The Texas Rangers have added newly claimed outfielder D.J. Peters to their active roster and have purchased the contract of pitcher Jimmy Herget from AAA Round Rock. To open up a spot on the active roster for Peters, the Rangers have optioned pitcher Demarcus Evans to Round Rock. To clear a spot on the active and 40 man roster for Herget, the Rangers have designated outfielder David Dahl for assignment.
The biggest move here is Dahl getting the axe. Signed to a free agent contract after he was surprisingly non-tendered by the Colorado Rockies, Dahl was given the left field job amid hopes that he could stay healthy and fulfill the promise he showed in his prospect days.
