Dahl left Monday's game against the Rockies with a team trainer, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
EDGE Analysis
The nature of Dahl's injury is unclear, but he appeared to be walking gingerly as he left for the clubhouse. Injuries are sadly nothing new for the outfielder, who appeared in just 37 percent of the Rockies' games over the last four seasons before being non-tendered in December.

Dahl is no longer on a prescribed throwing program following offseason shoulder surgery, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dahl, who was limited to designated-hitter duties to start spring training, is now playing the field -- he made his second start in left field Tuesday. After going 3-for-3 on Tuesday, Dahl is 6-for-18 with two doubles, two RBI and four runs scored during Cactus League play. He lines up to be the Rangers' everyday left fielder.

Dahl (shoulder) is starting in left field and batting second in Friday's spring game against the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old has been recovering from a offseason shoulder surgery early in camp and was previously limited to serving as the designated hitter, but he'll play the field Friday. Barring any setback, Dahl will be a full go Opening Day for the Rangers.

Dahl (shoulder) started at designated hitter and went 0-for-1 with a walk in Monday's spring game against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
The Rangers will not have Dahl take the field until about mid-March as he returns from offseason shoulder surgery. Until then, he'll get at-bats as DH. He's highly motivated after the Rockies non-tendered him during the offseason following a year in which he batted .183/.222/.247 through just 24 games. In addition to the shoulder, Dahl dealt with lower-back soreness. The 26-year-old is expected to start in left field, and it's worth noting that he's just two years removed from an All-Star season.

Dahl (shoulder) will be limited to designated hitter during the first two weeks of spring-training games, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dahl won't be playing the outfield as he recovers from offseason shoulder surgery. The 26-year-old is expected to be the Rangers' starter in left field.

Dahl (shoulder) signed a one-year, $3 million contract with the Rangers on Friday, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Dahl was non-tendered by the Rockies in early December, but he'll land another major-league contract with Texas. The outfielder underwent shoulder surgery in September, but he's expected to be ready for spring training. Dahl has dealt with various injuries over the past several seasons, and he only mustered a .183/.222/.247 slash line with nine RBI over 24 games in 2020. The 26-year-old should compete for playing time in the Rangers' outfield, but he'll now have to play his home games without the advantage of the altitude in Colorado.

Dahl (shoulder) was non-tendered by the Rockies on Wednesday, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
On its face, this may seem like a surprise, but Dahl has not only been hurt regularly over his time with Colorado, but he hasn't been that productive recently either. Dahl's wRC+ has declined since his rookie season in 2016, and the 100 games he played in 2019 mark a career high. Without the benefit of Coors Field, his fantasy stock is now at an all-time low. He underwent shoulder surgery in September and his expected to be ready for spring training.

Dahl underwent surgery on his right shoulder Tuesday and is expected to be ready for the start of spring training in 2021, Thomas Harding of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
The 26-year-old had a myriad of issues addressed during the procedure, including cleanup of the labrum and rotator cuff and the removal of a bone spur and bursa sac. Dahl was limited to 24 games this season between shoulder and oblique issues, and he struggled when available with a .469 OPS. He'll look to enter 2021 in good health and get back on track next season.

Dahl was placed on the 45-day injured list with a right shoulder strain Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Dahl wasn't in the lineup over the past two games, and he'll be sidelined for the remainder of the regular season due to his shoulder injury. The 26-year-old only appeared in 24 games during the abbreviated 2020 season while battling injuries, and he struggled while slashing .183/.222/.247 with four extra-base hits and nine RBI. He'll now shift his focus toward preparing for spring training in 2021 while Kevin Pillar and Sam Hilliard could take over in center field over the final several games of the regular season.

Dahl is not in the lineup Tuesday against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Dahl finds himself on the bench again Tuesday and has now started only four of 12 games since returning from the injured list Sept. 9. Kevin Pillar receives another start in center field for the Rockies.
