Santa Rosa’s Scott Alexander shut down with hamstring strain. Will he be back with SF Giants in 2024?

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:27:35 GMT

LOS ANGELES — Scott Alexander, a Santa Rosa native, has possibly thrown his last pitch for his hometown San Francisco Giants.Alexander, 34, strained his left hamstring before Saturday’s game while running sprints, landing him on the injured list and ruling him out for the rest of this season. In a corresponding move, the Giants called up outfielder Heliot Ramos from Triple-A Sacramento.While Alexander told the Bay Area News Group that he would like to return next year, the sinkerballing left-hander is set to be a free agent this offseason, and the Giants might prefer to build their bullpen next year without him.“I like it here a lot. I would love to come back,” he said in an interview last week. “But it’s kind of out of my hands.”The Giants signed Alexander to a minor-league contract last May when he couldn’t find any takers. His shoulder was injured, but doctors couldn’t pinpoint the exact ailment. The Giants allowed him to rehab unde...

Evans and Fernandes combine as Man United secure victory in ‘must-win’ game against Burnley

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 16:27:35 GMT

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — It was no surprise to see Bruno Fernandes come up with a clutch moment when Manchester United needed it most. Few, however, would have expected veteran defender Jonny Evans to provide the assist for the Portuguese midfielder’s winning goal at Burnley on Saturday. Evans himself thought such moments for him in a United shirt were long gone. “When you get to a certain age you start to wind down your career,” said the 35-year-old center back, who made his 200th appearance for the club more than eight years since his last start.Evans won three Premier League titles at United after graduating from its famed academy. The Northern Ireland international then left for West Bromwich Albion in 2015, but rejoined United as a free agent in the offseason at the tail end of his career.“It was never a thought that I would come in and be a starter,” he said after the 1-0 win at Turf Moor. “I was told that my role would be to provide competition and that is how I have ...

MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) — Nicco Marchiol’s first career start was full of hiccups, oversights and mistakes. The West Virginia quarterback sure was happy about how it turned out.“Ecstatic to come out victorious,” Marchiol said. The redshirt freshman threw a touchdown pass in place of the injured Garrett Greene, CJ Donaldson added a short TD run and West Virginia held off Texas Tech 20-13 in its Big 12 opener on Saturday. West Virginia was held under 300 total yards of offense for the second straight week. But its defense played another solid game to overcome any deficiencies on the other side of the ball.Texas Tech backup quarterback Behren Morton came on for the injured Tyler Shough in the first quarter and put together a pair of scoring drives. But Morton, who had thrown for 325 yards and two touchdowns against the Mountaineers a year ago in Texas Tech’s 48-10 win, couldn’t bring the Red Raiders back from a 13-3 deficit this time. Morton drove the Red Raiders from their ...
