasons with the Bears.

Even though Edmunds missed four games during the 2025 campaign with a groin injury that he suffered late in a Week 11 win over the Minnesota Vikings, he still finished the regular season with a team-leading 112 total tackles. He's gone over the century mark in that department in each of his eight NFL seasons.

The Bears have Edmunds under contract for the 2026 season at $15 million,according to the Chicago Tribune's Brad Biggs. He will turn 28 in May.

[Get more Bears news: Chicago team feed]

Chicago brought him aboard in 2023. It made a splash in free agency,signing not only Edmunds but also fellow linebacker T.J. Edwards.

At the time, the Bears inked Edmunds to a four-year deal reportedly worth $72 million, with $50 million of that money guaranteed.

Since, Edmunds has remained productive. He's not just a tackle vacuum, either. Over the years, he's proven he has a knack for intercepting passes. He picked off four of them this past season. Edmunds did that in 2023, too, his first year with the Bears, even recording a 45-yard pick 6 in Week 15 of that season.

That's not to say he doesn't have his lapses in coverage, but he does have a track record of making game-changing plays.

He was especially good against the run this past season. No Bears player piled up more run stops than Edmunds (25), per Pro Football Focus, which defines those as "tackles that constitute a 'failure' for the offense."

Yet, as Bears head coach Ben Johnson has emphasized, every season is a new season.

Given the reports that surfaced Wednesday, Chicago could very well enter the 2026 campaign without one of its standouts from a breakout 2025.

PEORIA, Ariz. (AP) — Cal Raleigh has already gone deep this spring, yet the switch-hitting Seattle Mariners catcher isn't focused on trying to hit 60 home runs again this season.

White Sox Mariners Baseball

Raleigh, who had an MLB-leading 60 homers last year,hit a 427-foot homeragainst the Chicago White Sox in an exhibition game Tuesday. His first spring homer came in his third game.

"I think the elephant in the room is 60 home runs. That's not something I'm setting out to do," Raleigh told Seattle Sports this week. "To me, I'm just trying to be as consistent as possible, trying to do what I did last year."

His 60 homers last season were the most for a player who was primarily a catcher, having started 119 games behind the plate and another 38 at designated hitter. The 29-year-old Raleigh,nicknamed "Big Dumper,"also had a career-high 125 RBIs and finished second in theAmerican League MVPvoting behind New York Yankees slugger and third-time winner Aaron Judge.

Judgeand Raleigh are both set to play for Team USA in the World Baseball Classic, which begins pool play next week. Judge set theAL record with 62 home runsin 2022.

They are among only seven players with a 60-homer season, andMark McGwireand Sammy Sosa are the only ones to do so in consecutive seasons (1998 and 1999). McGwire and Sosa are the only players with multiple 60-homer seasons, and Sosa had a third in 2001.
