Sleepless Dillon Gee not complaining about joining Rangers

Dillon Gee only got a few hours of sleep last night but he’s not complaining.

The veteran pitcher who was called up from Triple A Round Rock to replace A.J. Griffin arrived at the Rangers’ Rogers Centre clubhouse about two hours before first pitch Saturday.

Griffin was pulled from Friday’s start in the second inning with a strained left intercostal muscle. Moments later, during Round Rock’s game, Gee was informed that he was joining the Rangers in Toronto, his first stint with the club he grew up watching in Cleburne.

3.88 Earned-run average for right-hander Dillon Gee in nine starts for Triple A Round Rock.
