ARLINGTON -- The Rangers won't need a fifth starter until July 21, but the job is now wide open.
The Rangers created the opening by sending rookie right-hander Chi Chi Gonzalez back to Triple-A Round Rock and recalling right-hander Anthony Ranaudo. The Rangers called up Ranaudo to be a long reliever because Anthony Bass was needed for 4 1/3 innings and 86 pitches in Friday's 8-2 loss to the Angels.
