The Texas Rangers have recalled infielder/outfielder Ryan Rua from AAA Round Rock today, the team announced, and have placed relief pitcher Tony Barnette on the 10 day disabled list.
Rua, of course, was optioned yesterday to make room on the active roster for Renato Nunez. However, with Jurickson Profar having left yesterday’s game after hitting the ground after being slid into while trying to turn a double play, the Rangers are short on position players on the bench. Profar may end up going on the 7 day concussion disabled list, but for now he’s on the active roster, though unavailable.
