The last of the Texas Rangers’ planned September call-ups arrived Tuesday afternoon as outfielder Willie Calhoun, left-hander C.D. Pelham and right-handers Austin Bibens-Dirkx and Adrian Sampson crammed their way into the clubhouse.
The Rangers had 33 players on the active roster against the Los Angeles Angels, though Sampson wasn’t available after throwing six innings Saturday for Triple A Round Rock.
They joined righty Connor Sadzeck, who was actually recalled Aug. 31, and lefties Zac Curtis and Yohander Mendez as the players added from the minors for the final month, when MLB rosters can expand from 25 to as many as 40.
