Rangers pitcher Tommy Hunter had to leave Thursday's spring training game in the third inning with a right groin strain.
"It doesn't feel very pleasant," Hunter said. "It's bearable. I think I'll be all right. Three days ... I had three days to go. It's all right. We'll get back together and go throw."
Hunter was named to the starting rotation earlier Thursday.
"I hope not," he said when asked if he'd miss any regular-season games. "I really hope not."
