Veteran outfielder Josh Hamilton has been cleared to begin baseball activities and will soon work out for the Texas Rangers with an eye toward signing a minor league contract with the team for 2017, an MLB source confirmed to ESPN on Thursday.Hamilton, 35, was a five-time All-Star with the Rangers from 2008 to 2012 and won the American League MVP award in 2010. He had reconstructive surgery on his left knee in June, and the Rangers placed him on unconditional release waivers on Aug. 23. The Rangers had to make the move before the end of August or they wouldnt have been able to bring back Hamilton until after May 15, 2017, under MLB rules.General manager Jon Daniels told the The Fort Worth Star-Telegram on Wednesday that Hamilton will work out before Christmas and could sign a minor league contract shortly after that if his audition goes well.Hamilton, selected No. 1 overall in the 1999 first-year player draft by Tampa Bay, endured a lengthy struggle with drug and alcohol abuse before making his major league debut with the Cincinnati Reds in 2007. He ascended to stardom in Texas before leaving to sign a five-year, $125 million contract with the Los Angeles Angels in December 2012.Hamilton was a major disappointment on the field before suffering a drug and alcohol relapse in Los Angeles, and the Angels agreed to pay most of the $80 million left on his contract when they traded him to Texas in April 2015. Los Angeles is on the hook for $22 million of the $24 million owed Hamilton next season, with the Rangers responsible for the other $2 million.Hamilton has a chance to win a job in Texas if he can summon some of his old skills. The Rangers projected depth chart consists of Nomar Mazara in left field, Carlos Gomez in center and Shin-Soo Choo in right, with Joey Gallo, Jurickson Profar and Ryan Rua set to compete at first base and a variety of options available to manager Jeff Banister in the DH slot.A source familiar with Hamiltons rehab said the outfielder is very optimistic about the condition of his knee post-surgery.

This should be celebrated because it will not always be this way. With the amount of money given to players by their clubs these days, it is a wonder that so many of those teams allow the sport to continue to take away many of their assets so they can play for a different team in the middle of their season.LIVERPOOL, England -- Simon Mignolet saved a late penalty on his Liverpool debut to secure a 1-0 win over Stoke in the Premier League on Saturday, with Daniel Sturridge grabbing the winner to prove theres life to the teams strike-force after Luis Suarez. Sturridge smashed home from 25 yards in the 37th minute to score the first goal of the season in the English top flight, but Stoke was given a golden opportunity to snatch an undeserved point when Daniel Agger handled the ball in the area in the 88th minute. Jon Walters penalty was saved by Mignolet low down to the goalkeepers right, however, and Liverpool could celebrate its first opening-day win at Anfield since 2001. "You always pick the corner to go to and today I picked the right one," said Mignolet, who had some nervous moments between the posts in his first competitive start for Liverpool since joining from Sunderland in June. "I kept a clean sheet, which is the important thing. "We didnt manage to get a second goal but we deserved to win." The unsettled Suarez watched the game from an executive box high in the stands as he served the fifth match of a 10-game ban for biting Chelsea defender Branislav Ivanovic during a league fixture last season. He may not have played even if he had been available after going public recently with his desire to leave Liverpool, in the wake of an offer of more than 40 million pounds ($62.5 million) from Arsenal. Suarezs attitude has upset Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers but the strikers return to first-team training Friday suggested their relationship has been patched up. The Uruguay international attended this match, taking to the field an hour before kickoff in his Liverpool sttrip and carrying daughter Delfina in his arms to a ripple of applause.dddddddddddd He then took his place in the stands with his family and looked on as Sturridge collected a short pass from Iago Aspas -- another debutant, alongside Mignolet and Kolo Toure -- and fired a shot through the legs of defender Robert Huth and into the corner of the net. Stoke was showing no discernible change in style or approach under new manager Mark Hughes than there was under old boss Tony Pulis, who left early in the off-season, and Liverpool should have been many more goals ahead by halftime. As was often the case last season, Liverpool created a string of chances but a mixture of poor finishing and inspired goalkeeping by Asmir Begovic kept Stoke in the game. In the first half, Toure headed against the crossbar, and Jordan Henderson and Jose Enrique were also denied, while Philippe Coutinho curled just wide and Henderson struck a shot against the post after the break. At the other end, Huth volleyed against the bar in the eighth minute but the visitors were chasing shadows for much of a one-sided game. Despite all of Liverpools dominance, though, it needed Mignolets penalty save -- and then a block from the rebound off Kenwyne Jones -- to preserve all three points. "Its always a concern as a manager when you dominate the game so much and create so many chances but today we only scored one," Rodgers said. "I was so, so pleased for the players because they have worked tirelessly and starts our actual season on three points. "The fluidity and flow of our game was good, our passing and combination play was excellent. I thought our intensity from the off was outstanding." ' ' '
