Share: Rangers | Martin Perez with nice encore performance Wed, 23 Apr 2014 15:38:22 -0700 Texas Rangers SP Martin Perez allowed just three hits in a shutout effort against the Oakland Athletics Wednesday, April 23, after coming off his first career shutout and complete game in his last outing. Perez struck out three and walked two in 108 pitches and didn't allow a hit until the fourth inning. He hasn't allowed an earned run in 26 consecutive innings. Share: Rangers | Pitchers thriving with Robinson Chirinos Wed, 23 Apr 2014 14:07:51 -0700 Texas Rangers pitchers enter action Wednesday, April 23, carrying a 2.36 ERA in games started by C Robinson Chirinos. Fantasy Tip: Chirinos had some prospect hype years ago and, if he can score more playing time over J.P. Arencibia, he could scrape a bit of offensive upside with Arlington as his home park. Share: Rangers | Neftali Feliz dealing with fatigue Wed, 23 Apr 2014 11:47:36 -0700 Texas Rangers RP Neftali Feliz has left Triple-A Round Rock due to general soreness and fatigue. However, he's not dealing with a significant physical injury. Fantasy Tip: Feliz's road back from Tommy John surgery has proved more trying than most expected. A return to the Rangers doesn't seem to be anywhere close for their former closer. Share: Rangers | Matt Harrison to return Sunday Wed, 23 Apr 2014 10:42:42 -0700 Texas Rangers SP Matt Harrison (back) will come off the disabled list to make his season debut against the Seattle Mariners Sunday, April 27, according to manager Ron Washington. Harrison last pitched on April 6 of last season. He pitched eight shutout innings on 86 pitches for Double-A Frisco Sunday, April 20. Fantasy Tip: Harrison's poor health in recent seasons makes him a risky pitching commodity. Don't expect an immediate return to his 2012 numbers now that he's healthy. Watch him in mixed leagues, for now, and take the leap in single-universe leagues if you're desperate. Share: Rangers | Daniel Robertson acquired, Pedro Figueroa to DL Wed, 23 Apr 2014 09:53:56 -0700 The Texas Rangers acquired OF Daniel Robertson from the San Diego Padres Wednesday, April 23, and brought him up to the big leagues. In a corresponding move, RP Pedro Figueroa (elbow) was placed on the disabled list with elbow inflammation. Share: Rangers | Hector Noesi designated Tue, 22 Apr 2014 20:56:44 -0700 The Texas Rangers designated P Hector Noesi for assignment Tuesday, April 22. Share: Rangers | Shin-Soo Choo avoids DL for now Tue, 22 Apr 2014 20:56:13 -0700 Updating a previous report, Texas Rangers OF Shin-Soo Choo (ankle) is not headed for the 15-day disabled list for now due to his high ankle sprain. However, he will not play again during the series in Oakland, and will be re-evaluated in Seattle before the series against the Mariners which starts Friday, April 25. Share: Rangers | Robinson Chirinos set to start entire series Tue, 22 Apr 2014 18:04:13 -0700 Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington will use C Robinson Chirinos for all three games behind the plate this week against the Oakland Athletics, with C J.P. Arencibia starting none. Chirinos started Monday, April 21, is starting Tuesday, April 22, and is likely for Wednesday, April 23. Washington wants to pair Chirinos with SP Martin Perez, as the two are friends and former teammates in Venezuela. Perez is scheduled to start Wednesday. Fantasy Tip: Chirinos is worth using as a No. 2 catcher in AL-only fantasy leagues and some deeper mixed formats, while Arencibia is only worth keeping rostered in the deepest of AL play. Share: Rangers | Shin-Soo Choo could land on DL Tue, 22 Apr 2014 16:03:18 -0700 Texas Rangers OF Shin-Soo Choo (ankle) is not in the starting lineup, as expected, Tuesday, April 22. He's dealing with a sprained left ankle and could land on the disabled list. Choo said he still has pain in his ankle. Fantasy Tip: Michael Choice, the only other outfielder on the team's 40-man roster, is starting in place of Choo. Choice would become a popular addition in AL leagues if Choo lands on the DL. Stay tuned. Share: Rangers | Nick Martinez recalled Tue, 22 Apr 2014 08:39:51 -0700 The Texas Rangers recalled SP Nick Martinez from Double-A Frisco Tuesday, April 22. Share: Rangers | Shin-Soo Choo exits Tue, 22 Apr 2014 05:08:12 -0700 Texas Rangers OF Shin-Soo Choo (ankle) left the game Monday, April 21, with a sprained left ankle after he turned it running to first base. X-rays were negative, but he'll have an MRI and likely miss the next two games. The earliest he could return is Friday, April 25. Fantasy Tip: Michael Choice could see a couple of starts in his absence and is worth consideration in AL-only leagues. Share: Rangers | Matt Harrison on target for Friday Mon, 21 Apr 2014 20:54:33 -0700 Texas Rangers SP Matt Harrison (back) might return to the rotation from the 15-day disabled list as early as Friday, April 25, against the Seattle Mariners. Harrison threw a light bullpen session Monday, April 21, and is expected to throw a longer session Tuesday, April 22. "We'll make a determination after he gets all his work in," manager Ron Washington said. Share: Rangers | Kevin Kouzmanoff's streak ends Mon, 21 Apr 2014 05:29:36 -0700 Texas Rangers 3B Kevin Kouzmanoff snapped his hitting streak at 10 games Sunday, April 20.
