ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Texas Rangers released veteran catcher Sandy León from his minor league contract after breaking camp from Arizona.
Texas announced the move Monday before an exhibition game at home in Texas against Kansas City, the team they share a spring training complex with in Surprise, Arizona.
León signed with the Rangers just before the start of spring training. The 34-year-old catcher played 533 games with five teams over the last 11 seasons.
Mitch Garver is back after missing the second half of last season with the Rangers because of surgery on his right (throwing) arm last July.
