According to the Associated Press, a congressional committee will look into Sammy Sosa’s 2005 denial that he used illegal performance-enhancing drugs.
The hearing is infamous now. Mark McGwire, Sammy Sosa, Rafael Palmeiro and Curt Schilling sat at a table before congress on March 17, 2005 and awkwardly discussed baseball's steroid issues. Sosa vehemently denied usage at that time through a written statement, read by his lawyer: "To be clear, I have never taken illegal performance-enhancing drugs. I have never injected myself or had anyone inject me with anything." He is now in danger of facing possibly perjury charges. We'll keep you updated.

The New York Times, citing lawyers with knowledge of test results, reports that Sammy Sosa is among the players who tested positive for performance-enhancing drugs in 2003.
Though Sosa has been widely suspected of performance-enhancing drug use, this represents his first clear link to a positive test result. The 40-year-old, who announced his plans to retire from baseball earlier this month, is sixth on baseball's all-time home run list, with 609.

Sammy Sosa said Wednesday that he's ready to announce his formal retirement from baseball.
"I will calmly wait for my induction to the Baseball Hall of Fame," said a delusional Sosa. "I always played with love and responsibility and I assure you that I will not answer nor listen to rumors. If anything ugly comes up in the future, we will confront it immediately, but with all our strength because I will not allow anybody to tarnish what I did in the field."

Rangers GM Jon Daniels told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that he has no plans of pursuing free agent Sammy Sosa.
"He did a great job for us in 2007, but I'm not sure it's a fit for us this year," Daniels said. It's hard to see the 40-year-old Sosa realistically fitting in with most teams. He hit 21 homers and 92 RBI on top of a .252 average back in '07 with Texas, but he was a liability against righties.

Shin-Soo Choo
15-Day DL
Shin-Soo Choo (forearm) took batting practice against live pitching on Saturday.
The Rangers are very hopeful that Choo will be active for the start of the ALDS, and it's not inconceivable that he could return in time to get a few at-bats before the end of the regular season. He has been on the shelf since August 17 due to a fractured left forearm.

Prince Fielder
60-Day DL
According to FOX Sports' Ken Rosenthal, Prince Fielder (neck) is considered medically disabled and doctors will not clear him to play.
Fielder recently required his second neck surgery in the past 27 months. He isn't walking away from the game by choice, according to Rosenthal, so he's technically not retiring. This means that he'll receive the remainder of his contract in full. He's owed $20 million per season through 2020. The contract is partially ensured, so Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports that the Rangers will pay him $9 million per year during that time.

60-Day DL
Rangers recalled RHP Shawn Tolleson; placed him on the 60-day disabled list.
It's been an abysmal 2016 for Tolleson, who began the season as the Rangers' closer but went on to post a 7.68 ERA in 36 1/3 innings. He is officially done for the year.

Lucas Harrell
60-Day DL
Rangers transferred RHP Lucas Harrell from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list.
The move cleared a spot on the 40-man roster for waiver claim R.J. Alvarez. Harrell is now effectively ruled out for the season with a groin injury.
