ARLINGTON, Texas -- Texas Rangers veteran right-hander Edinson Volquez has been put on the 45-day injured list with a right oblique strain, effectively ending his season.
The Rangers made the announcement Thursday when they had an off day. A corresponding roster move will be made before Friday's game at Colorado.
Volquez (2-1, 6.35 ERA) sustained the injury when working the fifth inning Tuesday against Seattle. The 37-year-old right-hander won in relief, getting one out and allowing a hit and a walk.
With his win in relief Saturday against the Los Angeles Angels, Volquez got his first big league victory since 2017 with Miami, and his first for the Rangers since 2007.
