The Texas Rangers made a couple of moves before Monday’s game against the New York Yankees, calling up A.J. Alexy and Yerry Rodriguez from AAA Round Rock. To make room for them on the active roster, the team optioned Tyson Miller to AAA Round Rock, and placed Cole Ragans on the 15 day injured list with a left calf strain.
Alexy and Yerry provide the Rangers with bullpen options who can go multiple innings for this final homestand against the Yankees, which is particularly meaningful given that there’s a doubleheader today. Yerry was called up earlier in the year, but didn’t actually get into a game, so I imagine they’ll make a point of trying to get him an inning today or tomorrow.
