Texas Rangers transactions: Carlos Tocci has been activated from the 10 day disabled list today, the Texas Rangers announced. To make room for him on the active roster, the Rangers have optioned infielder Hanser Alberto to AAA Round Rock.
Tocci is a Rule 5 selection from the Philadelphia Phillies, and as such cannot be optioned to the minors. The Rangers have to keep him on the major league roster all season in order to retain him, and with his rehab assignment ending today, the Rangers either had to add him to the active roster, waive him, or designate him for assignment (which would give the team seven days to waive or trade him).
