Napoli received treatment Sunday for his back and will be reevaluated during the Rangers' off day Monday, T.R Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Napoli has been held out of four of the Rangers' past six games due to the recurring back issues, so a trip to the disabled list could be in the cards if he fails to receive a positive report when he's reevaluated. Joey Gallo would see most of the reps at first base if Napoli ends up missing further action.

EDGE Analysis

Napoli was removed from Saturday's game after experiencing a recurrence of back spasms, which had prevented him from playing in two games earlier this week. The extent of Napoli's latest setback is uncertain, but it's not surprising the Rangers will hold him out of the series finale. The team should provide an update on Napoli's condition prior to Tuesday's series opener with the Mets, but in the meantime, Joey Gallo will step in as the Rangers' first baseman.

Napoli exited Saturday's game against the Astros in the fifth inning with back spasms, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Napoli went 0-for-1 with a strikeout before being replaced at first base by Joey Gallo. The veteran slugger sat out two games earlier this week with back issues, and they appear to have cropped up again Saturday. Since the Rangers have a scheduled day off Monday, the likely scenario is that Napoli gets Sunday's series finale to rest, with the hope of returning for Tuesday's contest against the Mets. Gallo or Ryan Rua are potential lineup replacements should he miss time.

Napoli (back) went 1-for-3 with a double and run scored in Wednesday's 7-5 loss to the Rays in 10 innings.

EDGE Analysis

Following a two-game layoff due to back stiffness, Napoli reclaimed his usual starting role at first base, but dropped down to eighth in the batting order after having typically served as the Rangers' No. 6 hitter prior to the injury. With Adrian Beltre back from the disabled list and expected to handle an everyday role as the club's cleanup hitter, Napoli may have to get accustomed to a regular spot in the bottom third of the order. With a career-worst .197/.264/.416 batting line over 197 plate appearances this season, Napoli hasn't exactly proven himself worthy of a more favorable position in the lineup.

EDGE Analysis

A bout of back tightness cost Napoli two starts, but with the training staff signing off on his return, Napoli will get an opportunity to improve on his dismal 1-for-19 career line against Chris Archer. Napoli has rebounded in May after a .146/.224/.281 month of April, posting an .849 OPS with eight homers and 16 RBI, but he has continued to strike out in nearly one-third of his plate appearances.

EDGE Analysis

For the second consecutive game, Napoli will be withheld from the Rangers' lineup due to back soreness. At this point in time, the team has yet to elaborate on the severity of Napoli's injury, but more information should become available in the near future. In place of Napoli, Joey Gallo will start at first base.

Napoli is not in the lineup Monday against the Rays due to back tightness, freelance sports writer Anthony Andro reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's unclear when the ailment cropped up on Napoli, but he'll get the day off as Joey Gallo slides over to first base. With Adrien Beltre (calf) back from the disabled list, Napoli could start to lose some at-bats to Gallo. He should be considered day-to-day until the Rangers provide more on his status.

Napoli struck out in all four of his at-bats in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Napoli had batted .324 with six homers and 11 RBI over his last 11 games, but the Red Sox pitching staff threw some cool water on him, and the rest of the Rangers bats for that matter. It was the second time this season that Napoli has donned the golden sombrero, elevating his strikeout rate to 31.5 percent, the second-worst mark of his career. Napoli's low-contact ways will continue to make him a sinkhole in batting average, but his recent surge shows that the 35-year-old still packs plenty of power.

Napoli went 2-for-4 with a single and solo home run in Wednesday's 9-4 loss to the Red Sox.

EDGE Analysis

Napoli continued his heater at the plate with his sixth homer in his last 11 games, but a couple lapses in the field sullied his night. The slugging first baseman allowed two foul pop ups to fall in safely, prolonging a pair of at-bats for Rangers pitchers. Napoli has never been regarded as a strong defender, but so long as he's able to keep supplying power in the middle of the order, the Rangers will probably be willing to overlook his occasional misadventures in the field.

Napoli went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and two walks in Sunday's 5-2 victory over the Tigers.

EDGE Analysis

Napoli's fifth-inning blast to center field traveled 446 feet and broke up a 2-2 stalemate. The power-hitting first baseman finally seems to be settling in after a painfully slow start to the season; he's delivered five homers in his last nine games and is hitting .310 over that stretch.
