Scheppers not in Rangers’ plans after being shipped to Triple A

Right-hander Tanner Scheppers was outrighted to Triple A Round Rock on Saturday after being reinstated from the 10-day disabled list in a move that takes him off the 40-man roster and leaves his future with the Rangers in flux.

Scheppers was slowed at the end of spring training with abdominal soreness, but pitched well in Cactus League games. Even before the injury, though, he was told that he would not make the team.

Durability has been an issue for Scheppers since he attempted to become a starting pitcher in 2014, but not all of his injuries have been arm-related.
