Odds and ends

- Jake Kaplan

Adrian Beltre left Wednesday’s game in the eighth inning because of tightness in his left hamstring. The Rangers third baseman will be reevaluate­d Thursday. …

The Astros expect to make their first-round draft pick (17th overall) Thursday at about 7:30 p.m. CT and their second pick (61st overall) at about 9:35 p.m. Their first-round draft slot is their lowest since 2009, when they selected high school shortstop Jiovanni Mier with the 21st pick. …

The organizati­on is experiment­ing with first baseman/DH Jon Singleton in left field. He played the position Monday for Class AAA Fresno, his first full game in the outfield since 2012.
