Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:24:53 GMT

ST. LOUIS - More tough luck hits the St. Louis Cardinals in a challenging season. Young slugger Nolan Gorman lands on the injured list with a lower back strain. Gorman, who ranks second on the team in home runs and RBI, has dealt with back tightness periodically throughout the season. He will be sidelined through at least the final week of August.

Many mysteries around next year’s Cardinals rotation; Mo wants to add ‘three starters’ In a corresponding move to placing Gorman on the injured list, the Cardinals call up minor-league prospect Richie Palacios, acquired from the Cleveland Guardians in June.

SANTA CLARA — Wide receiver Jauan Jennings knew exactly how to describe Brock Purdy after a milestone in the quarterback’s comeback from elbow surgery.“Brock-star. We love him out there,” Jennings said Thursday.Purdy was out there practicing three consecutive days this week for the first time since his March 10 surgery, keeping him firmly on track to start the 49ers’ regular-season opener Sept. 10 at the Pittsburgh Steelers.When it comes to preseason football, however, the 49ers love Purdy out of danger and over on the sideline. He’s not expected to play in Saturday’s preseason game against the Denver Broncos at Levi’s Stadium, after he and every other would-be starter sat out Sunday’s 34-7 loss at the Las Vegas Raiders.Sam Darnold could get the start if coach Kyle Shanahan opts not to give Trey Lance a mulligan after his shaky outing against the Raiders.Purdy certainly got the most work in Thursday’s brisk practice.
