Hamilton Visits MLB Docs After Alcohol Relapse

FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) – Rangers slugger Josh Hamilton visited doctors for Major League Baseball and the players’ association this week in New York following his admitted relapse with alcohol.

General manager Jon Daniels said Tuesday night that Hamilton was accompanied by Shayne Kelley, the team’s newly hired major league staff assistant whose job includes being in a support role for Hamilton.

The meetings with doctors were Monday, a week after Hamilton said he had “three or four” drinks during dinner in Dallas and then had more drinks later that evening.
