Player Notes
August 30, 2007

Frank Catalanotto could be available for outfield duty this weekend, the AP reports. Catalanotto's been restricted to DHing since he was activated from the DL on Monday because his throwing has been hampered by right bicep tendinitis. If Catalanotto can throw, he'll play RF Sunday while Sammy Sosa is the DH.

As expected, the Rangers activated Frank Catalanotto from the DL Monday. Catalonotto, who had been out with a strained biceps tendon, homered in his first at-bat back. The injury is preventing Catalanotto from playing the outfield (he started at DH), but he hopes to be able to get back in the field by the weekend, according to the Dallas Morning News. "I really don't have any problem with hitting, and it just gets sore after a while when I'm throwing," said Catalanotto. "But I'm ready to go and get back at it."
May 21, 2007
The Rangers will activate Frank Catalanotto from the DL today. Catalanotto, who's coming back from a strained biceps tendon, isn't able to play the outfield yet, but he can DH, according to the Dallas Morning News. That means Sammy Sosa will get some playing time in right, leaving either Victor Diaz or Nelson Cruz relegated to a bench role.

The Rangers decided not to activate Frank Catalanotto (right biceps) from the disabled list Tuesday, the AP reports. He is expected to play four games starting Thursday with Triple-A Oklahoma, although the timetable on Catalanotto might need to be pushed forward if the hamstring injury to Brad Wilkerson is anything serious.
May 14, 2007
Frank Catalanotto is expected to DH in his return to action on Tuesday, according to the Dallas Morning News. However, manager Ron Washington said he plans for Catalanotto to be limited to pinch-hitting duties the next four to five games, as the Rangers face two lefties before facing the Astros without a DH. He's recovering from a strained biceps tendon.
May 13, 2007
Frank Catalanotto has begun playing rehab games as the designated hitter at the Double-A level, according to the Dallas Morning News. He's recovering from a strained tendon in his right biceps and said he should begin throwing any day now.

May 9, 2007

May 7, 2007
Frank Catalanotto said his strained right biceps tendon felt better Sunday, so he didn't get a cortisone shot, according to the Dallas Morning News. He hasn't been throwing and has been swinging his bat with only one hand, but he still thinks he'll be ready to come off the disabled list when eligible May 15.
May 2, 2007
An MRI on Frank Catalanotto's shoulder revealed an acute strained biceps tendon, according to the Dallas Morning News. This was a good sign, and doctors have told him that he should be able to return from the disabled list when he's eligible on May 15. "I finally found out and got the news, and I'm happy," Catalanotto said.
May 1, 2007
The Rangers put Frank Catalanotto on the 15-day disabled list Tuesday after an MRI exam showed a strained tendon in his right biceps, according to the AP. He said he felt a "tearing sensation" when he made a throw during Sunday's game at Toronto. Catalanotto hasn't played since, and his assignment was made retroactive to Monday. He is expected to be ready when he's eligible to come off the disabled list May 15.
May 1, 2007
Frank Catalanotto is scheduled to undergo an MRI exam today to determine if he's torn anything in his right shoulder, according to the Dallas Morning News.

April 30, 2007
Frank Catalanotto was held out of the lineup on Monday because of a sore shoulder, according to the AP. If his shoulder problem persists, manager Ron Washington said either Marlon Byrd or Victor Diaz could be called up from Triple-A Oklahoma to provide some depth in the outfield. Catalanotto is scheduled to undergo an MRI this week.
April 30, 2007
Frank Catalanotto felt a "tearing sensation" while making a throw from left field to third base in the fifth inning of Sunday's 7-3 loss to Toronto, the Dallas Morning News reports. He was removed from the game after the inning, and it's feared he may need surgery. He'll have an MRI this week. If Catalanotto does go on the disabled list, it's possible the Rangers will recall Victor Diaz or Marlon Byrd as a replacement.
