Prior to Friday night’s game, the Texas Rangers placed reliever Grant Anderson on the 15 day injured list with an ankle contusion. To replace him on the active roster, the Rangers have recalled pitcher Owen White.
Anderson pitched in back to back games on September 3 and September 4, ineffectively in each. On 9/3 he retired two of five batters faced while allowing a run on three hits. On 9/4, he allowed a grand slam upon entering the game, then two more hits before being lifted. The move was retroactive to September 5, so he would be eligible to return on September 21.
