Texas Rangers transactions: Leody Taveras, Tyler Phillips, Demarcus Evans, Sherten Apostel, Kyle Cody and Anderson Tejeda were added to the 40 man roster today by the Rangers, it was announced. There were only four open 40 man roster spots, so to clear two spots, the Rangers designated C.D. Pelham and Taylor Guerrieri for assignment.
Taveras, Phillips, Evans and Apostel were identified earlier today as being added by the beat guys. Tejeda, a 21 year old shortstop who converted to switch hitting this year, seemed st the start of 2019 to be a no-brainer to be added, but a bad 2019 that was cut short by shoulder surgery made him more of a bubble guy.
