The Texas Rangers have made a couple of moves this weekend. On Friday, the Rangers placed Joe Barlow on the injured list with a blister issue, and recalled A.J. Alexy to take his place on the active roster. On Sunday, the Rangers activated Kole Calhoun from the injured list, and optioned Josh Smith to AAA Round Rock.
On the pitchers, Barlow has been bothered by blister problems on his finger all year, and had just recently been activated from the injured list, where he had been placed due to an earlier blister issue. Alexy is up for now, although Dennis Santana is on a rehab assignment, and if Santana is ready soon, Alexy will likely be sent down then.
