Rangers Designate David Carpenter

By Jeff Todd | August 19, 2019 at 3:13pm CDT

The Rangers announced that they have designated righty David Carpenter for assignment. It’s the second time he has been bumped from the MLB roster this season.

The move coincides with the team’s decision to send fellow right-hander Adrian Sampson to the 10-day injured list due to a lower back issue. To take the open roster spots, the club has recalled first baseman/outfielder Scott Heineman and righty Phillips Valdez.

Carpenter, 34, made it back to the majors this season for the first time since 2015. And he earned his way back up after his brief initial stint. Over 34 2/3 Triple-A innings on the season, he carries a 1.82 ERA with 9.9 K/9 and 3.1 BB/9. Unfortunately, Carpenter hasn’t shown up in his limited big league frames, allowing four earned runs with a 2:4 K/BB ratio in four appearances.

    Why not designate Sampson too? He went from a complete game to now getting shuffled down to just mopup and being bad there too.

      It’s precisely because he flashed enough potential to throw a complete game and pitch well that the Rangers haven’t given up on him. He’s probably not a long term solution in the rotation, but he has the potential to be a serviceable arm with team control, which is more than can be said about Carpenter.

    Interesting fact about Adrian Sampson:

    He tore a flexor tendon throwing warmup pitches against the Tigers in his second career start. I just thought it was interesting that he was injured BEFORE the game. You don’t see that too often.

      Eduardo Rodriguez did injure his knee before a game against the Orioles.

    Carpenter is in no was a long term piece…Sampson may not be either but he has shown flashes.
    Not the time of year to be giving up on the kids.

      Sampson, until last couple of relief appearances has look good in the relief role. he did have several very good outings as a starter earlier in the year. I’ve thought he would be best as a long reliever, a guy that can give you 2-3 innings. Worth keeping to see what the spring brings to Texas.
