Its been hard for the Texas Rangers without their veteran leader Adrian Beltre. Hopefully they wont have to play without him for much longer. On Thursday, Beltre took batting practice with his teammates.

That is the first time Beltre has been able to do that since he re-aggravated hisstrained right calf muscle three weeks ago. According to T.R. Sullivan, manager Jeff Banister believes Beltre looked good in the box.

Some more good news is that Beltre was able to field ground balls. He is not yet running at full speed, but has been making good progress. Manager Jeff Banister talked about Beltres rehab work and timetable with T.R Sullivan.

Banister has not decided if he wants Beltre to do a rehabilitation assignment in the minors just yet. He did in 2011, but in 15 Beltre did not want to do a rehab assignment. Beltre could get some extra at-bats in extended Spring Training.
