HOUSTON (AP) β Texas prosecutors say Minnesota Vikings star Adrian Peterson should be arrested anew after admitting during his court appearance on a child abuse charge that he had “smoked a little weed” while out on bond. The Montgomery County District Attorney’s Office said Peterson allegedly told a worker conducting his urinalysis exam during his court appearance Wednesday that he had smoked marijuana. Peterson is currently free on a $15,000 bond after he was indicted last month on a felony charge of injury to a child for using a wooden switch to discipline his 4-year-old son earlier this year in suburban Houston.
BALTIMORE (AP) β Orioles manager Buck Showalter says first baseman Chris Davis won’t be added to the team’s 25-man roster for the AL championship series against Kansas City. Davis still has five more games to serve in a 25-game suspension he received from Major League Baseball on Sept. 12 for testing positive for Adderall, a banned amphetamine. He could be put on the roster if the series goes at least six games and the Orioles lose a player due to injury.
