Francisco was given an anti-inflammatory injection and will miss the entire series with Seattle. Instead, he will play catch on Wednesday and have a throwing session on Thursday to determine whether a trip to the disabled list is in order.
"We can't rule it out," said Rangers general manager Jon Daniels. "But right now, we're going day-to-day and see how Frankie progresses."
Frankie has nine saves so far this season, tied for 1st in the Major League. Opponents are hitting a paltry .137 against him, 6th lowest in the league. He has yet to allow an earned run in 14 appearances this season.
"Obviously, he's a big part of what we're doing," Daniels said. "If he ends up missing a few days, we'll try to get by. We have confidence in a lot of guys in our bullpen. If it's longer than that, it's something we'll have to deal with."
