Adrian Beltre’s return should help Rangers rebound

The Texas Rangers are hoping — maybe even expecting — that they’ve played their last game of 2017 without Adrian Beltre.

The Hall of Fame-bound third baseman could be activated before Monday’s series opener against the Tampa Bay Rays at Globe Life Park. He has been on the disabled list the first two months of the season with a strained right calf.

Sunday’s 3-1 win over the Toronto Blue Jays at Rogers Centre closed out a rough, nine-game road trip in which the Rangers went 3-6 and had lost their previous five games.
