Beltre (thumb) said he won't swing a bat for 12 days, which means he will be out for longer than two weeks, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Jeff Wilson reports. The initial timetable given was "at least two weeks", but it now seems that was overly optimistic. Beltre figures to be placed on the disabled list, after suffering a sprained left thumb and a laceration during Sunday's game against the Red Sox. X-rays came back negative, so he may still return at some point in June.
