The Texas Rangers announced third baseman Adrian Beltre suffered a strained left hamstring Thursday against the Houston Astros.
On Friday an MRI revealed a Grade 2 strain, which will keep him out for a "minimum" of four weeks, the club announced.
Beltre, 38, has been hampered by injuries all season long. He missed the team's first 51 games of the season while recovering from a right calf strain, and this latest injury calls into question whether the veteran's body is finally starting to break down after such a long and consistent career.
So far this season, Beltre is hitting .317 with 16 home runs and 66 RBI. He also registered his 3,000th career hit earlier in the campaign.
