Adrián Beltré, Joe Mauer and Todd Helton were elected to the Major League Baseball Hall of Fame on Tuesday.

Beltre announced his retirement Tuesday.

Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said last week that he's been in touch with Beltre, but the third baseman has yet to decide if he wants to continue his playing career in 2019, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

Beltre (hip) returns to the lineup Friday against the Mariners, hitting fourth as the designated hitter.
