Nationwide outage impacts US passport verification
- On May 13, 2025, a statewide official in Illinois announced that a nationwide outage was preventing U.S. Passport verification services from functioning at DMV locations.
- The outage caused verification services to be unavailable, leading Giannoulias to advise callers to dial 800-252-8980 before visiting DMVs due to possible hour or service changes.
- Before their Tuesday matchup in Toronto, the Tampa Bay team added designated hitter Yandy Díaz to the restricted list because of a delay in renewing his passport.
- Díaz, who has appeared in 40 games this year with a batting average of.238, six home runs, and 20 runs batted in, is anticipated to return for the home series starting Friday, while Coco Montes was promoted to fill his roster position.
- Rays manager Kevin Cash expressed disappointment about Díaz's absence because of his importance to the team and offense but anticipates his return in Miami soon.
