SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Rangers general manager Jon Daniels, manager Jeff Banister and their respective staffs took a hard look on Monday where the club stands 10 days before Opening Day.
The Rangers claimed first baseman Tommy Joseph off waivers from the Phillies to add right-handed depth at the position. He will likely start the season at Double-A Frisco, with Joey Gallo at first base for the Rangers and Ronald Guzman playing the position at Triple-A Round Rock.
Joseph has been with the Phillies the past two years.
