Texas Rangers transactions: Ronald Guzman has been placed on the 7 day disabled list with a concussion, the Rangers announced today. Ryan Rua has been recalled from AAA Round Rock to replace him on the active roster.
This was a move we discussed earlier today as being likely, between Nomar Mazara and Joey Gallo also dealing with hamstring issues and Adrian Beltre being limited. With the three man bench and several achy players, Guzman’s likely unavailability for the next game or two put the Rangers in a position of being dangerously low on bench depth, and so Ryan Rua is back up to give the Rangers some additional options off the bench.
