We have some pitching on the farm news…
Demarcus Evans, who was designated for assignment when a 40 man roster spot had to be cleared for the return of Glenn Otto from the COVID list, cleared waivers and has been outrighted to AAA.
Meanwhile, as the Rangers look for a possible fifth starter (and likely for a fourth starter as well, give. Otto’s struggled), Spencer Howard has been added to the team’s taxi squad. The taxi squad players travel with the team, but are not part of the active roster. Nonetheless, with Howard now with the major league club, it appears likely he will be activated to make a start during this coming week’s series in Baltimore, likely on July 5.
