ANAHEIM -- The Rangers ended their trial with long reliever Logan Verrett, designating him for assignment on Friday to make room for Wandy Rodriguez.
Verrett was a Rule 5 Draft pick, so he must go through waivers. If he clears, then he has to be offered back to the Mets for $25,000. The Orioles took him in the Rule 5 Draft and the Rangers claimed him on waivers at the end of Spring Training. He was 0-1 with a 6.00 ERA in four appearances.
"We like what we saw from Logan," Rangers manager Jeff Banister said.
