Overview

  • The Texas Rangers moved right-hander Cal Quantrill to the 15-day injured list after he left a game early with right lat tightness and signs of reduced velocity.
  • Winston Santos was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock to provide immediate pitching depth and begin a third stint with the big-league club.
  • Quantrill has been used as both a starter and reliever this season and owns strong numbers, including a 2.86 ERA overall and a 1.75 ERA over his last 11 appearances.
  • Right fielder Brandon Nimmo was scratched from the lineup for illness before the game, creating a second short-term roster disruption on the same day.
  • The Rangers removed Quantrill as a precaution and will monitor his recovery while relying on minor-league arms to cover short-term rotation and bullpen needs.
