ARLINGTON, Texas -- Newly signed starter Michael Lorenzen will not be on the Opening Day active roster for the Texas Rangers, who want the All-Star right-hander to build up endurance before moving into their rotation.
General manager Chris Young said Wednesday that Lorenzen will start the season on the 15-day injured list. That move can be backdated to Monday, making Lorenzen eligible to be activated as soon as April 9, during the team's second homestand of the season.
Lorenzen, a first-time All-Star last season with Detroit who threw a no-hitter for Philadelphia after being traded, finalized a $4.
