ARLINGTON - Ariel Jurado didn't make it through the third inning Tuesday in a 8-4 loss to the Los Angeles Dodgers. He has a 6.69 ERA. And he has been the best of the starting pitching candidates the Rangers have called up from the minors this year.
That says a lot; most of it profane.
Before the week is out, though, the pool of names, could increase.
Maybe.
With the Rangers able to expand their roster up to 40 on Saturday, it seemed a foregone conclusion that Yohander Mendez, who had one dreadful major league start earlier this year, would join what could be a mish-mash of guys auditioning for 2019 spots in September.
