ANAHEIM, Calif. --While the Los Angeles Angels have long since been eliminated from playoff contention, the Houston Astros visit Anaheim on Friday with the sting of elimination still fresh.Baltimores 4-0 victory over Toronto on Thursday night made it official, making the Astros final three regular-season games against the Angels this weekend meaningless.Its a disappointing way to end the 2016 season for the Astros, especially after breaking through last season and reaching the American League wild-crd game, where they beat the Yankees before losing in the AL Division Series to eventual World Series champion Kansas City.However, the Astros and Angels offer something attractive to the fans -- Jose Altuve and Mike Trout.Altuve seems to have his second career AL batting championship locked up, taking a .337 average into the series, well ahead of Bostons Mookie Betts, who ranks second at .320.I dont know if Im going to win it, Altuve told MLB.com. We still have three games left, and Ive got to hit.That shouldnt be a problem considering how hes hit against the Angels this season. Hes hitting .446 with four home runs, 12 RBI, a .479 on-base percentage and .692 slugging percentage against them, and hes been even better at Angel Stadium -- hitting .560.Altuve is an MVP candidate along with Trout, who is expected to be in the lineup despite a scary moment in Wednesdays game against Oakland.Trout was hit on left shoulder blade by a 96-mph fastball thrown by Oakland reliever John Axford. Trout left the game but was confident he would be OK.Its sore, hit me right on the bone, Trout said. But weve got three games left, so Im going to grind it out.Precautionary X-rays taken Thursday were negative, and Trout still has a chance to reach a couple of key statistical milestones.Trout enters the series with 29 homers, 99 RBI and 27 stolen bases. He also leads the majors in runs (123), walks (113), and on-base percentage (.441).Angels designated hitter Albert Pujols, however, could be done for the season. Pujols has been bothered for the past month with plantar fasciitis in his right foot. He had the same injury in his left foot in 2013, and he played in a career-low 99 games.Even if he is done for this season, Pujols had a solid season at age 36, hitting .268 with 31 homers and 119 RBI in 152 games, showing he still can be a force in the heart of the lineup.You couldnt have asked for more than he did this year for us, Angels manager Mike Scioscia told MLB.com. Theres no doubt that the talent is there, and its real. He had an incredible season for us.I think if you look at his bat speed, his exit velocity, all the analytics, you look at his swing path, its all there.Ray Bourque Jersey . -- Jacksonville wide receiver Cecil Shorts will likely be a game-time decision whether hell play Sunday in the Jaguars home game against the San Diego Chargers.

Luke Harrison spoiled Garrett Hughsons shutout bid with a power-play goal at 13:17 of the third period. The Spokane goaltender finished with 28 saves, including a Brandon Fushimi penalty shot in the second period that would have tied the game 1-1.Nick Blackwell is no longer sedated after being operated on to reduce swelling on his brain.The retired middleweight is understood to be stable but as he is yet to wake his condition is being monitored.The 26-year-old suffered the injury last Tuesday in an ill-advised sparring session that took place despite him no longer having a licence to box.He had retired after collapsing at the end of his defeat by Chris Eubank Jr. in March, when he was found to have suffered a bleed on the skull and put into an induced coma.While Blackwell remains in hospital and will continue to be monitored by doctors, the British Boxing Board of Controls investigation into the circumstances surrounding his injury is also ongoing.Their general secretary Robert Smith has spoken of their need to discover who oversaw the sparring session and who else was involved.The incident happened without the knowledge of Blackwells former trainer Gary Lockett, who had encouraged the fighter to get his trainers licence if he wanted to remain in the sport.ddddddddddddockett said in a statement: I cant believe the boxer he sparred with, and [the] coach or coaches involved, would ever allow Nick to spar when hes had a brain injury.In due course, I hope they are dealt with by the British Boxing Board of Control in the correct manner.We thought that was all going very well and while we knew Nick missed boxing, we obviously didnt realise the extent to which he missed it.I am deeply saddened by what has happened. Nick is not just an ex-boxer of mine, but also someone I consider to be a friend. ' ' '
