Carlos Gomez Suffers Right Hamstring Injury During Athletics vs. Rangers

Texas Rangers outfielder Carlos Gomez exited Sunday's win over the Oakland Athletics with a right hamstring strain, the team announced.

After a poor start to the 2016 season, the Houston Astros released Gomez in August. The two-time All-Star signed with the Rangers and experienced a resurgent second half. In 33 games with Texas, Gomez batted .284 with eight home runs and 24 RBI.

Gomez re-signed with the Rangers in the offseason on a one-year contract.

Texas isn't hurting for offensive firepower, but the lineup doesn't boast a ton of depth, especially in the outfield.
