The Texas Rangers have optioned pitcher Kolby Allard to AAA Round Rock, it was announced today. To take his place on the active roster, the Rangers have recalled pitcher Josh Sborz.
In addition, in a procedural move, Spencer Patton, who was on a rehab assignment with AAA Round Rock, was officially activated from the major league injured list yesterday and optioned to Round Rock. Patton remains on the Express active roster, and is just now officially on an optional assignment to the minors rather than being on the major league injured list.
Not much to say about Sborz replacing Allard.
