Blue Jays’ House released from hospital

Toronto Blue Jays reliever T.J. House has been released from the hospital, a day after he was hit in the head by a line drive during a spring training game.

House arrived at the ballpark from the hospital during Saturday’s game between the Blue Jays and Philadelphia Phillies in Dunedin, Fla.

“Obviously, it was definitely a rough day yesterday,” House said. “Whirlwind experience. And I’m doing a lot better than I thought I would be doing today.”

House was taken off the field in an ambulance Friday. He was struck in the ninth inning of a game against the Detroit Tigers and taken to Lakeland Regional Medical Center. Test results were normal and he was held overnight for observation.

Kang on restricted list: Pittsburgh infielder Jung Ho Kang was placed on the restricted list by the Pirates while he’s delayed in South Korea by visa issues related to a recent DUI arrest.

Kang received an eight-month suspended prison sentence last week after a DUI arrest in December, his third such arrest in South Korea. The sentence was suspended for two years.

Players on the restricted list don’t count on either the 25- or 40man rosters, and they’re eligible to be paid.

Price tests elbow: Red Sox left-hander David Price took a first step in his recovery from a sore elbow ahead of schedule, throwing into a net in a batting cage.

Boston manager John Farrell said Price made 25 easy tosses Saturday before a Red Sox split squad played the Tampa Bay Rays.
