Blalock originally went on the 15-day disabled list with a left hamstring injury on April 29, retroactive to April 26. He experienced soreness in the wrist last week.
"He got the injection," Rangers manager Ron Washington said Tuesday night before a game against Tampa Bay. "We'll see if the injection helps."
Washington said Blalock will need to go on a minor league rehab assignment before being activated from the DL.
In other news, right-hander Kevin Millwood is expected to make 85-to-90 pitches in his first start Friday against Oakland since being sidelined by a strained right groin. He went on the disabled list May 11.
Frank Catalanotto was in the starting lineup at first base for Tuesday's game with the Rays. He missed the previous seven games with a sore back.
