Welcome Back, Mike Napoli
Per Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the Rangers have, as expected, activated Mike Napoli (oblique strain) from the 15-day disabled list, with Taylor Teagarden heading back down to Triple-A Round Rock.
This should provide a boost to the lineup against lefty starters in particular, as he had clubbed southpaws to the tune of .255/.388/.582 in 67 plate appearances against this season, and one has to wonder how often we'll be seeing Napoli behind the dish as we go forward, as Yorvit Torrealba is once again slumping, and continues to creep towards a career high in games played.
