ARLINGTON, Texas -- Texas Rangers reliever Jeremy Jeffress, twice suspended in the minor leagues for violating drug rules, was away from the team Friday following his overnight arrest in Dallas on a drunken driving charge.The club placed Jeffress on the restricted list before a game against Cleveland, but general manager Jon Daniels said he expected the former Milwaukee closer acquired in a trade Aug. 1 to be back with the team Saturday.Daniels said the AL West leaders were exploring the matter while Dallas police and Major League Baseball also conducted investigations.Im glad no one was hurt from it, Daniels said. I dont want to minimize the severity of what couldve happened. Beyond that, we need to get our arms around some more of the specifics regarding the due process.A Dallas police spokesman said an officer made a traffic stop at 2:24 a.m. Friday and arrested the 28-year-old Jeffress after detecting a sign of intoxication.Online records for the Dallas County jail show he was booked around 5:15 a.m. on a driving while intoxicated charge and that he was released on $500 bond. No attorney information was available for Jeffress.Daniels said he spoke to Jeffress after the arrest, as did Texas catcher Jonathan Lucroy, the primary player acquired in the trading deadline deal with the Brewers.I know he fights some stuff on the personal level, Lucroy said. Whenever youre dealing with stuff in your personal life like that, that becomes way more important than the game. And we have to help him get through whatever hes trying to get through, to help him be OK in life.The Brewers drafted Jeffress as the 16th selection overall in 2006. The right-hander was suspended for 50 games in 2007 and for 100 games in 2009, both times when he was in the minors.Jeffress made his major league debut with the Brewers in 2010 before getting traded to Kansas City that offseason. He also spent time with Toronto before Milwaukee brought him back as a free agent two years ago.The hard-throwing right-hander became the closer this season, recording 27 of his 28 career saves. As one of the setup men for Texas closer Sam Dyson, Jeffress has no record and no saves with a 4.00 ERA in nine appearances with the Rangers.The arrest came after the first game of a 10-game homestand that includes Cleveland, Seattle and Houston. The Rangers have a slight edge on the Indians for the best record in the AL, while the Mariners and Astros are their top pursuers in the AL West.Theres never a good time for something like this, Daniels said. I dont even want to put it into baseball terms. Im more concerned now in trying to get our arms around the situation and look at the real-life element first, baseball second.To fill Jeffress spot, Texas recalled left-hander Dario Alvarez from Triple-A Round Rock.Roy Oswalt Jersey . Dukurs winning time was 1 minute, 45.76 seconds, a quarter-second better than Russias Alexander Tretiakov. Lativas Tomass Dukurs was third, 1.41 seconds off the pace. Jon Montgomery of Eckville, Alta. Lance Mccullers Jr. Jersey . -- Jakob Silfverberg is making himself right at home with the Anaheim Ducks, scoring four goals in his first four games. https://www.cheapastros.com/1363o-randy-johnson-jersey-astros.html . Los Angeles star goalie survived those perilous gymnastics with no problem, and he eventually backstopped the Kings to a skid-snapping win. Quick stopped 27 shots in his return from a 24-game injury absence, Jeff Carter scored the tiebreaking goal with 7:55 to play, and the Kings snapped their five-game losing streak with a 3-1 victory over the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night. Carlos Beltran Astros Jersey . The 15th-ranked Canadian men lost the opening two games of their European tour: 19-15 to No. 17 Georgia and 21-20 to No. Don Larsen Jersey . The Dane followed up his first European Tour title last weekend with eight birdies and just a single dropped shot on Thursday for a one-stroke advantage over South Africas Allan Versfeld and Portugals Ricardo Santos.SEATTLE -- Jared Goff, Todd Gurley and the rest of the Los Angeles Rams who will make up the foundation of the franchise as it moves forward from a tumultuous first season back in Southern California got an up-close look Thursday night at what they eventually must overcome.Even with all its flaws, Seattle remains the class of the NFC West.The Seahawks clinched their third division title in the past four seasons with a 24-3 win over the Rams, adding another setback to an already lost season for Los Angeles. It was the capper to a crazy week for the Rams that started with the firing of head coach Jeff Fisher and concluded with a fifth straight loss.And while interim coach John Fassel soaked up his first opportunity to be an NFL head coach -- with his dad, former NFL coach Jim Fassel, in attendance -- he also was witness to the same mistakes that have led to a miserable season for his team.Los Angeles botched early opportunities to put a scare into the Seahawks, including Michael Thomas dropping a potential touchdown and Goff throwing behind wide-open Brian Quick in the end zone.One play after Goff and Quick couldnt connect, Gurley was stopped on fourth down. Seattle scored on the ensuing drive, and the Seahawks took control.Obviously, losing was disappointing, Fassel said. But standing out in the stadium and my dad was on the sideline and just looking around at the stands -- how quickly things change in basically 72 hours. From Monday morning to Thursday afternoon. Its just a lesson for me that you always have to be ready to adapt and take on responsibilities that you didnt anticipate. But its an experience that of course Ill never forget.Seattle was able to wrap up the division thanks mostly to a bounce-back effort from Russell Wilson. A week after one of the worst games of his career, with five interceptions in a 38-10 loss at Green Bay, Wilson was back to being a dynamic playmaker.He threw for 229 yards and three touchdowns, hitting Luke Willson on an 8-yard score, finding Doug Baldwin on a 1-yard TD late in the third quarter and the capper a 57-yard strike to Tyler Lockett on the second play of the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach.Lockett finished with seven catches for a career-high 130 yards.Its taken a complete team effort every time and its a special thing to be able to go to the playoffss five years in a row, Wilson said.ddddddddddddThat touchdown pass to Baldwin wasnt without controversy thanks to teammate Richard Sherman. Seattles star cornerback was livid on the sideline about the decision to have Wilson throw on first-and-goal from the 1, a pass intended for Jimmy Graham that was almost intercepted.Two plays later Baldwin caught the touchdown, but not before Sherman screamed toward coach Pete Carroll about the decision to throw.After the game, Sherman even referenced the Super Bowl when Wilsons pass from the 1 was intercepted by New Englands Malcolm Butler.I dont like it when we throw the ball at the 1, Sherman said. We throw an interception at the 1 -- luckily it went incomplete -- and I wasnt going to let them continue to do that.Here are some other things to know after Seattle snapped a three-game losing streak to the Rams:GOFFS GAMBLE: Goff scrambled for a 15-yard run in the fourth quarter and took a huge hit from Sherman along the sideline. Goff could have gone out of bounds sooner, but exposed himself to the hit. He was pulled to be checked for a concussion and never returned.Its a learning experience for me to make sure the kid gets down and gets out of bounds and protects the football and his body, Fassel said. He also knows that and this will teach him that thats what hes got to do.RYANS RUN: Seattle punter Jon Ryan got his moment of glory, pulling off a fake punt midway through the fourth quarter and running for 26 yards.The play ended in disaster. Ryan bobbled the ball as he sprinted into Rams territory and as he went to the turf, was hit in the helmet from the side and suffered a concussion.SCORING TITLE: The three points allowed by Seattle will give the Seahawks a chance going into the final two weeks of claiming the scoring defense title for a fifth straight year. The Seahawks are allowing 16.8 points per game and close the season against Arizona and San Francisco.GURLEYS ROLE: Gurleys lackluster second season continued. The running back was held to 38 yards on 14 carries, a total that included a 22-yard run. Gurley had five runs that went for no gain or negative yardage.---For more NFL coverage: www.pro32.ap.org and http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
