Texas Rangers rotation and probable pitchers: The Texas Rangers have announced that pitcher Doug Fister, who has been on the disabled list with a right hip strain, will be activated from the d.l. on Wednesday, April 25, when he will start against the Oakland A’s. In addition, per Evan Grant on Twitter, Bartolo Colon will start on Saturday, April 28, on the road in Toronto.
Fister’s addition will likely require the Rangers to remove a pitcher from the active roster to make room for him. The Rangers promoted Jose Leclerc over the weekend, sending down Ryan Rua to add Leclerc, and that left the Rangers with a three man bench.
