Barring a setback with his left hamstring or a decision to keeping him on rehab assignment, Rougned Odor will return to the Texas Rangers' lineup as soon as Friday as they open a nine-game road trip at Houston.
Odor was batting only .206 when injured April 9. He hadn't homered.
Two days later shortstop Elvis Andrus was hit by a fastball that broke his right ulna bone just below the elbow. Since then, and thanks to Adrian Beltre's hamstring issue, Isiah Kiner-Falefa hasn't been out of the Texas Rangers' starting lineup.
That is going to change once Odor returns.
