• Rockies catcher Yorvit Torrealba's 11-year-old son, Yorvit Eduardo, and a brother-in-law were released by kidnappers a day after being abducted in Caracas, Venezuela. The two were taken while driving to the boy's school, Venezuelan authorities said Thursday. The kidnappers demanded $466,000 in ransom, but none was paid, said Wilmer Flores Trossel, head of Venezuela's federal police. The Rockies said Torrealba learned of the abduction Tuesday and immediately flew to Venezuela.
