Big deal? It's a very big deal.
This is, after all, a Rangers club that stumbled through a 7-14 April and was 7 1/2 games back of first place in its division, which was the biggest deficit of any team at that time. It's a team that lost ace Yu Darvish for the season to Tommy John surgery and No. 2 starter Derek Holland for a 113-game stretch because of a left shoulder strain.
It's a team that was optimistic about the return of Josh Hamilton after his forgettable stint with the Angels, only to have him limited to 38 games because of an assortment of injuries to his left shoulder, left hamstring and right shoulder.
