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

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	Geovany Soto D.L. Rangers placed C Geovany Soto on the 15-day disabled list with a right groin strain. Soto lasted just three games on the Rangers' active roster. He missed the first three-and-a-half months of the 2014 season following knee surgery and will now likely be sidelined through mid-August. Robinson Chirinos will again serve as the primary catcher in Texas. Jul 22
	2	Robinson Chirinos
	3	Chris Gimenez
1B	1	J.P. Arencibia
	2	Prince Fielder D.L. Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said Thursday that there's an outside chance Prince Fielder (neck) could take some swings before the end of the season. The first baseman isn't going to return this year after having surgery for cervical fusion of the C5-C6 discs in his neck back in May. But, it would be a nice step and help ease Fielder's mind going into the offseason if he's able to begin swinging the bat in September. Jun 27
2B	1	Rougned Odor
	2	Jurickson Profar D.L. Jurickson Profar (shoulder) won't play this season, reports the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Jeff Wilson. Profar is 10-14 days away from a throwing program, and he could play in the Arizona Fall League or winter ball. Fantasy owners should obviously continue to stash away the former No. 1 overall prospect in keeper formats. Jul 31
SS	1	Elvis Andrus
3B	1	Adrian Beltre
	2	Kevin Kouzmanoff D.L. Kevin Kouzmanoff will miss the rest of the season after requiring a second surgery on his back following a setback. He wasn't a great back to return this year, anyway, but a second back surgery makes his long-term future pretty cloudy. Kouzmanoff will likely be non-tendered this winter. Jul 31
LF	1	Shin-Soo Choo
	2	Jake Smolinski D.L. Rangers placed OF Jake Smolinski on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to July 22, with a bone bruise in his left foot. X-rays on Smolinski's foot came back clean, but he's sore enough to where the Rangers figured it would be best to give him a couple weeks off. Jerome Williams has taken his spot on the roster. Jul 25
	3	Jim Adduci
CF	1	Leonys Martin
	2	Engel Beltre D.L. Engel Beltre (leg) is scheduled to begin a rehab assignment on Thursday at Double-A Frisco. Beltre underwent surgery in early April for a fractured right tibia and has been in recovery mode through the first three months of the 2014 season. The outfielder will likely be sent to Triple-A once he's healthy. Jun 25
RF	1	Alex Rios
	2	Daniel Robertson
DH	1	Mitch Moreland D.L. Rangers transferred 1B Mitch Moreland from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. It's a procedural move to clear a 40-man roster spot for reliever Nate Adcock, who was called up Thursday in the wake of the Joakim Soria trade. Moreland underwent season-ending ankle surgery near the end of June. Jul 24
Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	Yu Darvish
	2	Derek Holland D.L. Derek Holland threw 33 pitches over two scoreless innings in his first rehab start with Double-A Frisco on Wednesday. Holland didn't allow a hit over his two innings, walking two while striking out four. His next start will come Monday with Triple-A Round Rock. Holland will continue to build up his endurance and his pitch count with an eye on a late August return. Jul 30
	3	Matt Harrison D.L. Rangers transferred LHP Matt Harrison from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. It was a procedural move to open a 40-man roster spot for Brad Snyder. Harrison underwent spinal fusion surgery last week and might never pitch in the majors again. Jun 10
	4	Colby Lewis
	5	Nick Tepesch Sidelined Nick Tepesch (knee) has been pushed back in the rotation. Meaning he won't make his scheduled start in the Rangers' three-game series against the Indians. Tepesch left his outing Saturday against the A's with soreness in his left knee. It's not a major concern. Jul 29
	6	Nick Martinez
	7	Miles Mikolas
	8	Jerome Williams
	9	Martin Perez D.L. Rangers transferred LHP Martin Perez from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. Perez underwent Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery on Monday. He will be out until mid-2015. May 20
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Neftali Feliz
	2	Shawn Tolleson
	3	Alexi Ogando D.L. Alexi Ogando (elbow) will remain shut down for three more weeks. Ogando received a second opinion from Dr. James Andrews, who confirmed the original diagnoses that the righty is dealing with inflammation and ligament "wear and tear" in his right elbow. He'll try to return sometime next month. Jun 26
	4	Neal Cotts
	5	Tanner Scheppers D.L. Tanner Scheppers (elbow) said Thursday that the likelihood of him returning this season is "very slim." Scheppers is two weeks into a six-week shutdown period for right elbow inflammation. "You kind of feel a little bit worthless just sitting on the DL, just watching on the sidelines," Scheppers said. "The likelihood of me coming back this year is very slim. It's not looking all that great, which is frustrating, but I have to look at the big picture things sometimes and get healthy." Jun 26
	6	Ryan Feierabend
	7	Nate Adcock
	8	Roman Mendez
	9	Scott Baker
	10	Pedro Figueroa D.L. Rangers transferred LHP Pedro Figueroa from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disabled list. Figueroa is done for the season following Tommy John reconstructive elbow surgery. Moving him to the 60-day DL opened up a 40-man roster spot for Scott Baker. May 7
