Two important pieces to the Texas Rangers lineup will return from injury in the next few days, according to Tom Wills of MLB.com. Josh Hamilton, coming back from a right shoulder injury,will be back in the lineup Monday and Nelson Cruz, coming back from a strained right quad, will be back Friday. Hamilton will be on rehab assignment for the next four days, playing one game for Frisco and three for Round Rock, the Ranger's Triple-A affiliate. If all goes well he'll return at home against the White Sox next week If you remember Hamilton's shoulder injury stirred up some controversy when he threw his third base coach, Dave Anderson, under the bus disagreeing with Anderson's decision to send Hamilton home on an infield pop-up.
Cruz will play in one more game in Frisco Thursday and join the Rangers in Philadelphia on Friday. He was a huge source of power early on, hitting a home run in the first four games of the season, but cooled off since with just 3 since and a .219 batting average.
