Pence has had a surprising resurgence with Texas this season, hitting .292 with 14 home runs. He’s played a big part in the surprising Rangers occupying a Wild Card spot, and they can’t really afford to lose him for an extended period of time. At this point, though, it’s just too soon to tell how much time he’ll miss.
