HOUSTON (AP) - An insurance claim filed by the Houston Astros to recoup more than $15 million owed to injured first baseman Jeff Bagwell has been denied.
The National League champions filed the claim in January to recoup about $15.6 million of the $17 million Bagwell is guaranteed this season in the final year of his contract, arguing he is too hurt to play because of a chronically injured right shoulder.
The 37-year-old Bagwell will begin the season on the disabled list and acknowledged Saturday he might never play again.
