Claim 1: “Aaron Judge took indoor batting practice for the first time about a week ago after landing on the injured list.”
SINGLE SOURCE
While evidence confirms Aaron Judge was on the injured list and recently took swings in a batting cage against overhand pitches, none of the sources specifically confirm that this happened 'about a week ago' relative to the article's publication date, nor do they explicitly use the phrase 'indoor batting practice for the first time'.

Claim 3: “Bill Simpson, head of geological collections at the Field Museum, removes bones from Sue the T. rex”
MISLEADING
Multiple sources confirm that Bill Simpson is the Head of Geological Collections at the Field Museum and discusses Sue the T. rex. However, the evidence mentions a 'life-size model' of Sue and the skeleton itself, but there is no evidence in the provided text stating that he 'removes bones' from the specimen. The claim conflates his role as curator with an action not supported by the evidence.
