As expected, the Rangers have fortified the pen by recalling Tanner Scheppers from AAA
With Keone Kela currently sidelined with a sore elbow, the Rangers have opted to fortify their bullpen by recalling righthander Tanner Scheppers from AAA Round Rock.
Scheppers was dominant as the team's 8th inning guy in 2013, but missed much of 2014 with elbow inflammation after moving to the rotation and being the team's Opening Day starter. This year, he was expected to resume being the 8th inning guy, but an ankle injury slowed him early in the year, and he has had issues with injuries and consistency all season.
