Napoli (back) is hoping to be activated from the 10-day disabled list ahead of Friday's series opener with the Mariners, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Napoli appeared as the designated hitter in a rehab game with Double-A Frisco on Wednesday, going 0-for-4 with two strikeouts. He commented that he felt fine after the contest, but the Rangers might want to see how Napoli fares in the field before activating him. Even if he doesn't rejoin the club Friday, there's seemingly a good chance that Napoli will return before the upcoming week.
