ARLINGTON -- Right-hander Yovani Gallardo, trying to get back to the majors at age 32, is among the candidates to replace ailing right-hander Doug Fister in the Texas Rangers' rotation.
The Rangers on Sunday put Fister on the disabled list because of a strained right knee. Manager Jeff Banister indicated the club expects to be without Fister for more than the minimum 10 days.
"We have to make plans to have somebody else in that spot," Banister said. "I don't foresee this being a 10-day event."
Gallardo, of Fort Worth Trimble Tech, went to spring training with Milwaukee on a minor-league deal and took his release on March 26.
