Notes: Per Eddie Sefko of the Dallas Morning News:

The Rangers' lineup tonight has a lot of players who are banged up, but one of the walking wounded, Milton Bradley, will get at least one more day of rest.

Bradley got a cortisone shot in his left wrist on Monday and was scheduled to be ready to play in 24 to 48 hours after the shot, manager Ron Washington said. Bradley pinch hit in the eighth inning Monday, but still isn't ready to start tonight.

The news is better for Michael Young and Marlon Byrd. Both had MRIs early Tuesday, but both are playing tonight.
