The Giants announced that right-hander Wilkin Ramos has been designated for assignment. That opens a 40-man spot for catcher Drew Cavanaugh. It was reported earlier today that Cavanaugh would be added to the roster. Ramos, 25, was just added to the roster at the start of this month. Shortly after being added to the roster, he made two big league appearances, allowing five earned runs in two innings. He was optioned back to the minors after that. He has since tossed 5 2/3 Triple-A innings, allowing nine earned runs. It seems that his rough month has led the team to…

Stay up to date with our Up First newsletter, sent every weekday morning. Far more people than previously known have dropped Affordable Care Act health insurance for 2026, according to data released Friday. Five million fewer people are currently enrolled in ACA marketplace plans compared to the record high reached last year. More than 1 million fewer people picked a plan for 2026, and then 4 million more either disenrolled or failed to pay their premiums and therefore dropped coverage. Prices in the market skyrocketed after President Trump and Republicans in Congress failed to extend extra financial help for enrollees…

Cape Verde have the chance to extend their World Cup journey tonight when they face Saudi Arabia in Houston. A win for Bubista’s men would see them through to the round of 32, either automatically or as one of the best third-placed finishers. Saudi Arabia, meanwhile, arrive under pressure after taking just one point from their opening two matches. A 1-1 draw with Uruguay on matchday one offered encouragement, but a 4-0 defeat to Spain exposed the gap in quality at this level and left them bottom of Group H. Only a win will give them any chance of progressing…

I brushed past a pine tree on a trail and felt nothing. Got back to the car, peeled off my jacket, and found a brown sticky patch on the shoulder that had not been there in the morning. By the time I noticed it the sap had been sitting on the fabric for three or four hours. I did the obvious thing: picked at it with my fingernail. That turned one concentrated spot into a smeared streak that covered twice the area. The problem was that I was treating it like a stain when it is not a stain. Tree…

It has been a hugely underwhelming World Cup so far for Uruguay and draws against Cape Verde and Saudi Arabia mean their hopes of progressing through to the round of 32 are in serious peril. Only a win against European champions Spain would guarantee them a place in the first knockout stage although a draw may be enough depending on results elsewhere. But with reports suggesting all is not well behind the scenes in the Uruguay camp, a positive performance tonight appears a long shot. Spain are all but through but need a win to guarantee top spot in Group…

France finished the World Cup group stage in imperious form on Friday night, thrashing Norway 4-1 in Boston to claim top spot in Group I with a perfect nine points from three games. Ousmane Dembele was the star of the show, bagging a stunning first-half hat-trick, while Desire Doue capped the performance with a header deep into stoppage time. The win came in emotionally charged circumstances, with head coach Didier Deschamps absent after returning to France to attend his mother’s funeral. Assistant Guy Stephan led the side in his place and was quick to acknowledge the difficult backdrop in his…

Following two successful Princess Diaries films, devoted fans have been clamoring for more — but does the tiara still fit? “There is a script for the third movie. There is a script,” Anne Hathaway, who played Princess Mia Thermopolis in the 2001 flick, revealed during a January 2019 appearance on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen. “I want to do it. Julie [Andrews] wants to do it. Debra Martin Chase, our producer, wants to do it.

In the first film, Hathaway’s Mia…

Catching prospect Drew Cavanaugh is in the Giants lineup tonight, per Alex Pavlovic of NBC Sports Bay Area. Fellow catcher Daniel Susac is heading to the injured list with a back injury. Cavanaugh is not officially on the 40-man roster yet, so the Giants will need to make a corresponding move to add him. Cavanaugh, 24, was a 17th-round pick of the club in 2023. He has since been climbing the minor league ladder without a lot of fanfare. Baseball America has never ranked him as one of the club’s top 30 prospects. He has some helium this year. Splitting…
