The Texas Rangers have recalled infielder Justin Foscue, the team announced today. In addition, even though the Rangers have an open spot on the active roster due to Jake Burger being placed on the injured list yesterday, the Rangers optioned outfielder Michael Helman to AAA Round Rock.
One would have simply assumed that Foscue could be summoned without also sending down Helman, since that still leaves an open spot on the active roster. However, reports indicate that first baseman/DH Rowdy Tellez is with the team in Arlington currently, and will be added to the active roster tomorrow prior to the Rangers’ game against the Detroit Tigers.
