Sharks update: Blackwood’s important change in regimen, and can Zetterlund bounce back?

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:35:09 GMT

San Jose Sharks goalie Mackenzie Blackwood is hoping a small addition to his offseason training regimen can make a positive impact on his health after he went through another injury-plagued year with the New Jersey Devils this past season.Blackwood, acquired by the Sharks from the Devils last week, began to practice yoga and is also trying out Pilates to help avoid some of the soft tissue injuries that have caused him to miss a significant amount of time since the start of the 2021-2022 season. Blackwood experienced an MCL sprain near the start of last year and later suffered a groin injury – maladies that allowed him to play only 22 games last season after he played in just 25 the year before.“I’ve been doing it for months now into this offseason and I feel good. I feel great,” said Blackwood, who had a 19-16-6 record and a .893 save percentage over the last two years. “I think it’s going to go a long way (in the) long term for me, so I’m just excited. Trying to s...

When a motorcycle police officer who was accompanying the three leaders peeled off to the right, she followed him — though the finish banner was in view straight ahead and a course monitor frantically tried to direct her toward it.Within seconds she realized her error, but by then the two other runners had passed her.Fotyen Tesfay won the race in 30 minutes, 43 seconds. Teferi was four seconds behind her and took third place, with a prize of $3,000.Tesfay — who, like Teferi, is Ethiopian — was asked through a translator about those final yards.“I saw the finish line,” she said. “At first I thought they didn’t really show us that well yesterday where the finish was. But after I saw that car turn...

SAN DIEGO (AP) — Her night’s work on the pitch finished, Alex Morgan walks into the post-match news conference in her San Diego Wave uniform, barefoot and with her left ankle still taped up, with 3-year-old daughter Charlie in tow.Morgan veers from soccer superstar to mom and back to soccer superstar.“Why is my tummy hurting?” Charlie interjects while Morgan is discussing the Women’s World Cup that begins this month in New Zealand and Australia. “I don’t know. Too many snacks,” her mother responds, pushing something out of her daughter’s reach, segueing between topics with the ease of taking a pass and putting the ball into the back of the net.Motherhood will bring a new element for Morgan’s fourth World Cup appearance. The American star, who is married to MLS player and San Diego-area native Servando Carrasco, gave birth to Charlie on May 7, 2020, 10 months to the day after she and the United States won their second straight World Cup.“I feel a little more calm going into my fourth...

MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Reliever Jorge López was reinstated by the Minnesota Twins on Tuesday after using his time on the 15-day injured list to address his mental health.The 30-year-old right-hander said he spent time talking to a psychologist after he had acted out in frustration during his struggles on the mound even before being placed on the injured list. As he hoped when he was first put on the IL, López returned quickly, needing just the minimal stay.“I’m excited. I’m really pumped,” López said Tuesday. “These 15 days, they were something really good for me, to take advantage to be here today and be back to where I want to be. I’m just glad to be back with the team.”López, a 2022 All-Star who was acquired at the trade deadline last year from Baltimore, didn’t allow an earned run in April, holding opponents to a .140 batting average over 12 innings and 13 appearances.He surrendered two earned runs in his first outing in May.

One month into toe injury, Aaron Judge begins hitting off a tee but says he’s unable to run

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:35:09 GMT

One month into his recovery from a torn ligament in his right toe, Aaron Judge has started hitting off a tee but said Tuesday he is still unable to run.“I got to be able to run,” Judge said before the Yankees continued a four-game series with the Orioles. “If I can run then I can play. Me running at 10 percent ain’t going to help anybody out there.”Judge said being able to put weight on his backfoot is the biggest factor in how fast he can return from an injury that is unusual for a baseball player.“Besides running it’s me being able to put 270 pounds on one leg when I’m hitting,” Judge said. “Once we build up that strength and get the pain and all that all out of there, we’re going to be in a good spot. I understand you’re going to deal with some pain coming back so it’s just about getting to a point where it’s tolerable and we’re not setting ourselves back here.”Monday marked one month since Judge got hurt when he crashed into the right-field wall at Dodger Stadium while making a ...

Trinity Rodman collected the ball just outside the penalty area and needed just one more touch to send it into the lower left corner of the net.About a month shy of her 20th birthday, she’d scored her first goal for the U.S. women’s national team.That was April 2022 in a blowout win over Uzbekistan. Now, a far greater stage awaits at the Women’s World Cup beginning later this month. On a U.S. team that will soon have to embrace a new generation of standouts, Rodman belongs on any list of possible breakout stars in Australia and New Zealand. But with those expectations comes a new kind of pressure. She’s dealt with that in various forms throughout her short career, and now she’s ready for this next challenge.“I’m so honored, proud, and just excited for this opportunity,” she said. “At this age, there’s so much time to accomplish things, but to experience it this early has been so amazing, and I’m just so excited.”The daughte...
