Delivers immediately for new team Dahl went 3-for-5 with a double, a walk and two runs scored in Thursday's 14-10 loss to Kansas City.
Impact Dahl had an impressive debut for his new team. It doesn't hurt that he's batting second in front of the slugging Joey Gallo, so Dahl could see good pitches to hit if that arrangement continues. That, and the motivation of being non-tendered by the Rockies during the offseason, could make him a bounce-back candidate.

Playing outfield in 'B' game Dahl (knee) will bat third and start in left field Wednesday in the Rangers' "B" game.

Likely to play Wednesday Dahl (knee) could appear in a "B" game Wednesday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Impact Dahl fouled a ball off his knee during a game Monday and was removed out of precaution. He sat out Tuesday's game, but apparently could get reps Wednesday. Manager Chris Woodward said Dahl probably would have stayed in Monday's game had it been a regular-season contest.

Exit considered precautionary Dahl was removed from Monday's game against Colorado as a precaution after fouling a ball off his right knee, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.
Impact Dahl has had more than his fair share of bad luck with injuries, but it appears as though he's not dealing with anything particularly significant this time around. Assuming he's dealing with nothing worse than a bruise, he should be able to get back on the field within a few days.

Exits with apparent injury Dahl left Monday's game against the Rockies with a team trainer, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.
Impact The nature of Dahl's injury is unclear, but he appeared to be walking gingerly as he left for the clubhouse. Injuries are sadly nothing new for the outfielder, who appeared in just 37 percent of the Rockies' games over the last four seasons before being non-tendered in December.

Makes spring debut Dahl (shoulder) started at designated hitter and went 0-for-1 with a walk in Monday's spring game against the Giants.
Impact The Rangers will not have Dahl take the field until about mid-March as he returns from offseason shoulder surgery. Until then, he'll get at-bats as DH. He's highly motivated after the Rockies non-tendered him during the offseason following a year in which he batted .183/.222/.247 through just 24 games. In addition to the shoulder, Dahl dealt with lower-back soreness. The 26-year-old is expected to start in left field, and it's worth noting that he's just two years removed from an All-Star season.
