SURPRISE, Ariz. (AP) -- The Texas Rangers say utility infielder Khalil Greene will not be joining the team because of an undisclosed private matter.

The Rangers on Monday announced the change in status for Greene, who on Jan. 21 signed a one-year, $750,000 deal with Texas.

General manager Jon Daniels issued a statement saying the Rangers fully
support Greene's decision, and would not comment on his "medical
situation." Daniels says the Rangers have not put a timetable on the
30-year-old player's possible return to the AL club.

Greene spent the 2009 season with St. Louis while missing 46 games in
two stints on the disabled list due to social anxiety. Greene
previously played for San Diego.
