The Texas Rangers will welcome Adrian Beltre back on Friday night.

"He means a lot," Ron Washington said. "Beltre is our leader and he's our guy, and we'll be happy to get him back."

Beltre, who has been sidelined with a strained left quad muscle, is one of 11 Texas players on the disabled list.

The third baseman was hitting .286/.394/.393 with four RBIs in eight games before the injury.
