SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Newly acquired Texas Rangers slugger Khris Davis will miss the start of the MLB season because of a quadriceps strain suffered while running out a bunt single on Tuesday.
General manager Chris Young said Wednesday that an MRI showed that Davis has a Grade 2 quad strain and will be out three to four weeks.
The news came a day after Davis, who likely would have opened the season as the starting designated hitter, got hurt in a Cactus League game. He put down a nice bunt against the Los Angeles Angels and beat it out even though he pulled up before getting to first base.
