Texas Rangers third baseman Adrian Beltre (hamstring) will return from the disabled list and hit fourth against the Detroit Tigers on Tuesday.

Texas Rangers' third baseman Adrian Beltre worked out in the field, working easy grounders as he continues his recovery from a strained hamstring.

Jason Vargas Simply Hoping To Not Get Rocked

When the New York Mets signed Jason Vargas this offseason, the thought was he would contribute as a solid innings-eater with a decent but not great ERA.
