Byrd recuperating from kidney stones
Outfielder not in lineup after procedure causes soreness

NEW YORK -- Outfielder Marlon Byrd was back in the Rangers' clubhouse on
Thursday, but not back in the lineup for what became a 7-2 win over the
Yankees.
Byrd was still feeling sore after undergoing a procedure to break up kidney
stones on Wednesday.
"If I didn't have any pain, I'd play," Byrd said. "But with the shock
procedure, I can hardly move."
Byrd played on Tuesday night against the Yankees, then woke up in his hotel
room around 5 a.m. Wednesday feeling great pain in the left side of his body.
After spending an hour trying to figure out what was wrong, he called trainer
Jamie Reed.
"He knew right away it was kidney stones, and they sent me to the hospital,"
Byrd said. "It's the first time I've ever had kidney stones. That's why I
didn't know. If I had, I would have gone straight to the hospital.
"I'm just sore from the procedure. Other than that, I'm fine. I just haven't
been able to sleep, and I hate taking pain pills."
The Rangers hope they can get Byrd back into the lineup on Friday against
Twins left-hander Brian Duensing. Byrd had started 56 straight games before
missing Wednesday's 9-2 loss to the Yankees. He was hitting .288 with four
home runs, 13 RBIs and a .593 slugging percentage in his past 15 games.
