The Rangers have selected the contract of righty David Carpenter, per a club announcement. He’ll take the place of outfielder Zack Granite, who was optioned back.
Carpenter will see MLB action for the first time in quite some time. He last appeared with the Nationals back in 2015, with health problems halting what had been a productive career.
After some indy ball action and a Driveline makeover, Carpenter earned a shot with the Rangers this spring. The 33-year-old has turned in 15 1/3 innings of 1.76 ERA ball thus far at Triple-A, allowing just ten hits and posting a strong combination of 17 strikeouts and four walks.
The “Pride Of Fairmont, WV”!
Welcome back, David!
I’ll never forget that bomb he gave up to uribe and the image of kimbrel in the bullpen disgusted they didn’t bring him in the game
Unlike Freddy Garcia, he panicked and didn’t make pitch.
The Chasen Shreve shadow 😉
the comeback we didnt know we needed.
The Rangers need all the comebacks they can get!
especialy given their all-comeback rotation has worked well so far
Will fit right in.
