Texas Rangers transactions: Locke St. John was recalled before Wednesday night’s game with the Anaheim Angels, the team announced today. To make room for St. John on the active roster, the Rangers optioned infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa to AA Frisco.
I don’t really know what this is about. Kiner-Falefa was a catcher earlier in the year, got hurt, and then was moved back to the infield when he was rehabbing. When Asdrubal Cabrera was released, Kiner-Falefa was recalled and expected to get the bulk of the playing time at first base, but with Danny Santana getting reps at the position now along with Logan Forsythe, I guess it was determined IKF was better off getting regular playing time in the minors.
