The Texas Rangers have informed Hunter Pence and Jeffrey Springs that they will be on the Opening Day roster, per the beat guys on Twitter, and have informed Willie Calhoun and Jordan Romano that they will not be on the Opening Day roster.
Calhoun being sent down is unfortunate, but largely unavoidable, given the makeup of the roster. Calhoun came to camp in great shape, performed, did all the things the team said he needed to do, and is still going to AAA Nashville because there simply aren’t regular at bats for him right now.
