Young strains hamstring, exits Game 2

Rangers third baseman Michael Young could be sidelined for an extended period of time after suffering a strained left hamstring in the second game of Tuesday’s doubleheader against the Blue Jays.

Young will have an MRI on the injury on Wednesday, but it could keep him sidelined for 1-2 weeks or more.

“I’ve never had a hamstring issue before in my life, so it’s a little bit of a shock,” Young said. “At this point of the season, missing one pitch kills me. It’s pretty tough, but I’m not going to pout about it. It happens. I’m going to try and get back as quickly as possible.”

Rangers manager Ron Washington, who first described it as a “pulled” muscle, admitted it was not a good situation.
