Texas Rangers outfielder Ryan Rua will not be activated from the disabled list today when rosters expand, as was hoped when he started on his rehab assignment earlier this week. Rua, who has been on the disabled list with back issues, left mid-game on August 29 due to a recurrence of tightness in his back, per MLB.com.
With the minor league regular season ending on Monday, this complicates the situation for Rua. He would appear unlikely to be able to return to minor league action by then, meaning that any rehab assignment would be in Surprise or through a simulated game.
