Rangers' Odor, Fister land on 10-day DL

The Texas Rangers will have to do without second baseman Rougned Odor and right-handed starting pitcher Doug Fister until late next week at the earliest. Both were placed on the 10-day disabled list on Tuesday.

Odor left Monday's game against the Los Angeles Angels with a strained left hamstring. After drawing a walk, he was going back to first on a flyout when he was hurt. The Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports that Odor could be out for up to three weeks.

Odor, 24, is batting .206 (7-for-34) with four RBIs in 11 games this season.

Fister, who is in his first season with the Rangers, has a right hip strain, the team said Tuesday. He was the losing pitcher on Monday, giving up three runs in six innings, including a solo home run to the Angels' Albert Pujols.

In three starts this season, Fister is 1-2 with a 3.95 ERA.

One option to replace Fister in the rotation would be Bartolo Colon, according to CBSsports.com. Jurickson Profar is expected to see much of the playing time for Odor, according to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

The Rangers filled the roster spots with right-handed pitcher Tony Barnette, who was reinstated from the 10-day DL, and with infielder-catcher Isiah Kiner-Falefa, who was recalled from the Rangers' Triple-A affiliate in Round Rock, Texas.

Barnette, 34, had been sidelined due to back soreness, and he made three rehab appearances for Double-A Frisco in the past week, tossing a total of three scoreless innings. Last year, he went 2-1 with two saves and a 5.49 ERA in 50 relief appearances for Texas.

Kiner-Falefa, 23, has no major league experience. He hit .288 in 129 games for Frisco last year, and he was off to a 3-for-15 (.200) start for Round Rock this year.
