The Texas Rangers announced their first round of cuts today, involving 11 players.
Pitchers Dane Acker, Skylar Hales and Kohl Drake, catchers Malcolm Moore and Cooper Johnson, infielders Jax Biggers, Cody Freeman, Abimelec Ortiz and Sebastian Walcott, and outfielder Trevor Hauver — all of whom were in camp as non-roster invitees — have been re-assigned to the minor league camp.
In addition, pitcher Jose Corniell has been optioned to AA Frisco.
Most of these players are prospects who were in major league camp for experience purposes and to provide bodies when needed for early spring games.
