In local news, the San Diego Padres' starting pitcher, Hugh Darvish, is eyeing a potential
return to the mound this year.
According to Dennis Lin from The Athletic, Darvish threw live batting practice at a high
school in the San Diego area on Sunday.
Viewers noted that Darvish appeared healthy and in good form.
Having been out since May due to multiple injuries, Darvish has been working out and
throwing on his own since early July.
Initially placed on the restricted list on July 6, for a personal matter, Darvish now
seems closer to making his comeback.
Now on to sports.
New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers expressed regret over misleading comments he made about
his vaccination status during the COVID-19 pandemic.
In the unauthorized biography, Out of the Darkness, the mystery of Aaron Rodgers, releasing
next week, Rodgers admitted he should not have claimed to be immunized against the virus
in August 2021, while with the Green Bay Packers.
Rodgers later tested positive for COVID-19 in November 2021, revealing he was unvaccinated.
He explained his concerns about vaccine ingredients on the Pat McAfee Show.
Rodgers now feels he should have been more transparent about his status.
In local sports, the Padres at home beat the Pirates 2-1.
The Friars are at home for game two of the three-game series against the Pirates.
In top news, in the latest property report on San Francisco, the city's hotel industry
is facing a severe debt crisis, with visitor numbers plummeting since the pandemic.
Commercial mortgage-backed security loans in the hospitality sector saw delinquencies
soar to 41.6 percent in June, up from 5.7 percent in June 2023.
Hotel occupancy in June shows a 22 percent decline compared to 2019.
Major hotels like Hilton Park 55 and Hilton San Francisco Union Square have lost $1 billion
in value.
Hotel staffers are facing reduced hours, and many are seeking second jobs.
In business news, Johnson & Johnson has garnered enough support for a $6 billion, $500 million
settlement over allegations that its Telk products caused cancer.
Seventy-five percent of claimants backed the proposal, a key threshold for Johnson & Johnson's
third attempt to place a subsidiary in bankruptcy protection.
The company faces lawsuits from about 61,000 claimants alleging its products were contaminated
with asbestos.
Johnson & Johnson denies these allegations, asserting its products are safe.
The healthcare giant's Texas two-step bankruptcy maneuver aims to consolidate all claims into
one settlement, without requiring the company itself to file for bankruptcy.
In crypto movement, Bitcoin is just under $59,000, Ethereum is just under $2,700, and

And now, back to the show.
Let's talk science.
Yesterday, the Earth was hit by an intense solar storm, potentially bringing the northern
lights further south than usual, according to a U.S. agency.
The U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, NOAA, reported a level 4 geomagnetic
storm on a scale of 5.
This severe storm could make auroras visible as far south as Alabama and northern California.
Caused by coronal mass ejections, these storms disrupt Earth's magnetic field.
While they can create beautiful auroras, they also pose risks, such as degrading communications
and disrupting satellites.
The sun is near its peak activity in its 11-year cycle.
And in entertainment news, Tom Cruise performs a crazy stunt jump from a stadium roof during
the Olympics closing ceremony in Paris.
The Mission Impossible star descended from the top of the Stade de France on a cable,
landed on the arena floor, and mingled with athletes.
As part of the handoff to Los Angeles for the 2028 Games, Cruise attached the Olympic
flag to a motorcycle and exited through a cheering crowd.
In a pre-taped segment, he was seen riding through Paris to a plane, eventually appearing
at the Hollywood sign, where the Olympic rings replaced the double O's.
Well, alrighty folks, it's time for the quote of the day.
And today, our quote comes from the American humorist and writer, Bill Vaughn.
And he said, If the right side of the brain controls the left side of the body, then only
left-handed people are in their right minds.
And that's a wrap for this morning.
You can check out our Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok for some captivating aerial videos
with local news and the surf reports.
Have an amazing day, my good friends.
We'll see you tomorrow with another episode of Sunny Mornings in San Diego.
