Texas Rangers DH Khris Davis to miss start of season due to quad injury

tmpdaae5978-bef3-4475-92ff-6ea8c64b3391-jpg

The Texas Rangers will be opening their 2021 MLB season without DH Khris Davis due to his left quadriceps injury. Rangers general manager Chris Young said Wednesday that Davis will miss three to four weeks due to the strain, which occurred Tuesday when Davis ran out a bunt single in a spring training game against the Los Angeles Angels.

Rangers manager Chris Woodward told reporters Wednesday: “We’ll see how it works out, and obviously we have a few more roster decisions to make. I don’t know for sure how we’re going to move on from here, but we still got some more decisions to make.”

The Oakland Athletics traded the 33-year-old Davis to the Rangers in February. Davis hit .200 with two home runs and 10 RBIs in 30 games last season for the Athletics, and has hit at least 42 home runs in each season from 2016 through 2018. He hit an MLB-best 48 homers in 2018.

President Biden assigns Vice President Harris to lead the effort to ‘stem migration flow’ from border

tmp0e6f3a5d-5a90-4ddd-9eef-ceb2bae492ff-jpg

On Wednesday, President Joe Biden said he was assigning Vice President Kamala Harris to lead his administration’s effort to stem migration from Central America, calling her “the most qualified person to do it.”  Biden said Harris would “lead our efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle” — El Salvador, Honduras and Guatemala — which he said, “are going to need help in stemming the movement of so many folks — stemming the migration to our southern border” as the United States deals with a surge of unaccompanied minors crossing its southern border.

Senior administration officials said Wednesday that Harris will work along two tracks — “stemming the flow of irregular migrants to the U.S.” in the near term, and in the longer term, establishing a “strategic partnership” with Mexico and Northern Triangle countries “based on respect and shared values, to enhance prosperity, combat corruption and strengthen the rule of law.”

Harris said Wednesday “there’s no question that this is a challenging situation” and that she planned to engage with foreign leaders, civil society and the private sector. Harris added: “I also look forward to working with members of Congress who I think share our perspective on the need to address root causes for the migration that we’ve been seeing.”
