In a letter this week detailing its finding, though, state officials asked for a complete plan and a new closure date later than the 23rd, writing “Based upon the information provided to date, the Department does not believe the Hospital’s closure plan is adequate.” “It’s a small victory,” said Tara Corey, a registered nurse in the maternity unit in Leominster. Corey and her coworkers have been among those raising concerns about the proposed closure. Speaking this week, Corey said this latest move is a step in the right direction. Still, Corey and others want Gov. Maura Healey to get involved. “It’s proving that what we’re doing is being heard by the people that need to hear it and I think ...

Grayson Rodriguez’s first stint in the major leagues didn’t go well. Adley Rutschman struggled for his first month as a big leaguer. Gunnar Henderson started his first full MLB season slowly.Orioles prospect Colton Cowser is hoping he’s able to bounce back the way his friends did.“It definitely gives you confidence,” Cowser said about his predecessors’ success after their early stumbles.Cowser, who was recalled Friday as rosters expanded from 26 to 28 players, made his MLB debut July 5, and while the 23-year-old had a couple big moments, he largely struggled at the plate.
