The Texas Rangers have activated pitcher Dane Dunning today, the team announced. To make room for him on the active roster, the team optioned pitcher Gerson Garabito to AAA Round Rock.
More significant, however, is the move that Bruce Bochy indicated is coming tomorrow. Bochy said prior to today’s game that infielder Josh Jung will be activated for Friday’s game in Toronto, and will be in the starting lineup.
This is a rather big surprise, as the team had indicated Jung would be starting a rehab assignment on Friday. Instead Jung, who has been on the injured list most of the season, will be facing the Jays and lefty starter Yusei Kikuchi.
