Texas Rangers Roster Report 2009-05-07


Texas Rangers Roster Report 2009-05-07
--CF Josh Hamilton worked out with a medicine ball and then took about 25 swings off a tee Wednesday, his first swings since being placed on the disabled list last week. Hamilton is expected to continue to increase his swinging over the next couple of days. Manager Ron Washington said it is likely Hamilton would go on a rehab assignment Monday, but he still is hoping for Hamilton to be activated Tuesday, the first day he's eligible to return from a sore ribcage muscle.

--3B Michael Young extended his hitting streak to 10 games with a single. He is hitting .409 (18-for-44) during the streak.

--SS Elvis Andrus, who made two more strong plays in the field to add to an impressive collection over the last week, hit a first-inning home run. It broke a 15-game stretch for him without a homer.
