Rangers right-hander Doug Fister was placed on the 10-day disabled list with a a right knee strain and isn't expected to be ready when his spot in the rotation comes around after 10 days.
That means the Rangers are likely to need another spot starter before Fister is healthy again. Fister left his Friday start after feeling soreness during a warmup pitch before the sixth inning. Among the candidates are left-hander Yohander Mendez and right-hander Ariel Jurado. Jurado made his major league debut on May 19 with a start in Chicago against the White Sox.
