Texas Rangers transactions: Ricky Rodriguez has been optioned to AAA Round Rock, the Texas Rangers announced today. The righthanded relief pitcher was called up on June 18 and was active for the three game series against the Kansas City Royals, but didn’t get into a game.
The Rangers announced that a corresponding 25 man roster move would be announced tomorrow. That move is almost certainly going to be activating relief pitcher Chris Martin from the disabled list. Martin was put on the disabled list retroactive to June 12 for his injured lower body part after hurting himself banging into the bullpen fence running onto the field in the midst of that Robinson Chirinos/Matt Kemp drama, and he is not eligible to be activated until June 22.
