The Rangers have selected the contract of righty Adrian Sampson. Indeed, he was just called in to relieve in tonight’s game.
To create space on the roster, the club announced two additional moves. Southpaw Kyle Bird was optioned to make way on the active roster, while a 40-man spot was procured by shifting injured hurler Yohander Mendez to the 60-day injured list.
Sampson, a 27-year-old righty, has seen minimal MLB time and dealt with some serious arm issues over the past few seasons. He generated nice results last year at Triple-A, but ended up being non-tendered and re-signed to a minors deal by the Texas organization.
Dudes already pitching right now lol
he already got a loss
He should get used to it.
6 IP, and 1 ER. Nice
Why?
Because they wanted a fresh arm to pitch relief because Smyly was on a pitch count? Is it really that much of a head scracther?
He’ll be demoted for a fresh arm in relatively short order now too after throwing 70 pitches. Wich is a shame, because he pitched pretty well.
