Texas Rangers infielder Justin Foscue left a Cactus League game with right hamstring tightness, putting his chances of winning a versatile outfield role in jeopardy. Foscue was looking to prove himself this spring as the team searches for a right-handed hitting outfielder.
Why it matters
The Rangers have been trying to find a right-handed hitting outfielder who can provide some offensive punch. Foscue was seen as a potential candidate, but this injury could set him back in his bid to earn that role and make the opening day roster.

The players
Justin Foscue
A 24-year-old infielder for the Texas Rangers who was hoping to win a versatile outfield role this spring.
Mark Canha
A veteran outfielder who is considered the leading candidate for the Rangers' open outfield spot.
What they’re saying
“If I do what I'm supposed to do offensively, it should take care of itself, regardless [of position versatility]. But having the ability to play outfield gives me some versatility with whatever matchups they want to throw out there, and it makes my game better. So I'm obviously open to that.”

The takeaway
This injury setback could derail Foscue's chances of winning a versatile outfield role with the Rangers this spring, as the team continues to search for the right right-handed hitting option to complement their outfield.
