ARLINGTON, Texas - Josh Hamilton is hoping one step back will lead to a couple of steps forward with his ailing right shoulder. The Los Angeles Angels outfielder was out of the lineup for a sixth straight game Wednesday night against the Texas Rangers after waking up with soreness a day after two more injections. Hamilton hasnt played since leaving a game in the eighth inning last Thursday at Minnesota. He had a cortisone injection after that game. The 2010 AL MVP said he hoped the soreness was from the injections "being in the right spot" and that he would see dramatic improvement Thursday. Hamilton has been limited to 88 games because of injuries in his second season with the AL West-leading Angels. He is hitting .263 with 10 homers and 44 RBIs. Hamilton, who missed almost two months with a torn ligament in his left thumb and more time because of a sore left knee, said he wasnt sure how much another lengthy absence would affect him. "We always go back to this, but if I was raking the last two years it wouldnt be a problem," Hamilton said. "Then again, I missed almost four years and came back and raked. I cant tell you until I come back and starting playing." Manager Mike Scioscia said his level of concern had already gone up Tuesday because he was expecting Hamilton back then. Scioscia said there wasnt a target date for a return. The Angels finish a three-game series in Texas on Thursday and start their final homestand of the season on Friday against Houston. They started the day eight games ahead of Oakland in the division. Cheap Yeezy Free Shipping .

Brossoit played last season in the ECHL and finished with Edmontons AHL farm team in Oklahoma City.Jets forward Evander Kane had a breakaway as well in the first and earned a penalty shot on a hook but hit the crossbar. Wednesday night was the debut of the Kane, Mark Scheifele, Blake Wheeler line.Nugent-Hopkins took the first penalty of the game late in the first period and the Jets opened the second with 1:19 left in their power play. Matt Halischuk cashed in at 1:11 off a pass from Kane as he snapped the puck past Brossoits glove.We definitely rope-a-doped em. I mean early, it seemed like they were playing in our end quite a bit, said Eberle.Galiardi said the Jets gave it away after their strong start.It was more what we did, not what they did, said the off-season acquisition from the Calgary Flames.Every chance they had and every goal they got was basically our doing. We gave them the opportunities and thats the kind of team they are. Theyve got a lot of sskill and if you give them those two-on-ones and odd-man rushes theyre going to score.ddddddddddddIt was Edmontons second pre-season win. The Jets are now 1-1.The Oilers made Brossoit work pretty hard in the second a€” at one point the Jets were ahead 17-8 on shots a€” but Nugent-Hopkins finally got the Oilers on the board with a slick shot as he rushed past Jets defenceman Jacob Trouba to beat Michael Hutchinsons glove.Yakimov tied the game off a cross-net pass from Vladimir Tkachev at 16:03 and with just nine seconds left in the period Tkachev fed Schultz in front of the Winnipeg net to make it 3-2. The Oilers ended up outshooting the Jets 12-10 in the second.As a measure of how the complexion of the game changed, the Jets had managed only two shots in about 20 minutes of hockey midway through the third period while the Oilers had 20 in the same time span.Tyler Rimmer relieved Brossoit for the third period but Hutchinson stayed in the Winnipeg net.The Jets finally regained some momentum but Halischuk hit the crossbar with just over three minutes left on what could have been the tying goal.Despite the loss, Winnipeg coach Paul Maurice liked what he saw from some of the young players he had in the lineup.I think Nik Ehlers showed flashes in each of the two games . . . I really liked Nicky Petan in the middle, in the centre face-off . . . Adam Lowrys just smart kind of wherever he goes. . . and (Josh) Morrissey, another step better.He said overall they were too happy with themselves midway through the second, stopped doing what had been working until then and paid for it.Thats human nature.Maurice also liked the way Kane and Scheifele helped kill penalties. The teams each took three but the Jets managed to kill all of theirs without giving up a goal.Notes a€” The Jets sent six more of their young prospects back to their junior teams Wednesday: Axel Blomqvist, Eric Comrie, Chase De Leo, Jan Kostalek, Jimmy Lodge and Nelson Nogier.Follow @tsedmonds on Twitter ' ' '
