Nick Tepesch's option reversed, now on the major league disabled list

Nick Tepesch has been moved from the minor league disabled list to the major league disabled list, with his option nullified and his status being made retroactive to the start of the season, per Evan Grant.

Evan sets forth the service time and related issues that stem from this move, but what is particularly noteworthy is that this sets the stage for the Rangers to make a 40 man roster move.  While Tepesch was in the minors, he was occupying a 40 man roster spot.  Since Tepesch is now on the major league disabled list, he can be moved at some point to the 60 day d.
