Via Pro Sports Daily  |  September 20, 2012
The Texas Rangers' injury/illness epidemic is spreading through the middle of the lineup. On Wednesday, Josh Hamilton, the team's No. 3 hitter, reported no improvement in the blurred vision and difficulty focusing that forced him out of Tuesday's game after three innings.

Via MLB Injury News  |  September 21, 2012
Texas Rangers outfielder Josh Hamilton was hoping to rejoin the club’s lineup last night for its finale with the Los Angeles Angels, but symptoms of his sinus infection remained.  This prompted the Rangers to send Hamilton back to Texas to be evaluated by team doctors, reports Lyle Spencer of MLB.com: "Everybody in my family's been sick," Hamilton...

Beltre talks his way into lineup, hits decisive homer

Via Pro Sports Daily  |  September 21, 2012
Adrian Beltre essentially crawled into Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington's office Thursday afternoon, sat doubled over in a chair with stomach cramps and told his skipper he was ready to play. "That's Adrian Beltre," Washington said. "And when he says something, you believe him." In case there were any doubt, Beltre delivered a game-winning homer...

Adrian Beltre back in lineup for Rangers

Via Fox Sports  |  September 22, 2012
Texas third baseman Adrian Beltre is back in the Rangers lineup against the Seattle Mariners, but that doesn't mean his stomach problems are completely solved. Beltre is hitting fourth and playing third base for the second-game of a weekend series against the Mariners on Saturday. Beltre flew to Seattle late Friday night after remaining in Southern California to have tests on...

Harrison goes the distance, offense goes missing

Via MyTeamRivals.com  |  September 22, 2012
Matt Harrison allowed one run on seven hits and struck out six over the course of eight innings.  Should have been good enough for a win, right? Wrong. The Rangers’ offense denied him that win.  Several times over.  They had eight hits and nothing to show for it.  There were three lead-off hits in the first three frames.  One was a double.   In the 8th, there was another...

Rangers lose 6-3 in Seattle

Via MyTeamRivals.com  |  September 22, 2012
After Adrian Beltre’s heroics last night, I was disappointed to find out he was not in the lineup (or Seattle) tonight.  He remained in Los Angeles for more tests.  Apparently, he’s still having intestinal issues.  Bummer. Have no fear … David Murphy is here.  It’s just a shame he couldn’t bat more often.  Three hits, three RBI.  Way to carry the offense tonight,...

Rangers 3, Angels 1

Via AP on Fox  |  September 21, 2012
Adrian Beltre hit a tiebreaking two-run homer off Angels closer Ernesto Frieri in the ninth inning, and the Texas Rangers dealt yet another blow to Los Angeles' fading playoff hopes with a 3-1 victory Thursday night.

Via AP on Fox  |  September 21, 2012
A postseason berth could be secured over the weekend for the Texas Rangers, who are also inching closer to winning a third straight AL West title. While reaching the playoffs doesn't seem like it should be an issue, the team suddenly has concerns over the health of its All-Star center fielder. Bothered by a sinus problem, Josh Hamilton is returning to Texas for further examination...
