Tucupita Marcano gets lifetime MLB ban for betting on baseball
Major League Baseball has permanently banned Tucupita Marcano after determining that the infielder placed hundreds of bets on baseball, including wagers on games involving the Pittsburgh Pirates when he was with the team last season. MLB said Tuesday that Marcano placed 387 baseball bets totaling more than $150,000 in October 2022 and from last July through November with a legal sportsbook. He became the first active player in a century banned for life because of gambling. Marcano appears to be the first active major leaguer banned under the sport's gambling provision since New York Giants outfielder Jimmy O'Connell in 1924. Pete Rose, baseball's active career hits leader, famously agreed to a lifetime ban in 1989 after an investigation concluded he bet on Cincinnati Reds games while managing the team.

Willie Mayes won't attend Negro League tribute game at Rickwood Field
Willie Mays will not be in attendance when the San Francisco Giants face the St. Louis Cardinals at Rickwood Field on Thursday in a game honoring him and the Negro Leagues. Mays, who began his career in Alabama with the Birmingham Black Barons of the Negro Leagues and played for the Giants from 1951-72, told the San Francisco Chronicle that he will enjoy the game at home.
**********
There also will be a Double-A game at the ballpark between the Birmingham Barons and Montgomery Biscuits of the Southern League on June 18. Mays will still be honored during the week's festivities.
Aaron Judge , Bryce Harpereatly All-Star Game fan vote leaders
Judge, who leads the majors in home runs (26), RBIs (64), slugging percentage (.686), walks (57), total bases (181) and OPS (1.110), tops all players with 1,366,315 votes. - Harper is hitting .280 with 15 home runs and 46 RBIs. It would be his first All-Star start since 2018, his final season with the Washington Nationals. He was voted in as the starter at DH in 2022 but missed the game with an injury. Harper leads the National League with 1,110,562 votes.
**********
Phase I of the voting runs through June 27, with the top vote-getter from each league earning a starting spot in the All-Star Game in Arlington, Texas. In Phase 2, the top two vote-getters at the other positions, and the top six outfielders, advance to determine the remaining starters.

Kansas governor signs to offer Chiefs, Royals stadium help
Kansas Gov. Laura Kelly signed legislation Friday enabling the state to lure the Super Bowl champion Kansas City Chiefs and Major League Baseball's Royals away from neighboring Missouri by helping the teams pay for new stadiums. Kelly's action came three days after the Republican-led Legislature approved the measure with bipartisan supermajorities -- an unusually quick turnaround that signals how urgently Kansas officials consider making the offers. Missouri officials have argued that discussions about building new stadiums are still in the early stages. They said construction of a new one typically takes about three years and pointed out that the lease on the existing complex that includes the teams' side-by-side stadiums doesn't end until January 2031. The Kansas-Missouri border splits the 2.3 million-resident Kansas City area, with about 60% of the people living on the Missouri side.

Mets closer Edwin Diaz suspended 10 games for foreign substance
Díaz, a two-time All-Star, has struggled this season, with just seven saves and a 4.70 ERA. He missed all of last season with a knee injury suffered while celebrating a Puerto Rico win in the World Baseball Classic and spent about two weeks on the injured list this season with a shoulder issue before being reinstated June 13.
**********
Díaz was ejected before he took the mound in the ninth inning of the Mets' 5-2 victory over the Chicago Cubs on Sunday night by crew chief Vic Carapazza after a sticky, discolored substance was found on Díaz's right hand.
