The Texas Rangers have recalled relief pitcher Josh Sborz to be the 27th man on the active roster for Sunday’s doubleheader against the New York Yankees.
As we mentioned on Friday, when the Friday game was called very early in the day due to rain and rescheduled as part of a Sunday doubleheader, one of the advantages of calling the game so early was that it allowed the Sunday doubleheader to be set with at least 48 hours notice. Under the MLB rules, for a doubleheader scheduled at least 48 hours ahead of time, teams have the ability to have a 27th player on the active roster for the doubleheader.
