The last week of August stirs up talk of who will becoming up from the minors when rosters expand Sept. 1.
Players can have up to 40 players on their active roster, which completely changes game strategy just in time for the stretch run to the postseason. Some will add a bunch, and some won’t.
The Texas Rangers are looking at a adding a handful of players, perhaps as many as six. But the number will be larger than that when they reinstate players from the 10-day disabled list.
Outfielders Delino DeShields and Ryan Rua will back on the active roster for the final month, and so will infielder Hanser Alberto and right-hander Bartolo Colon.
