Texas Rangers catcher Jose Trevino is going to be unavailable for a few days after slipping and injuring himself this morning, the team announced.
In order to have a healthy backup catcher on the roster, the Rangers have purchased the contract of John Hicks from AAA Round Rock. To clear a spot on the active roster, the Rangers have optioned Jason Martin to AAA Round Rock. To clear a spot on the 40 man roster, the Rangers have designated pitcher Shaun Anderson for assignment.
Presumably Trevino is only going to miss a few days, or else he would have been placed on the injured list.
