Blalock plates four as Texas gains ground
Five days ago, Rangers manager Ron Washington decided to put Hank Blalock back in the lineup.
Blalock, reduced to a reserve role since Chris Davis was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City on Aug. 25, was asked to breathe some life into the Rangers’ slumbering offense with Josh Hamilton and Michael Young still unable to play.
Blalock has done that.
He had two doubles, a home run, two runs scored and four RBIs to lead the Rangers to a 9-8 victory over the Athletics at the Coliseum on Wednesday. The win, combined with the Angels’ loss to the Yankees, moved Texas to within 6 1/2 games of first place in the American League West.

Hamilton gearing up for return
Josh Hamilton could find out on Tuesday how soon he will be ready to return to the Rangers lineup. It could be a big day for him.
Hamilton, who has been sidelined since Sept. 2 with a pinched nerve in his lower back, resumed workouts on Monday after backing off for four days. He took some swings off a tee and off soft-toss pitching in the batting cage, and did some running in the outfield.
All went well. He will try to increase his baseball activities on Tuesday to include on-field batting practice against live pitching.

Saltalamacchia to have surgery, Hamilton out longer
Rangers catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia’s season will end on Monday when he undergoes surgery on his right shoulder. Saltalamacchia has Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, a condition where a rib bone pushes on a nerve and causes pain and numbness in the arm and fingers.
Saltalamacchia has played in just one game since Aug. 14 and that was as a designated hitter on Sept. 5 in Baltimore. He was trying to hang on as a pinch-hitter and DH but decided to get the surgery done and get ready for next season.
The surgery usually requires 10-12 weeks of recovery time. Saltalamacchia is expected to be ready for Spring Training.

Jones working way back to Rangers
The Rangers have made some of their September callups, but there is still at least one more move to make next week.
The Rangers are still trying to get Andruw Jones back on the active roster. Jones has been the Rangers’ right-handed designated hitter for much of the season, but is on the disabled list with a torn left hamstring muscle.
The Rangers could have used him in the first three games of their series against the Blue Jays. Toronto started three left-handers against them. Instead, Jones has been assigned to Double-A Frisco on a rehab assignment.
