OAKLAND, Calif. -- Texas Rangers reliever Jeremy Jeffress has been reinstated by Major League Baseball and joined the team Friday after being placed on the restricted list following an arrest on a drunken driving charge last month.Jeffress was arrested Aug. 26., less than a month after being acquired in a trade with the Milwaukee Brewers before the Aug. 1 deadline.The right-handed reliever was at an inpatient rehab clinic for a little more than three weeks, Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said.Jeffress was also suspended twice in the minor leagues for violating baseballs drug rules.I just want to move forward from this, Jeffress said in the visitors dugout in Oakland. Im still a sick man, Im still working on my treatment. Coming from the program I was just in made me a better person, a wiser person.Daniels said it wasnt clear whether Jeffress would be on the teams postseason roster if they made it there. The teams magic number to clinch the AL West entering Friday night was one.Right now were in a little more of an evaluation phase, Daniels said. I expect therell be some combination of bullpen and maybe live (batting practice) before he gets into a game, then well see how much time is left before the end of the season.Jeffress, who turned 29 on Wednesday, expressed hope that hell be ready to pitch in the postseason.It could be a once-in-a-lifetime experience, but knowing that Ive got myself in a better state of mind, I know Ill be OK with it if Im not, I know going forward theres a next year, theres years to come, Jeffress said.

McCarthy, a player who played some games in the second tier for Wigan at the start of this season, would go on to shine inside Evertons midfield, outplaying the man he was brought in to replace, on one of the grandest stages in English football. On Saturday, it was fitting that Manchester Uniteds most recent dagger into the chest was delivered by Frenchman Yohan Cabaye, a wonderfully gifted central midfielder who put on an outstanding effort for Newcastle at Old Trafford.

After a first half in which he thought "the lid was on the basket," the Toronto Raptors coach watched his squad mount a second half surge to defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers 98-91. BEREA, Ohio -- After he was suspended from the NFL for a year, Josh Gordon didnt know if hed ever take the practice field for the Cleveland Browns again.On Monday, Gordon put on his pads beneath a brown No. 12 uniform for the first time in nearly two years, following his activation from the non-football injury list.I missed it, being back here, Gordon said. I was hoping for the best and I was blessed to get an opportunity to come back.The previous time Gordon practiced for Cleveland was Dec. 26, 2014. Less than two months later, he was suspended indefinitely for multiple violations of the NFLs drug policies.Even upon reinstatement into the league by Commissioner Roger Goodell on July 25, Gordon wasnt sure if the new Browns regime would want him to be part of the organization.He was still suspended for the first four regular-season games of 2016 and was bringing plenty of baggage back to the Browns.As it turns out, the teams front office and new coach Hue Jackson were ready to welcome him with a clean slate.Im grateful to them. I definitely am, Gordon said. Theyre not looking at my past and Im not trying to look back toward that. Were just ready to move forward.Jackson, after watching the receiver practice, was seemingly glad to have made that decision.It was great, Jackson said. It was good to watch him move around, catch the ball and be involved with his teammates. As I said, hes done a great job and were just working our plan.While Gordon was permitted by Goodell to practice with the team during training camp, a quad injury he suffered during individual offseason workouts prevented him from taking the field for the first two weeks of training camp.Now that hes healed enough to practice, Gordon thinks he can still be the same player that finished with 1,646 yards receiving during a Pro Bowl season in 2013.Im the same guy. Im definitely the same guy. Im confident in my abilities, Gordon said. I definitely am aware of what I can do and I think I can build upon that and do even better.Starting quarterback Robert Griffin III is well aware of the abilities that Gordon mentioned.Having played withh the receiver at Baylor, Griffin has seen Gordons skills first-hand and is excited to have the chance to work with him again.ddddddddddddWe had some great games, some great times together and were looking forward to really building that here in Cleveland, Griffin said. I know hell be ready when he steps out there.Gordons status for Thursdays exhibition game against the Atlanta Falcons is in the air. With just two days of practice before the game, its unlikely the receiver will play.Jackson feels that Gordon doesnt necessarily need to play this week. Its far more important for the Browns to be patient with the pass catcher rather than rush him back into action.Were just working the process, Jackson said. This is the next step in the process for him to get out, catch balls, start getting involved and running around a little bit.When he does get the opportunity to play in his first game since Dec. 21, 2014, Gordon will appreciate it more than ever.But in the meantime, hes just happy to be able to practice again.I think every day Im back, it means a lot to me, Gordon said. This opportunity we have here is like nothing Ive felt before or seen before and I really want to be a part of it.Game notes Rookie WR Corey Coleman (hamstring) returned to practice for the first time in almost two weeks, after getting injured in a scrimmage. ... LT Joe Thomas (back), QB Austin Davis (concussion) WR Andrew Hawkins (hamstring), WR Ricardo Louis (hamstring), DL John Hughes (personal) and DB KWaun Williams (personal) were all held out of practice on Monday. ... DL Jamie Meder took part in first-team reps for the Browns, as Jackson said the former un-drafted free agent earned them for good play in the teams first exhibition game against Green Bay. ... Mondays practice was the last open to fans and according to the Browns, the team drew nearly 18,000 attendees over nearly three weeks of training camp.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
