Former Padre-Ranger-Padre again Tyson Ross will get another audition for the starting rotation (or bullpen) today against his former Texas team today in Surprise Stadium. Ross struck out 4 and surrendered 2 runs on 3 hits in his ST debut against the Athletics last Saturday. Tyson will get the chance to prove he deserves a spot on the roster in today’s game against a split-squad Rangers team sending out Bartolo Colón.
Chase Headley will make an appearance at 3B after nursing a jammed finger on his throwing hand. The hot-hitting 3B Christian Villanueva will take the DH spot after going 1-3 with an RBI in a win against the Dodgers yesterday.
