TORONTO (AP) — Carlos Febles was hired Tuesday as third base coach of the Toronto Blue Jays, who expanded the duties of bench coach Don Mattingly to include the title of offensive coordinator.

The 47-year-old Febles was a second baseman for Kansas City from 1998-03 and joined the Blue Jays after 17 seasons coaching in the Boston Red Sox organization. He replaced Luis Rivera, who retired after last season.

Febles managed more than 900 games in Boston’s minor league system before joining the Red Sox as infield instructor in 2017. He was Boston’s third base coach from 2018-23.

Mattingly, a former New York Yankees captain and Los Angeles Dodgers and Miami manager, was hired as Toronto’s bench coach in November 2022.

Malaysia's Najib loses legal bid to serve sentence under house arrest
KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) -A Malaysian court dismissed jailed former Prime Minister Najib Razak's legal bid to obtain a document that he said would allow him to serve his remaining prison sentence under house arrest. In a judicial review application filed on April 1, Najib said an "addendum order" issued by the former king had accompanied a pardons board's decision in February to halve his 12-year jail sentence for graft in the multibillion-dollar 1MDB scandal. Najib had sought for the court to compel the government to reply to or confirm the existence of the royal order, which he said would entitle him to serve the remainder of his term under house arrest, and to execute the order if it existed.
