SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) — San Francisco quarterback Brock Purdy took part in some light throwing on Monday after missing his first career game because of an injury and the 49ers are hoping he can return this week. during a loss to Seattle on Nov. 17. Purdy underwent two MRIs last week that showed no structural damage. But Purdy he felt discomfort after making a few throws at practice on Thursday and was shut down for the game at Green Bay on Sunday that . Coach Kyle Shanahan said Monday that Purdy made it through the session without pain and will rest on Tuesday and hopefully be able to return to practice on Wednesday as the Niners prepare to play at Buffalo this coming week. “We rested it throughout the weekend hoping that would help,” Shanahan said. “He threw lighter today to see if that rest helps and the rest did help him. So we’ll see again, going through the same things we did last week. We’re going to let him rest all the way up to Wednesday. We’ll see how it feels on Wednesday and then we’ll take the exact same course throughout the week. Hopefully it responds better this week than it did last week with the rest.” went 17 for 29 for 199 yards with a touchdown, an interception and a lost fumble in his first start since the 2021 season. Allen would play once again if Purdy is unable to go on Sunday at Buffalo. Purdy wasn't the only star player missing for the 49ers on Sunday with defensive end Nick Bosa missing the game with injuries to his left hip and oblique and left tackle Trent Williams out with an ankle injury. “Just waiting to see how they respond,” Shanahan said. “They didn’t respond great last week. That’s why they weren’t able to go. Nick and Trent are both in the same boat. ... We’ll evaluate as this week progresses and hopefully it turns a better corner than it did last week.” In other injury news, linebacker Dre Greenlaw will return to practice this week for the first time since tearing his Achilles tendon in the Super Bowl last season. Greenlaw will likely need at least a couple of weeks of practice before being able to return to play. Offensive lineman Jon Feliciano will be shut down for the rest of the season after his knee injury didn't fully heal. Feliciano's three-week practice window ended Monday and the Niners decided to keep him on injured reserve instead of activating him. Left guard Aaron Banks, defensive tackle Jordan Elliott and receiver Jacob Cowing all remain in concussion protocol to start this week and their status is unknown. Right guard Dominick Puni (shoulder) and cornerback Deommodore Lenoir (knee) underwent MRIs on Monday and the team is waiting for results. Cornerback Renardo Green (neck) and linebacker Demetrius Flannigan-Fowles (knee) are day to day. Defensive tackle Kevin Givens is expected to return to practice this week after missing the past four games with a groin injury. AP NFL:Proposed merger of Kroger and Albertsons is halted by federal, state judges The proposed $24.6 billion merger between supermarket giants Kroger and Albertsons floundered on Tuesday after judges overseeing two separate cases both halted the merger. A federal judge in Oregon temporarily blocked the proposed merger until an in-house administrative judge at the Federal Trade Commission considers it. Shortly afterward, a judge in Washington state issued a permanent injunction barring the merger in that state, saying it lessens competition. Kroger and Albertsons in 2022 proposed what would be the largest grocery store merger in U.S. history. But the Federal Trade Commission and the state of Washington sued earlier this year.

He noted Tuesday in a speech at the Brookings Institution that Trump likely got credit for helping people out through this simple, effective act of branding. Biden did the second-guessing as he defended his economic record and challenged Trump to preserve Democratic policy ideas when he returns to the White House next month. Trump’s decision to add his name to the checks sent by the U.S. Treasury to millions of Americans struggling during the coronavirus marked the first time a president’s name appeared on any IRS payments. Former chairman of state-owned bank China Everbright Group jailed for 12 years for corruption BEIJING (AP) — Chinese official broadcaster CCTV says a former chairman of the state-owned bank China Everbright Group has been jailed 12 years for embezzlement and bribery. Tang Shuangning, who had also held senior posts at the People’s Bank of China and the China Banking Regulatory Commission, was arrested in January, part of a wider wave of prosecutions of senior officials accused of financial crimes. A court in the city of Tangshan, about 100 miles east of Beijing, found him guilty of taking advantage of his position at the state-owned bank in “seeking convenience for others” in jobs and loans, in exchange for illegal payments. The court said he had accepted illegal property with a total value of more than $1.5 million. What did you Google in 2024? From the elections to Copa América, here's what search trends show NEW YORK (AP) — Remember what you searched for in 2024? Google does. Google has released its annual “Year in Search," rounding up 2024's top trending searches. It shows terms that saw the highest spike in traffic compared to last year.

US defense secretary in Japan to support alliance as Osprey aircraft safety causes concern TOKYO (AP) — U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin has met with officials in Japan to reaffirm the importance of their alliance and Washington's commitment to regional security as threats rise from China and North Korea. Austin’s visit on Tuesday also came amid growing concerns over the safety of Ospreys. The military aircraft have been grounded in the United States following a near crash at Cannon Air Force Base in New Mexico last month. The incident was caused by weakened metal components. It was similar to a fatal crash off southwestern Japan last year. The U.S. measure prompted the suspension of Ospreys operated by Japan’s Ground Self-Defense Force. Trustee over Infowars auction asks court to approve The Onion's winning bid A trustee who oversaw the bankruptcy auction of Alex Jones’ Infowars is asking a judge to approve The Onion’s winning bid for the conspiracy-filled platform. Trustee Christopher Murray took the stand Tuesday in the second day of testimony at a hearing where a judge is scrutinizing the satirical news outlet’s winning offer. He told U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Christopher Lopez in Houston that he was there asking a court to approve the sale of Infowars’ parent company to The Onion’s parent company. It is not clear how quickly Lopez will rule. The Onion wants to turn Infowars’ website and social media accounts into parodies. Small businesses plan events, start marketing earlier to deal with shorter holiday shopping season The holiday shopping season is underway, and this year small businesses have less time to capitalize on the busy shopping period. Only 27 days separate Thanksgiving and Christmas — five fewer than last year. But there are still ways to make the most of a shorter season. One key strategy is for owners to promote deals to customers wherever they can, from social media to physical ads. The National Retail Federation predicts that retail sales will rise between 2.5% and 3.5% compared with same period a year ago. Online shopping is expected to grow too. Adobe Digital Insights predicts an 8.4% increase online for the full season. 10 notable books of 2024, from Sarah J.

Though it’s no one’s idea of a juggernaut, the Mets starting rotation is looking a little clearer than it did at this point last offseason. A lot of work needed to be done to replace the production left by Jose Quintana, Luis Severino and Sean Manaea—and to the front office’s credit, that work seems to have wrapped up before the new year. It certainly helped to replace Manaea with Manaea, who just signed a three-year, $75 million contract to stay in Queens. Perhaps that won’t be the last starting pitching move David Stearns makes this offseason, but it feels like the last big move, one that puts a final piece in place of what looks to be a competitive staff. The big question about the Mets rotation is not necessarily the pecking order, but whether the team will employ a five or six-man rotation to start the year—something we’ll get into a little later. But for now, let’s get pecking: Kodai Senga No one should quibble with the idea of Senga being the ace of this team. Over the last two seasons, Senga has led all Mets pitchers in both Baseball Reference Wins Above Replacement (4.6) and Fangraphs WAR (3.6) despite making only one regular-season appearance in 2024. Senga also flashed some brilliance in three limited postseason outings, even if they will mostly be remembered by the numerous walks and earned runs. A healthy Kodai Senga is still the most talented and potentially productive starter on the roster, and as someone with extensive high-leverage experience as an ace pitcher in Japan’s NPB, there’s no better candidate to take up the same role for the Mets. Put it this way: The fact that the Mets are considering running a six-man rotation has mostly to do with optimizing their ace—without that factor, the Mets likely wouldn’t consider extending a starting rotation with a lot of question marks on it. Sean Manaea Perhaps he didn’t quite pitch to the level of an ace, but when the Mets needed a horse during their flaming-hot second half in 2024, Manaea galloped to the front of the rotation. Manaea led all Mets pitchers in wins (12), strikeouts (184), and bWAR (3.0), and from July onward led all MLB pitchers in innings pitched (105 1/3, over seven innings more than second-place Nathan Eovaldi). He even turned it up in the playoffs, pitching effectively in three starts before tiring out against the Dodgers in the knockout Game 6 of the National League Championship Series. And it’s that fatigue factor that might make a six-man rotation work for Manaea, as well. The soon-to-be 33-year-old registered his career high in innings pitched last season (181 2/3), much of those while tinkering with an ultimately successful mechanical adjustment. If the Mets can find some more rest for Manaea between starts, it could limit the lefty’s injury liability and cement him in the top of the rotation for a healthy majority of the season. David Peterson Imagine at this point last year thinking Peterson would be cemented in the Mets starting rotation for the 2025 season—much less in the front half of the rotation. But that testifies to the progress that Peterson made in 2024—a year that showed a lot of concerns with his underlying metrics , but also one that proved Peterson’s ability to limit runs in high-pressure situations. Maybe the incremental changes he made with pitch selection (i.e. throwing his sinker more) will once again manifest into big-league production—or maybe Peterson will regress to being the fringe-level starter he’s been most of his career. Either way, the lefty will get a chance to prove himself once again. Frankie Montas The Stearns-era Mets bought low last year on two oft-injured, high-talent starters in Manaea and Severino, and it worked nearly to perfection. This time, the project turns to free agent signing Frankie Montas, who is on his fifth team in the last three seasons. Montas pitched 150 2 ⁄ 3 rather meh innings for Milwaukee and Cincinnati in 2024, slightly underperforming compared to his expected numbers (which, to be fair, were not that exciting, either). But the righty also got Cy Young votes pitching for Oakland in 2021 and found a lot of success with his sinker last season, meaning a Severino-like resurgence for the Mets isn’t entirely out of the question. Clay Holmes It feels a little premature to put a pitcher who last started a game in 2018 as the fifth starter in the rotation, but all reports show the Mets are committed to making Holmes a regular MLB starter. Perhaps it’s to exorcise the demons from the totality of the Seth Lugo experience, or perhaps it was seeing how well the Giants converted Jordan Hicks to a starter (at least for the first two months of 2024)—whatever the reason, Holmes will get his chance to start at the back end of a five (or six) man rotation. But what about that sixth spot? Tylor Megill, Paul Blackburn, José Buttó If the Mets orient their staff around a six-man rotation, there are a few interesting options to bring up the caboose of the staff. Megill seems born for this role, as a high-variance pitcher with a talented arm that has provided enough juice to stick around but has yet to “prove it.” If Megill does indeed “prove it” with solid production from the back end, that could give the Mets a dangerous rotation, even if it doesn’t reach the heights of Philadelphia’s starting staff. Of course, it’s hard to justify Megill for that role when Buttó has been the better pitcher over the last two seasons. But the dilemma the Mets had with Buttó last year is the dilemma they’ll face this year—namely, do they reach for good production from Buttó as a starter or pencil in effective relief outings for a bullpen that will likely need it? Call it the Lugo quandary, only with Buttó and a sixth starter at stake. And then there’s Blackburn, who has much more MLB experience than either Megill or Buttó, but hasn’t been better than fine in any of his Major League seasons. Fun fact though: He’s one of three Mets starters on the active roster with an All-Star appearance (Senga, Holmes)...so that’s something. Blackburn might also be the best fit for the starting role since Megill and Buttó saw so much time in the bullpen last year, anyway. Any configuration that gets all three of these pitchers on the active roster could make the Mets stronger, especially since it’s not entirely clear who for sure will support Edwin Díaz in the bullpen. The Rest Call them depth, call them backup plans, call them emergency starters—the Mets certainly have them. First up is Griffin Canning, who is by the strictest definition a Major League starter—just not a very good one last year, giving up an American League-high 99 runs in 31 starts for the Los Angeles Angels. Then there’s Dylan Covey and Max Kranick, both on the 40-man roster with Major League starting experience. Kranick, however, spent most of 2024 with Triple-A Syracuse and hasn’t pitched in the Majors since 2022, while Covey has started only one MLB game since 2019, a span that included two years spent in Taiwan. Safe to say, if either of these pitchers starts more than two games for the Mets in 2025, then something has gone terribly wrong. And last to mention are the prospects. Christian Scott (technically not a prospect anymore) is expected to miss the entire 2025 season recovering from Tommy John Surgery, though the sparks of talent he showed in 2024 make him an interesting candidate to slot in the 2026 rotation. The same could be said of top pitching prospect Brandon Sproat, who has big arm talent but was pretty bad in seven starts in Syracuse last season. Much like with Covey and Kranick, it’s probably best for the Mets if they don’t see MLB action this season. Especially Scott. No baseball for him just yet!
