Williams makes a good return in Indians spring loss
Winter Haven Florida third baseman Matt Williams returned to the lineup after a four game layoff with a sore Achilles. He went 1 for 2 with a walk in a 5-3 defeat to Kansas City and was pulled for a pinch runner in the sixth. Manager Mike Hargrove said Williams should play again today. Williams is hitting .500 with a homer and two RBIs in 10 spring games and has yet to commit an error at third.

Fielder withdraws trade demand and stays with Yankees
Cecil Fielder reversed his trade demand just before the deadline and will remain with the New York Yankees at a $7.2 million salary rather than become a free agent. The move came as spring training continued with Dwight Gooden delivering five solid innings in a 10-3 win over Detroit, lowering the Yankees rotation ERA to 1.60 through 16 games. Tim Raines boosted his spring average to .424 with a 3-for-4 day, while Chipper Jones left the game after being hit by a pitch and Denny Neagle was scratched with a sore shoulder.
