SURPRISE, Ariz. -- The Rangers have scheduled right-hander A.J. Griffin to pitch in Tuesday's Cactus League game against the White Sox. The start falls in line with the slot for the club's fifth starter.
Veteran right-hander Jeremy Guthrie, in camp on a Minor League contract, expects to hear on Monday whether he'll make the team. Based on being asked to pitch in a Minor League game on Sunday, Guthrie doesn't come across as being too optimistic.
"That may be some kind of an indication which way they are leaning," said Guthrie, who can become a free agent if he is not added to the Major League roster.
