ARLINGTON, Texas -- Jason Grilli has joined the Texas Rangers, giving them a veteran presence in a struggling bullpen.
Grilli was added to the roster Monday, a day after Texas acquired him in a trade from the Toronto Blue Jays.
The Rangers also reinstated left-handed pitcher Martin Perez from the 10-day disabled list to start the series opener against Boston. To make room on the 25-man roster, right-hander Keone Kela was put on the 10-day DL with right shoulder soreness and lefty Dario Alvarez was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock.
