SF Giants place Joey Bart on injured list in another road block for young catcher

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:10:30 GMT

NEW YORK — Already facing a flurry of competition at the catching spot, the road for Joey Bart only became more difficult Sunday, as the Giants announced that the former first-round pick had been ruled out until at least midway through their upcoming homestand.Bart, 26, was placed on the 10-day injured list before San Francisco’s Sunday series finale against the Yankees. After being scratched Saturday when his back tightened up in batting practice, an MRI revealed a “very small” strain in his mid-back, manager Gabe Kapler said.“We don’t expect it to be a long-term thing,” Kapler said. “It feels more short-term.”Bart said he was feeling better Sunday morning, and Kapler said the club discussed a timeline of 7-10 days, so they are hopeful he will be able to return after his 10 days on the IL are up. With the move retroactive to Friday, Bart will be eligible to return for next Monday’s series opener against the Dodgers.In the meantime, th...

Twitter has removed the verification check mark on the main account of The New York Times, one of CEO Elon Musk’s most despised news organizations.The removal comes as many of Twitter’s high-profile users are bracing for the loss of the blue check marks that helped verify their identity and distinguish them from imposters on the social media platform.Musk, who owns Twitter, set a deadline of Saturday for verified users to buy a premium Twitter subscription or lose the checks on their profiles.

HOUSTON (AP) — The transfer portal. Name, image and likeness deals. Sixth-year seniors. Conference realignment. The ever-shifting prospects of the one-and-done rule.The once semi-predictable ground that underpinned college basketball has been changing at lightning speed over the past 24 months, leaving coaches and their bosses scrambling to adjust to whatever comes next.The NCAA Tournament closes out Monday when UConn plays San Diego State, and will go down as one of the most unpredictable ever. Unanswered is the question of whether the shifting landscape in college sports was the reason for all bracket madness or simply background noise for an event that is always hard to handicap.Either way, things are changing and coaches are trying to adjust on the fly.“These might be some of the greatest challenges we’re facing with the portal and NIL and just lack of direction and rules and regulations,” said Mark Few of Gonzaga, a perennial powerhouse that has reached the Sweet 16 in eight st...

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:10:30 GMT

Estados Unidos es el saco de boxeo de la Tierra para el mal tiempo.Se culpa a la geografía de que EEUU se vea afectado por condiciones climáticas extremas más intensas, costosas, variadas y frecuentes que en cualquier otro lugar del planeta, dijeron varios expertos. Dos océanos, el Golfo de México, las Montañas Rocosas, penínsulas que sobresalen como Florida, frentes de tormenta que chocan y la corriente en chorro se combinan para generar naturalmente el clima más desagradable.Eso es solo una parte. La naturaleza le dio una mala mano a EEUU, pero la gente lo ha empeorado mucho más por qué, dónde y cómo construimos, dijeron varios expertos a The Associated Press.Luego agregue el cambio climático y “abróchese el cinturón. Se esperan más eventos extremos”, dijo Rick Spinrad, jefe de la Administración Nacional Oceánica y Atmosférica.
