Rangers Injury Update

• RHPs José Leclerc and Jonathan Hernández are "in a good spot" in their rehab from Tommy John surgery. Hernández is expected to return in mid-June, with Leclerc trending toward a return in late May. While Hernández is already on the 60-day Injured List, the club does not currently have the same plan for Leclerc.
• 3B Sherten Apostel (knee surgery) should be able to play for Triple-A Round Rock in the coming days.
• INF Justin Foscue is still recovering from a back strain.
• OF Steele Walker is in concussion protocol after taking a ball to the head.
• C Sam Huff and LHP John King are all fully cleared with no limitations. For Huff, that includes his ability to catch. King will likely be kept in the bullpen this season with little-to-no consideration for a spot in the starting rotation.
