Chirinos to i.l., Trevino, Nicasio active

To take the place of Chirinos, as well as Edinson Volquez, who was placed on the 45 day injured list yesterday, on the active roster, the Rangers have brought up Jose Trevino and Juan Nicasio from the Alternate Training Site.
Trevino was sent down when the rosters went from 30 to 28 active players, as the Rangers felt they couldn’t afford the luxury of three catchers at that point. Trevino is now back, and will presumably be splitting time with Jeff Mathis until Chirinos is ready to return.
