Texas Rangers transactions: Scott Heineman, Jose Trevino and Isiah Kiner-Falefa have been recalled from AAA Nashville (for the first two) and AA Frisco (for IKF). To make room for the trio on the roster, the Rangers have designated Asdrubal Cabrera and Tim Federowicz for assignment, and have optioned pitcher Phillips Valdez to AAA Nashville.
The decision to DFA Cabrera and Federowicz was announced after Wednesday’s game. Cabrera was signed to replace Adrian Beltre at third base, and after getting off to a solid start, he struggled both offensively and defensively for much of the season.
