Rangers Team Report May 16, 2008

Third baseman Hank Blalock's attempt to make a quick comeback from a partially torn left hamstring has hit a snag.

The hamstring tightened up Thursday as Blalock was getting ready to begin a rehab assignment with Class AA Frisco. He was scratched from the lineup and will be re-evaluated Friday.

Blalock, out since April 26, had hoped to play just one game for Frisco and be back in the Rangers' lineup. The club had originally indicated Blalock's injury would likely take three to six weeks to heal. Friday would be just three weeks since he suffered the injury.
