Texas Rangers' Willie Calhoun likely to start season on injured list

ARLINGTON, Texas -- Texas Rangers outfielder Willie Calhoun likely will start the regular season on the injured list because of a lingering groin injury.

General manager Chris Young said Calhoun, who hasn't played in a spring training game since March 8, has a low-grade groin strain.

"We anticipate at this point that we're going to need a couple of weeks to really let that calm down," Young said Tuesday. "We've anticipated having Willie ready. But at this point given the soreness that still exists, I think we're better off getting him right before sending him into competition.
