Rangers 3B Adrian Beltre hopes to make opener despite calf injury

SURPRISE, Ariz. -- The Texas Rangers are unsure whether third baseman Adrian Beltre will be in their lineup or on the disabled list Monday when they open the season against Cleveland.

Beltre has been dealing with a left calf strain and has not played since Sunday. The Rangers are delaying their final roster moves until the Sunday deadline, depending on Beltre's health.

"My mindset is to start the season playing until otherwise told something different," Beltre said Wednesday before the Rangers and Kansas City Royals played to a 0-0 tie.
