Josh Kinney News

The Seattle Mariners have signed 11 players to minor league contracts with invites to spring training, including infielder Luis Rodriguez and former San Francisco outfielder Darren Ford .

Kinney, who won a World Series Championship ring in 2006, struggled in the major leagues after undergoing reconstructive surgery on his elbow in 2007.

It has been a long way back for Josh Kinney, but well worth the wait after he posted career highs in innings and strikeouts in his first White Sox appearance Friday night.

Chicago White Sox pitcher Philip Humber was placed on the 15-day disabled list Friday, one day after getting struck above the right eye by a line drive hit by Cleveland's Kosuke Fukudome.

In exchange for a third of a season's worth of a declining and subsequently benched Pedro Feliz, the Astros might have found something.
