A woman suspected of abducting a 2-month-old girl Monday near Tampa, Fla., is the wife of Pirates Minor League outfielder Jose Tabata. Tabata was traded by the Yankees in the Xavier Nady deal last summer and is one of the Pirates' top prospects. Amalia Tabata Pereira, 43, allegedly abducted the infant Monday afternoon and turned the child, who was safe, in to the Manatee County Sheriff's Office on Tuesday. "I was shocked to be told today that my wife has been arrested for kidnapping," Tabata, 20, said in a statement. "I am hurt, frustrated and confused by her actions. I have and will continue to cooperate with law enforcement officials in any way that I can. Until I have all of the facts, I cannot comment any further."

Brian Giles' ex-wife stated in 2004 that he and his former girlfriend, Cheri Olvera, had ?several physical altercations? in front of his children. Giles ?struck Cheri with his forearm while they were at the McDonald's drive-thru (in 2004),? Giles' ex-wife, Doddie, stated in a 2004 court declaration made under the penalty of perjury. ?In November of 2004, during a heated argument, while the children and my nanny were staying with (Giles), (Giles) shoved Cheri off of the sofa so hard that she fell on the floor and left the room crying. This occurred in front of the children and was very upsetting for them.? Olvera filed a $10 million palimony lawsuit against him last year, saying she had a ?marriage-like relationship? with him from from 2002 to 2008 but never married because of Giles' violence toward her. Doddie Giles filed for divorce from Giles in October 2002 ? after she said Giles became involved with Olvera. Olvera has accused Giles of several instances of abuse in her suit against him. Giles has denied Olvera's allegations and has countersued her, saying it was she who abused him.

Brian McNamee says that he injected Roger Clemens with performance-enhancing drugs at a hot tub in Yankee Stadium, according to sportsimproper.com. McNamee previously described injecting Clemens at the pitcher's apartment to baseball investigator George Mitchell. In addition, he told the site: "Sometimes it was in the Jacuzzi at Yankee Stadium." A federal grand jury is currently investigating whether Clemens lied when he told a congressional committee last year that he never used drugs.

According to people briefed on the case, drug items that trainer Brian McNamee used to inject Rogers Clemens had performance-enhancing substances on them. McNamee has been claiming that he used syringes, vials and gauze pads to inject Clemens with steroids and human growth hormone in 2000 and 2001. Clemens said McNamee did inject him, but the substances were vitamin B-12 and lidocaine. "I assumed, and I am not surprised, that the tests were positive for both DNA and for performance-enhancing drugs, because that's what Brian said all along, and there's not much doubt that Brian's been telling the truth," McNamee's lawyer, Richard Emery, told The Associated Press. "The confirmation of that fact, once again, just seems to me to be another significant step towards jail for Clemens."
