Rangers Put Martin, Curvelo on IL and Call Up Collyer, Quantrill

Overview

• Texas placed relievers Chris Martin with a right shoulder impingement and Luis Curvelo with a right biceps strain on the 15-day injured list Wednesday, prompting immediate bullpen changes.
• The club purchased the contracts of Gavin Collyer and veteran Cal Quantrill, with Collyer set for his major-league debut and Quantrill expected to provide long relief.
• To clear 40-man roster space, the Rangers moved starter Cody Bradford to the 60-day IL after rehab soreness and designated reliever Marc Church for assignment.
• Bradford cannot return before May 24, which delays a planned rotation reinforcement and presses Texas to lean on internal arms.
• The team did not add Josh Sborz to the roster, and he exercised an assignment clause that alerts other clubs to his availability on a major-league deal.
