The Texas Rangers were set to leave their spring-training home Wednesday afternoon, but would do so without a set Opening Day roster because of their third baseman’s pesky right calf muscle.
The Rangers expect that Adrian Beltre will be in the lineup Monday against the Cleveland Indians (6:05 p.m., Globe Life Park) even though a minor strain in his calf could prevent him from going more than a week without a plate appearance.
But there is no guarantee that Beltre will be available — even he seems resigned to that — and because of that the Rangers could wait until the 11 a.
