Astros’ Alvarez could miss 4 weeks with oblique strain

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:13:59 GMT

HOUSTON (AP) — Astros slugger Yordan Alvarez could miss at least four weeks with a right oblique strain.General manager Dana Brown said Wednesday that Alvarez had an MRI, which confirmed the diagnosis.“That’s why we have confidence that he will be back some time in the four-plus week period because the MRI showed a strain,” Brown said. “He’s coming through nicely. He feels pretty good. There’s no pain, there’s no pain when he coughs. Hopefully, that’s a good sign.”Brown called oblique injuries “tricky.”“After two weeks, we will have a little more information on how he feels,” Brown said. “At the three-week mark, we should definitely know more. I hate to kick the can down the road, but at the end of the day, sometimes you have to give that oblique time. Sometimes it heals faster than others, and I think he’s going to be okay. It’s looking like it’s going to be four weeks, but I think he should be fine.”Alvarez, who is second in the majors with 55 RBIs, was placed on the 10-day injure...

Met Opera box office has slight uptick in 2nd season after pandemic

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:13:59 GMT

NEW YORK (AP) — The Metropolitan Opera saw a slight uptick in ticket sales in its second season following the coronavirus pandemic.The Met sold 66% of tickets during the season that ended Saturday, up from 61% during the 2021-22 season.Sales were lower than budgeted because of a cyberattack in mid-December that shut down the company’s website and box office for nine days and left operations limited for several weeks. Without the shutdown, the Met projected 68% attendance. The opera’s available dollar capacity, which takes into account the impact of discounts, ticked up a percent last year to 57%.Still, figures are down from 75% attendance in 2018-19 and a projected 76% for 2019-20 before the mid-March shutdown caused by COVID-19.“We have seen improvements,” Met general manager Peter Gelb said Wednesday. “The Hours,” the Kevin Puts’ opera featuring Renée Fleming, Joyce DiDonato and Kelli O’Hara sold 86% of tickets and had four sellouts among eight performances...

Analyzing Bradley Beal and other potential star Knicks targets

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:13:59 GMT

It’s trade season.The draft, set for June 22, is often a hot time for big NBA moves, which was why the timing of Wednesday’s news involving Bradley Beal was unsurprising.According to multiple reports, the Wizards are working with Beal’s reps for a potential trade. And given the circumstances, it’s understandable. The Wizards, a middling team for years with Beal as the star, just hired a team president, Michael Winger, who could shape a roster with a rebuild. New executives love rebuilds because they extend timelines before pressure from ownership is applied.Dealing Beal, who averaged over 31 points just two seasons ago, gives Winger the clean slate. It’s not ideal for the Wizards after signing Beal to a mega-contract just a year ago, but the alternative — running it back with a roster that fell into the draft lottery in 2023 — also isn’t appealing.Which brings us to the Knicks.Team president Leon Rose, as we’ve written exhaustive...

Medical suicide legislation gets new life under new governor

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:13:59 GMT

Advocates in support of a proposal before the state Legislature which would allow terminally ill patients with less than six months to live access to medically assisted suicide say that sentiments have shifted among voters who rejected a similar idea just over a decade ago.Armed with new polling that shows the vast majority of Bay State voters support a medically assisted suicide proposal, advocates of the End of Life Options Act, or H. 2246 and S.1331, were at the State House Wednesday for a lobbying day, telling any lawmaker that would listen that the time is ripe for the Commonwealth to join other jurisdictions where patients and doctors are provided legal protections for end of life care.“This legislation would allow mentally capable, terminally ill adults to have the option to obtain prescription medication they could decide to take to gently end their suffering if it becomes unbearable,” a spokesperson wrote ahead of the lobbying day. “Nearly three out of four Massachusetts vo...

Mike Preston’s Ravens observations on Ronnie Stanley, Todd Monken, wide receivers and more | COMMENTARY

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:13:59 GMT

Ravens left tackle Ronnie Stanley said Wednesday he could return to his Pro Bowl form this year because he has finally had a full offseason to work out.Stanley, 29, has missed extensive playing time the past three seasons because of a left ankle injury that has required multiple surgeries. He signed a five-year, $98.75 million extension with the Ravens in October 2020 but suffered a devastating injury two days later.Stanley played the 2021 season opener before it was determined that the ankle was not fully healed and required another surgery. In 2022, he missed the first month of the season and two additional games.This offseason, he didn’t have to concern himself with rehabilitating the ankle, just returning to his usual workouts.“A majority of my time the past couple of years have been spent on rehab,” said Stanley, a 2016 first-round draft pick. “About 80% of that offseason time [had been focused on rehab] and probably 20% on training. So, being able to re...
