DALLAS - The Dallas Morning News reported last night that Texas Rangers outfielder and recovering drug addict Josh Hamilton had a relapse earlier this week when he drank alcohol at a bar.
The newspaper, citing unidentified "individuals familiar with the episode," reported that Hamilton was at a Dallas area bar Monday.
In a statement to the newspaper, the Rangers said they were "aware of a situation, but we don't have further comment at this time."
Hamilton, 31, was suspended for more than 3 years for drug and alcohol use while in the Tampa Bay organization. He missed the entire 2004-05 seasons. He won the AL MVP in 2010.
