Stanford Cardinal QB Daniels ‘day-to-day’ for Big Game vs. Cal Bears

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:20:06 GMT

Stanford coach Troy Taylor said that starting quarterback Ashton Daniels is “day-to-day” heading into the 126th Big Game Saturday at Stanford Stadium.Taylor doesn’t disclose specific injury information, but the sophomore appeared to hurt his left hand while being tackled in the second quarter last week against Oregon State. Daniels re-entered the game for the second half, but seemed to aggravate the injury after being tackled again midway through the fourth quarter and never returned.Daniels has thrown for 1,346 yards in the past five games, the fifth-most in the Pac-12, and his 58 carries over the last three games are the 11th-most by a QB in the FBS in that stretch.In the last month, Daniels led a 29-point second-half comeback against Colorado and compiled 448 yards against Washington, the second-most total yards in a game by a Stanford QB. But he has struggled in his past two games, throwing for 115 yards on 31 attempts against Washington State and throwing three interceptions ag...

Why SF Giants left 2 promising prospects unprotected in Rule 5 draft

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:20:06 GMT

The deadline to protect players from the upcoming Rule 5 draft came and passed Tuesday with the Giants leaving two of their top position player prospects exposed, betting that both are still too raw to meet the requirement they spend all year on a major-league roster.Shortstop Aeverson Arteaga and center fielder Grant McCray, the Giants’ No. 7 and No. 12 prospects according to MLB Pipeline, will be available for any team willing to select them in the Dec. 6 draft and keep them on their major-league roster all of next season, a move the Giants pulled off with Blake Sabol in 2023.The Giants instead added a trio of pitchers — RHP Trevor McDonald, LHP Erik Miller and RHP Kai-Wei Teng — to the 40-man roster ahead of the deadline, which president of baseball operations Farhan Zaidi explained was more a reflection on the state of baseball under the current rules than their feelings toward the younger position player prospects.“Having capable reinforcements and capable reinforce...

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:20:06 GMT

By Devan Cole | CNNThe Justice Department on Tuesday urged a Washington, DC, appeals court to uphold the gag order against Donald Trump in his federal election subversion criminal case, saying the former president’s recent attacks on special counsel Jack Smith’s family underscore why restrictions on Trump’s speech are necessary.“There has never been a criminal case in which a court has granted a defendant an unfettered right to try his case in the media, malign the prosecutor and his family, and … target specific witnesses with attacks on their character and credibility,” Smith’s team told the US DC Circuit Court of Appeals in a filing.Trump is asking the appeals court to undo the limited gag order issued last month by District Judge Tanya Chutkan. The former president has already failed once in his bid to undo the gag order, and the appeals court is set to hear oral arguments on the matter next week.In a brief last week, Trump’s legal team told the appeals court that Chutkan went t...

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 16:20:06 GMT

Israel says its forces have entered Gaza’s Shifa hospital, the site of a lengthy standoff. The Israeli army had surrounded the facility as part of its ground offensive against Hamas, claiming the militant group conceals military operations in the hospital complex.
