Edinson Volquez reaches major league deal with Rangers

Right-hander Edinson Volquez and the Texas Rangers have agreed to a one-year, $2 million contract, according to multiple reports.

The agreement was first reported by FanCred Sports.

The 35-year-old right-hander did not pitch last season while recovering from ligament reconstruction surgery on his throwing elbow in 2017.

Volquez had agreed to a minor league contract with the Rangers last February, returning to his original team with a chance to be a candidate for the rotation in 2019. The deal has now been converted into a major league contract, according to The Athletic.
