SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR) — Bruce Springsteen is postponing all remaining 2023 tour dates with The E Street Band out of an abundance of caution related to his peptic ulcer disease.Springsteen announced on X, formerly Twitter, in early September that he was being treated for symptoms of the disease, and his medical advisors decided he should postpone his September concerts. Now, shows scheduled for the rest of the year are also being rescheduled. Doctors say peptic ulcer disease is easily treated, but when left untreated can cause internal bleeding, holes in the stomach wall or even stomach cancer. It occurs when acid erodes lining of the stomach or small intestine, creating an ulcer. The most common symptom of peptic ulcer disease is stomach pain, though some people don't even report symptoms, according to the Mayo Clinic. The disease is most frequently caused by a bacterial infection or by longterm use of anti-inflammatory medications like ibuprofen, Advil and Aleve.

CHICAGO — While their chances for the postseason realistically disappeared months ago, there is something on the line for the White Sox in the final games of their season.That's especially the case when it comes to their second-to-last series of 2023, where they're in an interesting position over the course of three games. Tuesday's 15-4 loss to the Diamondbacks is one of three games the club has against Arizona at Guaranteed Rate Field this week. The teams will meet at 1:10 p.m. starts on Wednesday and Thursday before the White Sox host the Padres for the last series starting Friday.Top priority at the moment for Pedro Grifol's club is to try and avoid some club infamy, which will take a good stretch against Arizona and San Diego. With the defeat on Tuesday, the White Sox are at 97 and just three away from a rare 100-loss season in franchise history.That's only happened four times in franchise history - 1932, 1948, 1970, and 2018 - and the White Sox will have to win three of their ...Why is Austin behind on tree trimming?
