Dahl (ribs) was reinstated from the 10-day injured list Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Dahl had been on the injured list since May 26 due to a left rib cage contusion, and he dealt with back issues in early June. The 27-year-old spent just under two weeks on a rehab assignment with Double-A Frisco and Triple-A Round Rock, and he hit .412 with a home run, a triple, a double, nine RBI, eight runs and a stolen base across nine games. Dahl should reclaim a regular spot in the lineup going forward, while catcher Jose Trevino (forearm) was placed on the 10-day injured list in a corresponding move.

Manager Chris Woodward said Sunday that he expects Dahl (ribs) to be activated from the injured list at some point during the upcoming series in Oakland, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dahl hit the IL on May 26 with a left rib cage contusion. The outfielder later developed back issues in early June, which may have pushed back his eventual rehab assignment. There were rumblings that Dahl would be activated to take Willie Calhoun's (forearm) roster spot prior to Sunday's game against the Royals, but Woodward said that the club didn't want to rush him back too soon. Jason Martin was recalled instead and could wind up being the odd man out again when Dahl returns in the next few days.

Dahl (ribs) recently had his rehab assignment transferred from Triple-A Round Rock to Double-A Frisco, Kevin Sherrington of the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dahl was with Round Rock while it was on a homestand but will move to Frisco with the Express headed out on the road. He slugged a home run and knocked in four for Frisco on Wednesday, the fourth game of his rehab assignment. It's unclear when the Rangers plan to activate him, but he may not have an everyday role in Texas. The club has been intrigued by the improvement of Eli White, who is slashing .293/.370/.585 with three home runs since his callup 12 games ago.

Dahl (ribs) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Dahl took batting practice Friday and felt good afterward, and the training staff has determined that he's ready to begin his rehab assignment. The 27-year-old has been sidelined since May 26 due to rib cage and upper back issues, but he appears to be trending toward a return.

Dahl (ribs) felt good after taking batting practice Friday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dahl has been dealing with a rib injury that later developed into back stiffness, but he met with training staff Friday to develop a plan for his upcoming rehab assignment. The 27-year-old could appear in rehab games as early as this weekend. Once Dahl returns to the active roster, he could have an everyday role since Khris Davis was released by the Rangers on Sunday.

Dahl (ribs/back) could begin a rehab assignment this weekend, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dahl has missed the last three weeks with what was initially a rib injury, but he later developed back stiffness. Prior to the injury, he shared the designated hitter role with Khris Davis, who has since been designated for assignment, so Dahl could have a clear path to an everyday role once activated/.

Dahl (ribs) has developed back issues which will delay his return from the injured list, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old has been on the injured list with a bruised rib cage since May 26, and he'll now also need to overcome the back issues. Dahl was never given an official timeline for his return from the initial injury, but it's now clear he won't be rejoining the Rangers in the near future.

Dahl (ribs) will likely need a rehab assignment before returning to the Rangers, Sam Blum of the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dahl, who was eligible to come off the injured list Saturday, has been out of action since running into the outfield wall in Anaheim on May 25. Manager Chris Woodward said the outfielder will need a few more days before embarking on that rehab assignment. In the meantime, Khris Davis is serving as the primary DH, while Willie Calhoun holds down left field.

The Rangers placed Dahl on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left rib cage contusion.

EDGE Analysis

Texas manager Chris Woodward speculated earlier Wednesday that Dahl may have suffered a fractured or cracked rib cage a night earlier, but the Rangers are merely labeling his injury as a bruise for now. While that bodes well for Dahl's chances of avoiding an extended absence, he'll still be out of the mix for the next week and a half after shifting to the IL. The Rangers recalled outfielder Jason Martin from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move, but Khris Davis could be first in line to replace Dahl in the everyday lineup at designated hitter, while Willie Calhoun mans left field on a more regular basis.

Manager Chris Woodward admitted that the Rangers have some concern that Dahl suffered a fractured or cracked rib in Tuesday's 11-5 loss to the Angels, Sam Blum of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rangers are holding Dahl out of the lineup for Wednesday's series finale and are labeling his injury as rib-cage soreness for the time being, but the outfielder could be sent in for additional follow-up tests to glean more information on the matter. Dahl has dealt with a variety of injuries since reaching the big leagues in 2016, and a fractured rib would almost certainly put the 27-year-old in line for another extended absence. Khris Davis is serving as the Rangers' designated hitter Wednesday, and he would likely be the main beneficiary of added playing time if Dahl is forced to go on the injured list.
