Rangers place Napoli on DL

The Texas Rangers placed catcher Mike Napoli on the disabled list with a strained left quadriceps Saturday.

Napoli had played just once since Monday -- he went 0-for-4 against Detroit on Friday -- and now will be out until at least Aug. 26.

Geovany Soto replaced him in the lineup Saturday and catcher Luis Martinez was called up from Class AAA Round Rock, where he was hitting .270 with two homers and 22 RBI.
