Adrian Beltre has a Grade 1 left quadriceps strain, but will not be placed on the disabled list just yet.

Texas has roster flexibility, so Beltre will rest and have the medical staff take a look at his quad over the next few days before determining if he needs to go on the DL early next week.

Kevin Kouzmanoff will play in Beltre's absence.

Beltre appeared to injure the quad hitting a double in the fifth inning of Tuesday's game at Fenway Park. He was taken out shortly thereafter and sent to Texas to see Meister.
