Napoli (back) was placed on the 10-day disabled list Tuesday, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Napoli had experienced recurring issues with his back over the past week and failed to show much improvement following the team off day Monday, so the Rangers decided it was best to shut him down for the time being. There's been no indication yet that Napoli will be in store for an extended absence, but he'll need to resume hitting and fielding without pain before a potential activation from the DL next week would be considered. With Napoli temporarily out of the picture, Joey Gallo is expected to see most of the action at first base. Ryan Rua offering another alternative at the position.
