Lawton's family braves hurricane:

Acquired from the Chicago Cubs late Friday night, Lawton didn't have a chance to catch his breath yesterday morning after playing his first two games for his new team.

Instead, Lawton kept an eye on the television and kept sending text messages to his parents and brother, who braved the hurricane at his house in Gulfport, Miss.

The Lawton family is doing alright, but our thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected.
