Joey Gallo, dealing with a sore right hamstring for more than a week, returned to Texas to be further examined by a doctor but is not expected to land on the DL.

Gallo saw an orthopedist Sunday and was examined but did not have an MRI. The diagnosis was soreness but nothing that necessitated a trip to the DL. He will rejoin the team in Cleveland and will play as "pain tolerance allows," Rangers officials said.

Gallo has dealt with the issue for about 10 days. It's possible he aggravated it Wednesday when he had a pair of doubles and an inside-the-park home run. Gallo had a right-hamstring issue in spring training as well and did not play from March 20-27.

The Rangers called up Drew Robinson on Saturday to replace Martin Perez on the active roster, so they had a full bench Sunday. Robinson got his first major league start and responded with a pair of hits, including a home run. With Cole Hamels set to come off the DL on Monday and Gallo able to remain active, it's possible Robinson could face a quick return to Triple-A Round Rock.
