He will start and bat seventh Tuesday night when the Indians continue their series against Kansas City.
To make room for Chisenhall,...
NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) — Tired of being pushed around and run over last season, the Tennessee Titans want to make sure that doesn't happen in 2013.
So they got bigger up front.
And wider.
The Titans had only one starter on the defensive line who pushed the scale to 300 pounds last season, so they brought in three veterans — all 310 or heavier. Tackle Sammie Hill really was their biggest signing at 6-foot-4 and weighing in at a...
