Saltalamacchia Out For Season With Forearm Injury

ARLINGTON (AP) ―

Texas Rangers catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia is out for the season after injuring his right forearm in a loss to Seattle.

Saltalamacchia had an MRI today -- and team doctors said the second-year player needs to rest his sore right arm for six to eight weeks.

Saltalamacchia left Monday night's game in the fifth inning after hurting his arm while trying to throw out Miguel Cairo on an infield single.

Saltalamacchia threw from an awkward angle.

Rookie Taylor Teagarden, who hit a three-run homer after being called up earlier Monday, replaced Saltalamacchia behind the plate.

Rangers manager Ron Washington says Teagarden will split time at catcher with veteran Gerald Laird the rest of the way.
