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.

PHOENIX -- The fabulous Golden State Warriors road show plays the Talking Stick Resort Arena on Sunday afternoon, when the two-time defending Western Conference champs take on the winless Phoenix Suns.After losing their season opener in Oakland to the San Antonio Spurs on Tuesday night, the Warriors picked up where they left off last season away from home, beating the New Orleans Pelicans 122-114 on Friday for their 63rd win in the last 83 road games.Included in that impressive run were 135-116 and 112-104 wins at Phoenix last season while the Warriors were going 34-7 on the road, recording seven more wins than any other team.Golden State has yet to find the range from beyond the 3-point arc this season, compiling a 26.2-percent success rate thats one of the worst in the league.But that didnt stop Golden States three top marksmen -- Kevin Durant (30), Klay Thompson (28) and Stephen Curry (23) -- from combining for 81 points in the win over New Orleans.Were going to have to get so much better, Warriors coach Steve Kerr said after the win. We have so much talent, but talent is not going to be enough. We have to be smart, have to be tough, just grow as a team.Fortunately, we have a long time to do it.The Suns have longer-term plans. Theyve had three teenagers on the court at the same time in their opening two losses, a dynamic that will change Sunday, when Devin Booker, the starting shooting guard, turns 20.Rookies Marquese Chriss (19) and Dragan Bender (19) are left to carry the flag for the teen-age crew, alonng with Derrick Jones, who has yet to see action in the regular season.ddddddddddddlready the Suns have seen improvement, going from a 113-94 home loss to the Sacramento Kings to a 113-110 overtime defeat on the road against the Oklahoma City Thunder.The first game, I couldnt really sleep on, Suns point guard Eric Bledsoe noted after Fridays game. But this game, we made great strides.You could say the same for last season. The Warriors thumped Phoenix by 19 and 25 points in their first two meetings, but then had to sweat out eight- and seven-point victories later in the season.A big reason for the Suns improvement last season was the development of Booker, who totaled six points on 2-for-9 shooting in 35 minutes in the blowouts, but then helped keep the Suns competitive with 15- and 18-point games in the final two meetings while logging a total of 79 minutes.Of course, those matchups occurred before Golden State signed Durant in the offseason.The gold-medal-winning forward already is living up to his two-year, $54.3 million contract, becoming the first Warrior since Wilt Chamberlain to debut for the team with two 20-point, 10-rebound efforts.History says Durants streak could be in jeopardy against the Suns. While hes scored 20 or more points in 24 of 30 lifetime meetings with Phoenix, hes recorded double-figure rebounds just six times, including once in three matchups last season. ' ' '
