LOS ANGELES — Stability is a vital asset to any team’s pennant contention, and the Giants are running short at the worst time. Tuesday night found them missing shortstop Brandon Crawford, again, and delivering some bad news to outfielder Justin Maxwell. On the first day of roster expansion, the Giants purchased the contract of infielder Nick Noonan, the onetime Giants prospect who had been playing for Triple-A Sacramento after being released by the Yankees. Manager Bruce Bochy said... Читать дальше...

Head coach David Shaw wouldn’t say Tuesday whether the suspension is the reason Rector won’t start... Читать дальше...

Jackson, an eight-year player, became a free agent Monday when the Bills cut the respected team leader and fan favorite. The interest in Jackson emerged when Seattle learned that backup running back Robert Turbin suffered a significant high-ankle sprain in Saturday’s preseason game against San Diego.

1 Home detention: A white former police chief in South Carolina will have to spend a year under home detention but won’t have to serve any prison time in the 2011 shooting death of an unarmed black man. Prosecutors agreed Tuesday to drop a murder charge against 38-year-old Richard Combs, the former police chief of the small town of Eutawville, in exchange for his guilty plea to misconduct in office. Circuit Judge Edgar Dickson suspended a 10-year prison sentence for Combs as long as he completes his home detention and five years of probation.

The Transbay Joint Powers Authority has called off a much-anticipated live auction of a key piece of land after several of the developers, spooked in part by the meltdown of international stock markets, informed the agency they wouldn’t be submitting bids. While $200 million is less than 10 percent of the cost of the $2.1 billion transit center, it’s money that is badly needed because the project’s construction costs have been skyrocketing. Real estate sources said that several of the prequalified... Читать дальше...

When the 49ers acquired Jordan Devey in a trade with the Patriots two weeks ago, the offensive lineman noted it was the preferred way to leave an NFL employer. In a mildly shocking move, head coach Jim Tomsula said Devey, 27, would assume that starting spot, despite these numbers in two preseason games since joining the 49ers: zero starts, nine snaps with the first-team offense and 32 snaps overall. Devey (6-foot-6, 320 pounds), who entered the NFL as an undrafted free agent in 2013, made four... Читать дальше...

In a perfect fantasy world, my starting lineup this season would feature Andrew Luck, Adrian Peterson, Jamaal Charles, Odell Beckham, Jr., Calvin Johnson, Antonio Brown and Rob Gronkowski. That would be the same perfect world in which every lottery ticket I buy is a winner, Kate Hudson stalks me and every time I drink a six-pack, my six-pack gets more ripped. Alas, since our fellow owners are unlikely to cede the entire first round to us, we’ll simply have to work smarter to assemble the most dominant team in our league.

Los Angeles (Updated version) As he gathered his belongings and prepared to leave the Giants’ clubhouse, Justin Maxwell turned down an interview request.

Before going on, the complete list: Tim Hudson and Angel Pagan: off the disabled list and activated. Читать дальше...

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal judge granted class-action status Tuesday to a lawsuit in California against Uber over the payment of its drivers, upping the stakes for the ride-hailing company in the case.

Chris Bassitt’s shoulder soreness was minor enough that he required no MRI on Monday and, the starter said, he is hopeful he will be back soon, perhaps another week or two. “Everything is basically stable and the strength is there,” he said. Bassitt’s trouble is muscular, in the shoulder blade area; there is no structural damage. “We’re just going to let it calm down and see when he can throw a baseball again,” manager Bob Melvin said. According to Melvin, reliever Evan Scribner, who left Monday’s game with some discomfort... Читать дальше...

SACRAMENTO — In a room filled with the pleas of the dying, California lawmakers approved a bill that would allow doctors to prescribe lethal prescriptions to terminal patients wanting to hasten their own deaths. [...] after the Legislature returned from summer recess last month, lawmakers instead announced that the bill was renamed ABX2-15 and would be heard in a special session on health care instead of during the regular session. The move allowed the bill to bypass the Assembly’s regular session... Читать дальше...
