The switch-hitter batted .285 with 17 homers and 85 RBIs in 156 games last season for the Chicago White Sox and Kansas City Royals.Lonnie Chisenhall, who began the season in right field, is expected to miss another month with a strained right calf.

BALTIMORE (AP) — Baltimore Orioles infielder Tim Beckham is considering surgery on the groin injury that sent him to the 10-day disabled list Wednesday.Beckham saw a specialist in Philadelphia on Wednesday, and must decide whether to have sports hernia surgery or attempt to rehabilitate the injury.It appears as if surgery is the most viable option, which would mean Beckham would be out for at least six weeks."You've got an opportunity to rehab him, be back and dealing with the same thing shortly thereafter," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said. "Or you can do something surgically and get it behind you. I think that's what they're considering right now."The procedure could take place as soon as Thursday, Showalter said.Beckham came to the Orioles before the July 31 non-waiver deadline last season and became an immediate contributor at shortstop and at the plate. He moved to third base this year and hoped to retain his success offensively, but was batting .179 with one homer and four RBIs.Showalter... [ More] |

RENTON, Wash. (AP) — Players have been altering bats for decades in a bid to improve their grip — adding pine-tar or some specialized grip tape, maybe shaving the handle slightly to make it thinner.Gradually, some players have started gravitating to a more revolutionary option offered by a company that set up shop deep in a warehouse in Renton, Washington. As the company's name suggests, Axe Bat has developed a bat that fundamentally changes the shape of the bat's handle so you hold it like an axe.Some major leaguers like the feel. Others have turned to the axe handle as an option after hand or forearm injuries.Red Sox right fielder Mookie Betts and Astros outfielder George Springer are the biggest proponents and the only two paid endorsers by the company. But there are many others — Jake Lamb, Dustin Pedroia, Carlos Correa, even Kris Bryant this season — who have used the bat handle at one time or another.Each has a different reason for turning to this style of bat, whether it's a desire...
