Ian Desmond is being viewed as a left fielder after signing with Texas, the team's web site reports.
Desmond will play left field and not shortstop for the Rangers, the team's official site reports.
Analysis:
Desmond will get an extended look in left field for at least the first month while Josh Hamilton remains sidelined. However, Desmond could start to lose at-bats after Hamilton's return if he's struggling at the plate.
