Nice, heads-up play by all concerned on that DP.

Just watching a feed. Will have to see it later. Was it a 3-6-3 DP? Or 3-6-1?

Good job Rangers, taking 3 out 4.

 

[BULLPEN FAILURE]

Martin Perez has this amazing ability to look incredibly shaky, and then at the end of the day, he's got a quality start on the books.

 

[Nightcrawler]

Hoping the tribe can get us a win tonight.... The pitching match ups in this next series are brutal. Mariners snuck King Felix back in time and we get iwakuma as always.



Edit: scratch that... It said we were set to face him a few days ago. Now it says Iwakuma, Paxton, and Miley who has been abysmal.

Any word on Beltre if he is heading to the DL?

Any word on Beltre if he is heading to the DL?

Rangers' Adrian Beltre: Not in lineup Thursday
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Beltre (hamstring) is not in the Rangers' lineup Thursday against Houston, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Beltre tweaked his left hamstring late in Wednesday night's game, and the Rangers will give him the day off as he continues to deal with lingering tightness. At this point, it's unclear whether Beltre will miss additional time, but Texas will go with Jurickson Profar at third base for the time being. Profar will lead off Thursday against Houston's Collin McHugh.

Rangers' Drew Stubbs: Receives cortisone injection
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Stubbs (toe) received a cortisone injection Wednesday, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Stubbs remains at least a week away from embarking on a rehab assignment, but since receiving the shot he's returned to all baseball activities. Of course, a cortisone shot is far from a permanent solution, but it could help to accelerate Stubbs' return to the Rangers.

I'm glad to see you have a bit more optimism.

Thats where he has needed to be all along

Rangers' Luke Jackson: Optioned back to Round Rock
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Jackson was optioned back to Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Catcher Robinson Chirinos was activated from the disabled list Thursday, so Jackson will head to Triple-A to free up a spot on the 25-man roster. The right-hander has made five appearances for theRangers on the season, allowing 11 hits and six earned runs over 7.2 innings. He's fared better at Round Rock, where he holds a 3.68 ERA and 1.36 WHIP.

Good news here

Rangers' Yu Darvish: Plays catch with no issues
by RotoWire Staff | RotoWire
Darvish (shoulder) played catch Thursday and reported no issues, Jake Kaplan of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Darvish exited his start Wednesday with tightness in his throwing shoulder, but he said after the game that he expects to make his next scheduled start. The right-hander is slated to throw his normal bullpen session Friday, and if that goes well he could be officially cleared to start Monday.

Rangers' Robinson Chirinos: Activated to 25-man roster on Thursday
by RotoWire Staff | Special to CBSSports.com
Chirinos (forearm) was activated from the disabled list Thursday, but is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Astros, Stefan Stevenson reports.

Chirinos was expected to rejoin the team today, but wasn't originally expected to be activated until theRangers' weekend series with the Mariners. In a corresponding move, the Rangers optioned right-hander Luke Jackson to make room for Chirinos on the 25-man roster. The catcher has been on the disabled list ever since he fractured his forearm in early April. Bryan Holladay will start at catcher on Thursday, and bat ninth.

Drew FYI the Inn is full. When Choo comes back Hoying goes back down probably and Stubbs has no position.

Wait and see here

Rangers' Phil Klein: Has been designated for assignment
by RotoWire Staff | Special to CBSSports.com
Klein was designated for assignment Thursday.

This move was made in order to make room for Robinson Chirinos on the 40-man roster after being activated from the disabled list Thursday. Klein was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday after giving up five earned runs during 2.1 innings of work over his past three appearances. The 27-year-old is useful as organizational depth, but has struggled during his time in the majors.

Think we'll get Choo back for the next series. Not sure on that tho.

Think we'll get Choo back for the next series. Not sure on that tho.

Choo (hamstring) is expected to play back-to-back games in the outfield this weekend as a final step in his rehab assignment, Ryan Posner of MLB.com reports.

Choo is expected to come off the DL on Monday barring any setbacks over the weekend.

That Houston piece of garbage who was tweeting to Evan Grant last night that it was great that Beltre and Darvish got hurt just brought the bad karma to his team that everyone told him would come around- Correa day to day with a sprained ankle.
