ARLINGTON - Josh Hamilton's rehab plan starts to come into focus. Providing he has no further setbacks with his left knee, he will head to extended spring training in Arizona on Friday when the Rangers go to Chicago and will remain there for about a week.

If that goes well, he could begin an approximately 10-day rehab assignment with Double-A Frisco and Triple-A Round Rock around April 30. It puts Hamilton track to potentially return to the active roster somewhere between May 10-15.
