Dahl (ribs) has developed back issues which will delay his return from the injured list, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old has been on the injured list with a bruised rib cage since May 26, and he'll now also need to overcome the back issues. Dahl was never given an official timeline for his return from the initial injury, but it's now clear he won't be rejoining the Rangers in the near future.

Dahl (ribs) will likely need a rehab assignment before returning to the Rangers, Sam Blum of the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Dahl, who was eligible to come off the injured list Saturday, has been out of action since running into the outfield wall in Anaheim on May 25. Manager Chris Woodward said the outfielder will need a few more days before embarking on that rehab assignment. In the meantime, Khris Davis is serving as the primary DH, while Willie Calhoun holds down left field.

The Rangers placed Dahl on the 10-day injured list Wednesday with a left rib cage contusion.

EDGE Analysis

Texas manager Chris Woodward speculated earlier Wednesday that Dahl may have suffered a fractured or cracked rib cage a night earlier, but the Rangers are merely labeling his injury as a bruise for now. While that bodes well for Dahl's chances of avoiding an extended absence, he'll still be out of the mix for the next week and a half after shifting to the IL. The Rangers recalled outfielder Jason Martin from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move, but Khris Davis could be first in line to replace Dahl in the everyday lineup at designated hitter, while Willie Calhoun mans left field on a more regular basis.

Manager Chris Woodward admitted that the Rangers have some concern that Dahl suffered a fractured or cracked rib in Tuesday's 11-5 loss to the Angels, Sam Blum of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rangers are holding Dahl out of the lineup for Wednesday's series finale and are labeling his injury as rib-cage soreness for the time being, but the outfielder could be sent in for additional follow-up tests to glean more information on the matter. Dahl has dealt with a variety of injuries since reaching the big leagues in 2016, and a fractured rib would almost certainly put the 27-year-old in line for another extended absence. Khris Davis is serving as the Rangers' designated hitter Wednesday, and he would likely be the main beneficiary of added playing time if Dahl is forced to go on the injured list.

Khris Davis will enter the lineup in place of Dahl, who had started in each of the Rangers' last seven games. Over that stretch, Dahl went 7-for-25 with a pair of home runs and a stolen base. The 27-year-old is slashing .223/.259/.369 across 140 plate appearances during his first season in Texas.

For the season, he's slashing .220/.258/.366 with four home runs, 12 RBI, 15 runs scored and a stolen base in 133 plate appearances.

Dahl replaced the injured Joey Gallo (hamstring) in right field and went 1-for-4 in a 10-4 loss to Houston on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

The Rangers are describing the injury as minor, so this could be a temporary starting assignment for Dahl, who regularly started in left field to start the season but has since been replaced by Willie Calhoun. Dahl will be in the lineup against right-handers, usually at DH but also as a fill-in at any of the three outfield spots. He's slashing .216/.250/.345 over 125 plate appearances.
