11 Ronald Guzman 1B

Guzman (hamstring) is expected to be activated off the 10-day injured list Thursday, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

Guzman kicked off his rehab assignment at Double-A Frisco over the weekend by going a combined 3-for-10 with a home run, a double and two RBI over two games. He served as the designated hitter Saturday before playing first base Sunday. He'll get another two games worth of at-bats before returning to Texas.

Guzman (hamstring) will report to Double-A Frisco for a minor-league rehab assignment Saturday.

Guzman was originally expected to head to Triple-A Nashville for the rehab stint, but will instead join the Roughriders. The 24-year-old has been on the injured list with the right hamstring strain for almost a month, so he'll likely need at least a few games in the minors before returning to the Rangers.

Guzman (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment at Triple-A Nashville this weekend, Gerry Fraley of the Dallas Morning News reports.

If all goes well this weekend, the Rangers hope to activate Guzman in time for next week's series against the Pirates. Guzman has been sidelined since April 7 due to a strained right hamstring.

The Rangers hope Guzman (hamstring) can starting playing on a rehabilitation assignment this week and return to the roster by the end of the homestand, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

The Rangers' homestand lasts through Sunday, May 5, giving fantasy owners a target for Guzman's potential return. He's been out since April 7 and is making slow progress in his return from the injury. While he's unavailable, the Rangers have used a combination of Logan Forsythe and Danny Santana to fill in at first base.

Guzman underwent an MRI on Tuesday which revealed he is not fully recovered from his right hamstring strain, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Guzman has been running in the outfield at 90 percent but he is apparently still dealing with a small tear in the hamstring. The Rangers previously indicated the 24-year-old could return April 30 at the earliest, but it's unclear if the MRI results push back that timeline.
