Here’s how a serious injury to Mendez could affect the Rangers’ Opening Day roster

It wasn’t just Bloody Sunday at Daniel-Meyer Coliseum.

The empty Texas Rangers injury report now has three players on it less than two weeks from the season opener, and they aren’t players no one knows. Joey Gallo, Ronald Guzman and Yohander Mendez are anywhere from gimpy to not good.

The good news is that the Gallo, the starting left fielder, and Guzman, the starting first baseman, are on the gimpy side. Gallo (mild strain, right groin) said that he will be in the Opening Day lineup March 28 against the Chicago Cubs, and Guzman (left knee stiffness) is going to be, too.
