Russell Wilson to join Rangers

SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Two-time Super Bowl quarterback Russell Wilson is set for his second appearance at spring training with the Texas Rangers.

The Seattle Seahawks quarterback is scheduled to visit the Arizona camp March 28. Like he did in a visit last spring, Wilson is expected to go through a morning workout with the Rangers, address minor leaguers and be in uniform for an exhibition game. It is unlikely that he will play in the game against the San Diego Padres.

Texas selected Wilson in the Triple-A portion of baseball's December draft in 2013. The Rangers felt he could have an impact on their young players.

Wilson was a minor league infielder in the Colorado Rockies organization in 2010 and 2011 before going back to college to play football and then getting drafted.
