The player who will determine the final shape of the Texas Rangers’ Opening Day roster played Friday afternoon for the first time in more than a week, and his postgame report pointed to one thing:
There will be eight relievers and three bench players on the initial 25-man roster of the season.
Joey Gallo said that he had no problems with his strained right groin during four plate appearances and some base running during a Triple A game at the Surprise Recreation Campus.
He hit a two-run homer, walked twice and grounded to first.
