ARLINGTON -- Texas Rangers manager Jeff Banister announced prior to Sunday's game that Austin Bibens-Dirkx will start Tuesday's game in Seattle. He was added to the Rangers' roster to start Game 1 of the current series with Kansas City, and took the loss in that game, giving up four earned runs on six hits in 6 1/3 innings.
The Rangers will then activate Matt Moore from the 10-day disabled list for Wednesday's game against the Mariners. Moore is 1-5 with a 7.99 ERA in nine starts this season. By using Bibens-Dirkx and Moore, Banister is giving his other four starters an extra day of rest between starts.
