Adrian Beltre must have been feeling pretty good late Tuesday afternoon, because he still had enough energy after a busy pregame on the field to toy with the Texas Rangers beat writers.
Manager Jeff Banister had just spilled the goods on Beltre, that his early work on the field indicated that he would be reinstated from the 10-day disabled list no later than Friday.
Banister ruled out Tuesday and Wednesday against the Seattle Mariners, saying the Rangers need to see how well Beltre's strained left hamstring recovers from taking batting practice, fielding ground balls and running the bases, and then he needs to do it again.
