Share: Rangers | Jim Adduci lands on DL Sat, 19 Apr 2014 18:27:28 -0700 The Texas Rangers placed OF Jim Adduci (finger) on the 15-day disabled list Saturday, April 19, due to a broken little finger on his left hand. He is expected to be sidelined four weeks. Share: Rangers | Luis Sardinas recalled Sat, 19 Apr 2014 18:27:03 -0700 The Texas Rangers recalled INF Luis Sardinas from Double-A Frisco Saturday, April 19. Share: Rangers | Chris Snyder retires Sat, 19 Apr 2014 12:38:43 -0700 Texas Rangers minor league C Chris Snyder has announced his retirement. Share: Rangers | Mitch Moreland being rested Fri, 18 Apr 2014 14:32:30 -0700 Texas Rangers 1B Mitch Moreland is receiving a day off Friday, April 18, and will sit against a tough left-hander Saturday, April 19. "His at-bats have been excellent," manager Ron Washington said of Moreland, who reached base four times over the Rangers' previous two games. I've been putting off getting Adduci in there and I need to do it." Share: 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. Share: Rangers | Have interest in Joel Hanrahan Fri, 18 Apr 2014 12:21:16 -0700 The Texas Rangers are in the mix to sign free-agent RP Joel Hanrahan (Red Sox). Hanrahan is a native of Lewisville, Texas, which is a suburb of Dallas. As many as 20 teams have scouted Hanrahan. The Boston Red Sox, New York Yankees, New York Mets, Colorado Rockies, Kansas City Royals and Cleveland Indians are also believed to be interested, and the Minnesota Twins, Detroit Tigers, Toronto Blue Jays and Tampa Bay Rays were reported to be in attendance at his throwing session Thursday, April 17. Fantasy Tip: The Rangers could use some help in their bullpen with Neftali Feliz in the minors and Tanner Scheppers in the starting rotation. If he signs with Texas, he wouldn't be handed the closer's role but would have a shot if Soria didn't work out. Share: Rangers | Matt Harrison update Fri, 18 Apr 2014 05:01:12 -0700 Texas Rangers SP Matt Harrison (back) will make a rehab start at Double-A Frisco Saturday, April 19.

Share: Rangers | Hoping Geovany Soto can return in a few months Thu, 17 Apr 2014 20:03:46 -0700 Texas Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said the team is hopeful that C Geovany Soto (knee) will be able to return to the team in June. Soto is targeting a July return to the team. Share: Rangers | Kevin Kouzmanoff continues to deliver Thu, 17 Apr 2014 15:23:36 -0700 Texas Rangers 3B Kevin Kouzmanoff doubled twice and scored two runs in the team victory Thursday, April 17, and he's hitting .414 since being recalled from the minors April 9. He has hit in all eight games in which he has played this year. Fantasy Tip: Kouzmanoff has resurfaced out of nowhere. He's not dead just yet, fantasy baseball players. In the short term with Adrian Beltre (quadriceps) on the DL, you might as well ride the hot streak in cavernous mixed and AL-only setups. Share: 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. Share: Rangers | Rafael Perez released Thu, 17 Apr 2014 15:18:04 -0700 The Texas Rangers released RP Rafael Perez Thursday, April 17. Share: Rangers | Neal Cotts fine Thu, 17 Apr 2014 11:27:25 -0700 Texas Rangers RP Neal Cotts is not physically injured, but manager Ron Washington elected not to use him in a close game Wednesday, April 16, because Washington said the team has been "riding" Cotts hard recently, and they wanted to give him a breather.
