Vivek Ramaswamy, the Cincinnati-born biotech entrepreneur who departed the Department of Government Efficiency initiative on President Donald Trump’s first day, was expected to launch his bid for Ohio governor Monday.

MESA, Ariz. — For the first time in more than nine months, Chicago Cubs pitching prospect Cade Horton faced batters.

He didn’t pitch after May 29 and was ultimately shut down in…
