Texas Rangers transactions: Drew Hutchison, signed yesterday by the Rangers, has been added to the 25 man roster officially today, the team announced. To make room for Hutchison on the roster, the Rangers have optioned pitcher Austin Bibens-Dirkx to AAA Round Rock.
We talked about the Hutchison signing yesterday, and I speculated that Ariel Jurado might be going down, since Hutchison was joining the rotation. Instead, it is Bibens-Dirkx who goes, which suggests that either the Rangers are going with a six man rotation for the time being, or someone in the rotation is going to the pen.
