The Texas Rangers had roster moves both yesterday and today, but with me being on the road yesterday and, you know, that other drama, we didn’t do a post about it, so both days moves are consolidated into this post.
Yesterday, Joe Barlow was activated from the injured list. To make room for him on the active roster, Garrett Richards was designated for assignment. The Richards DFA wasn’t all that surprising, particularly given they will likely need a 40 man roster spot before too long for Josh Jung. Richards was signed to be a multi-inning reliever, but after getting regular use earlier in the season, he ended up as a mop-up man this summer.
