GOODYEAR (AP) - Rangers slugger Prince Fielder has been sent back to Texas to take part in a sleep study after having trouble getting rest during spring training.

The team said Fielder returned to Texas on Wednesday. The study is expected to last 48 hours and Fielder is expected back in camp by the weekend.

The star first baseman and designated hitter has been having problems sleeping since arriving in Arizona for spring training.

Fielder has played four games this spring. He had one hit in nine at bats with two strikeouts.
