Danny Santana leaves game with calf tightness

Related Topics: Danny Santana, Rangers F.C.

Danny Santana, the Texas Rangers’ infielder/outfielder who appears at this point to be the Rangers’ primary center fielder in 2020 by default, left today’s spring training game due to left calf tightness.

The move is said to be precautionary and not thought to be serious, per the beats, and no one seems to be concerned. This early in the spring, there’s no reason to push a player with muscle tightness — everyone is just getting into the swing of things, and the last thing anyone wants is to see a guy turn a minor muscle twinge into a strain or pull that sidelines him for a while and jeopardizes his ability to be ready for Opening Day.
