Something that was announced earlier this week, but which may have been lost in all the discussion about the trades the Texas Rangers made, and the trades the Texas Rangers didn’t make, is that Kyle Cody has been announced as the team’s starting pitcher on Friday, September 4, in Seattle against the Mariners.
The 26 year old Cody was added to the 40 man roster this past offseason, a move that some found surprisingly, given that Cody missed virtually all of 2018 and 2019 due to a damaged UCL that ultimately required Tommy John surgery.
