Brett Anderson, one of baseball’s wittier social-media participants, offered this initially when asked about his three-inning simulated game Saturday: “Cliché, cliché, sarcasm, sarcasm.” Anderson’s bounce back from nerve irritation in his left arm, however, is no joke. He might be back as soon as Wednesday or Thursday at Baltimore, based on his 45 pitches of work Saturday and the A’s current rotation.

When Shanahan was hired in February 2017, the 49ers head coach was hopeful and fairly confident he would land Kirk Cousins, a Pro Bowl QB he worked with in Washington, during the 2018 offseason. But a funny thing happened on the way to a reunion: After the trade for Jimmy Garoppolo fell into the 49ers’ laps, he led them to a 5-0 finish and signed a $137.5 million contract extension in February.
