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. Thu, Jun 18, 2009 08:52:00 AM

2B	1	Rougned Odor
	2	Phil Gosselin
SS	1	Elvis Andrus
	2	Hanser Alberto 60-Day DL Hanser Alberto is scheduled to undergo surgery on his right shoulder Monday. Alberto has been sidelined since spring training due to lingering shoulder discomfort. The 24-year-old infielder can probably be ruled out for the remainder of the season. Jun 16
3B	1	Adrian Beltre
LF	1	Joey Gallo 7-Day DL Rangers placed INF/OF Joey Gallo on the 7-day concussion disabled list. Gallo suffered a concussion and a nasal fracture when he collided with teammate Matt Bush on Sunday afternoon. It sounds like the Rangers believe he will be ready for activation when first eligible on August 29. Phil Gosselin has been recalled from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding roster move. Aug 22
	2	Delino DeShields
	3	Ryan Rua
CF	1	Carlos Gomez 10-Day DL Carlos Gomez (shoulder) expects to be activated from the disabled list on Saturday, the first day he's eligible. Gomez had minor surgery to remove a cyst from his right shoulder. He's slated to throw, shag flys and possibly swing a bat on Tuesday. It's unclear whether he might need a short rehab assignment before returning, but either way it sounds like fantasy owners will get him back later this week. Aug 21
RF	1	Nomar Mazara
	2	Drew Robinson
DH	1	Shin-Soo Choo
	2	Prince Fielder 60-Day DL Rangers placed DH Prince Fielder on the 60-day disabled list. Fielder's professional baseball career ended last season due to serious neck issues. He has a new food competition show coming out in March on Hulu and Netflix called "Fielder's Choice." Feb 14

S	1	Cole Hamels
	2	Martin Perez
	3	Andrew Cashner
	4	A.J. Griffin
	5	Tyson Ross
	6	Chi Chi Gonzalez 60-Day DL Chi Chi Gonzalez (elbow) will undergo Tommy John surgery next week. Gonzalez had been working his way back from a slight UCL tear in his throwing elbow but Tommy John surgery became necessary after a recent setback. His surgery will be performed by Dr. Keith Meister. This will knock Gonzalez out for all of 2017 and probably most of next year as well. The right-hander holds a 4.54 ERA over 17 big league appearances including 13 starts. Jul 22
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Jose Leclerc
	2	Alex Claudio
	3	Keone Kela 10-Day DL Keone Kela (shoulder) remains shut down from throwing. Kela has been bothered by shoulder discomfort since late June and he landed back on the disabled list August 8, retroactive to August 5, after yet another flareup. It's beginning to look like he might not return this season. Aug 22
	4	Matt Bush 10-Day DL Rangers placed RHP Matt Bush on the 10-day disabled list with a right knee MCL sprain. Bush is also experiencing concussion symptoms after colliding with teammate Joey Gallo while chasing a pop-up. It's unclear at this point how long he'll be sidelined. Aug 21
	5	Jason Grilli
	6	Tony Barnette
	7	Jake Diekman 60-Day DL Jake Diekman (colon) will make a rehab appearance for Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday. His outing will be capped at 15 pitches. Diekman has yet to pitch in the majors this year after undergoing surgery to rebuild his colon. The hard-throwing 30-year-old will serve as a left-handed specialist when healthy. Aug 16
