SANTA CLARA, Calif. -- After a pair of injuries left them thin at quarterback, the San Francisco 49ers moved to add some depth Tuesday, signing veteran Christian Ponder.The team announced that it signed Ponder to a one-year deal. Ponder replaces Thad Lewis, the quarterback who suffered a torn left ACL?in Sundays preseason opener, on the roster. The 49ers officially added Lewis to the injured reserve list, ending his season.After the news of Lewis injury broke Monday, Niners coach Chip Kelly and quarterbacks coach Ryan Day said the team would explore options to bring in another arm.We just lost Thad, which is disappointing for us, Day said. We really felt like we were creating depth at the position and then we lose Thad, so its an obstacle weve got to overcome. But thats part of coaching in the NFL. Nobody else cares, so although it bothers us, we have to come up with a new plan moving forward.That plan led them to Ponder, the former No. 12 overall pick of the Minnesota Vikings in the 2011 NFL draft. Ponder joins Blaine Gabbert and Colin Kaepernick as quarterbacks on the roster from that draft.In Minnesota, Ponder played in 38 games with 36 starts, throwing for 6,658 yards, 38 touchdowns and 36 interceptions in four seasons. He had brief stops with Oakland and Denver last year but did not appear in a game.Adding Ponder also provides the Niners with needed practice depth, as Kaepernick has been dealing with tightness in his right shoulder. Kaepernick has not thrown a football since last Wednesdays practice at Kezar Stadium.Kelly has said the issue isnt believed to be long-term; Kaepernicks status remains day-to-day. Ponder joins Gabbert and rookie Jeff Driskel as the teams healthy quarterbacks.The 49ers were scheduled to travel to Denver on Tuesday afternoon for a pair of joint practices with the Broncos on Wednesday and Thursday before Saturday nights second exhibition game.

SAN DIEGO -- Just after being named a late addition to the National League All-Star team in July, left-handed pitcher Drew Pomeranz talked about pitching at Petco Park in San Diego, which was hosting the All-Star Game.Who doesnt like pitching here? Pomeranz said. Its a beautiful ballpark. Its a great field that slightly favors a pitcher. The weather is as good as you can find in the major leagues. Its a great place to pitch.Of course, the 27-year-old was a Padre back then and was experiencing something of a breakthrough season.He was 8-7 in 17 starts at the All-Star break with a 2.47 ERA that ranked among the top 10 in the National League. He had 115 strikeouts in 102 innings with a .184 opponents batting average. He was 4-3 with a 2.64 ERA in eight starts at Petco Park.As he prepared for his first All-Star appearance, Pomeranz was looking forward to the second half of the season.Then, at the end of the All-Star break, Pomeranz was traded by the Padres to the Boston Red Sox for right-handed pitcher, Anderson Espinosa, who immediately became the top-rated prospect in the San Diego organization.Pomeranz wasnt done with Petco Park, though. On Monday afternoon, he will make his ninth start of the season at Petco Park -- this time pitching for the Red Sox.Coincidentally, Pomeranz will be matched against the pitcher -- right-hander Edwin Jackson -- whom the Padres tabbed to take his place in the rotation.Pomeranz is 2/3 with a 4.06 ERA in nine starts since joining the Red Sox.Jackson is 3-4 with a 6.34 ERA in eight starts with the Padres after going 0-1 with a 5.91 ERA in eight relief outings for the Miami Marlins earlier this year. The 32-year-old veteran is 0-3 over his past three starts while giving up 18 runs on 23 hits (including four homers) in just 11 2/3 innings.Other than Pomeranz and Jackson, there are few paarallels between the Red Sox and the Padres.ddddddddddddA 1-0 loss to the As in Oakland on Sunday dropped the Red Sox (76-70) a game behind the Toronto Blue Jays (77-59) at the top of the three-way battle for the American League East title. The Baltimore Orioles (74-62) sit two games behind the Red Sox.Meanwhile, the Padres (56-80) slipped back into fifth place in the National League West during a 3-6 road trip. They lost 7-4 to the Dodgers in Los Angeles on Sunday.While the Red Sox are playing to reach the playoffs, the Padres are playing to avoid one of the worst seasons in franchise history. San Diego is18-29 since the All-Star break -- although it finishes the season with 17 of its final 26 games at home after three straight long trips to the Eastern time zone.Half the Padres remaining games are against Boston, the Dodgers and the San Francisco Giants, teams needing wins to reach the playoffs.The goal is to play hard and finish strong, first-year Padres manager Andy Green said recently. This is an opportunity. Were going to be looking at a lot of new players with an eye on next season.However, the focus for the next three days will be more on the Red Sox than the Padres. Red Sox banners began popping up on establishments around Petco Park over the weekend. A number of fans adorned in Boston attire could be seen walking through San Diegos famed Gaslamp District even before the Red Sox arrived in town.We planned this vacation for a year, Greg Oliver of Boston said Sunday as he walked outside of Petco Park. Weve spent a week here and will see the three Red Sox wins before returning home. Were hoping we can make this feel like a home game.Certainly Pomeranz will feel as if he is home.
