| Rangers | Joe Saunders wants to start |
Tue, 06 May 2014 11:18:05 -0700
Texas Rangers SP Joe Saunders (ankle) said he wants to be a starter when he returns to the majors after throwing 66 pitches in a rehab start for Double-A Frisco Tuesday, May 6. Saunders said he's not interested in long relief. "For me it's all about starting and helping this team win games as a starter," said Saunders, who suffered a stress fracture in his left ankle in Tampa Bay in April when he was hit by line drive off the bat of Evan Longoria. "It's what I signed to do and what they signed me to do." RP Nick Martinez is the current long reliever, but the team would rather see him start every five days in the minors.

| Rangers | Tanner Scheppers to DL |
Fri, 18 Apr 2014 12:59:36 -0700
The Texas Rangers are putting SP Tanner Scheppers (elbow, forearm) on the 15-day disabled list with inflammation in his right elbow and forearm Friday, April 18, and recalled P Aaron Poreda from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move. Also, INF Andy Parrino was designated for assignment. Scheppers will not throw for 10 days. SP Nick Martinez is likely to start against the Oakland Athletics Tuesday, April 22.
Fantasy Tip: Martinez has an average fastball and relies on control instead of overpowering hitters. He has improved his secondary offerings, as well. Nothing flashy here, but he could be a nice pickup in AL-only leagues.

| Rangers | Tanner Scheppers expected to stay in rotation |
Thu, 17 Apr 2014 15:18:43 -0700
Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington said the plan for now is to keep SP Tanner Scheppers in the starting rotation, despite another rough outing against the Seattle Mariners Thursday, April 17. One inning has cost him in three of his four starts this season, and 17 of the 20 runs he's allowed have come in three innings. SP Nick Martinez is a candidate to enter the rotation if the team makes a change. SPs Nick Tepesch and Scott Baker are other options in the minors.
Fantasy Tip: The experiment with Scheppers as a starter could soon be coming to an end. His outing next week will likely determine his fate. There are better options out there on the waiver wire in mixed leagues right now.
