ARLINGTON, Texas, April 17 (UPI) -- The Texas Rangers Thursday placed veteran outfielder Doug Glanville on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to Tuesday, with a strained right hamstring.

They also activated outfielder Kevin Mench.

Glanville suffered the injury while running to first base in the seventh inning of Monday's game. An MRI done on Wednesday showed that the severity of the strain will require more than a few days of rehabilitation.

Glanville is batting just .200 with two homers and two RBI in 13 games this season.

Mench had been on the DL after straining his right oblique muscle during batting practice on March 20.

Mench, the Rangers' Rookie of the Year in 2002, batted .091 during a three-game rehabilitation assignment at Double-A Frisco of the Texas League, collecting just one hit in 11 at-bats.
