Texas Rangers transactions: The Texas Rangers have placed pitcher Chris Martin on the 10 day disabled list, the Rangers announced today. Taking Martin’s place on the active roster is righthanded reliever Ricky Rodriguez, who has been recalled from AAA Round Rock.
Martin has had an adventurous couple of days, as he was optioned on Tuesday to make room to activate Ronald Guzman from the disabled list (a move that was apparently unpopular with his bullpen mates, as Martin has pitched well this year and didn’t deserve to be sent down), and then was recalled yesterday when Tony Barnette went on the disabled list with a strained lat.
