St. Louis, MO (Sports Network) – Texas Rangers first baseman Mitch Moreland was activated off the 15-day disabled list Friday after recovering from a right hamstring strain.<\/p>\n
Moreland was placed on the DL June 6, a day after suffering the injury while running the bases in a game against the Boston Red Sox. He played three minor league rehab games at Double-A Frisco this week and was 6-for-12 with a homer and three runs batted in.<\/p>\n
In 58 games for Texas this season, Moreland is batting .288 with 12 homers and 29 runs batted in.<\/p>\n
Texas optioned pitcher Josh Lindblom to Triple-A Round Rock to open a roster spot. Lindblom started Thursday’s game against Oakland and did not figure in the decision after allowing two runs on eight hits in five innings.<\/p>\n
The right-hander is 0-2 with a 5.40 ERA in four starts for the Rangers this season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
