Rangers second baseman Rougned Odor could begin a rehab assignment this weekend and rejoin the major league roster soon and Adrian Beltre took batting practice on the field at Globe Life Park for the first time.
Both players are out with hamstring injuries. Odor, who strained his left hamstring on April 10, has been getting close and ramping up his on-the-field activities. Both players fielded groundballs before Thursday's game. Beltre strained his left hamstring on April 25.
"I know from talking to Beltre that he’s progressing," Rangers manager Jeff Banister said.
