hopefully 1 run isnt enough vs Felix, maybe the long 1/2 inning there will get him off his game a bit

N Mart and now Alvarez both have been up already, one of which may be headed out of Seattle tonight or tomorrow when they need to make a spot on the 25 for Cashner tomorrow

LeClerc = the answer.

 

[Duane1952]

LeClerc has been amazing.

 

[Bmurph]

LeClerc has been amazing.

and then not so much, likely shouldn't have gone out there the next inning after the adrenaline was all revved up and then sat for the top of the inning

 

[Bmurph]

Hope Cashner is better than he has been in the past, though I have my doubts on him

 

[Kelleyman]

Wow Schepp outrighted off the 40. And not even a full 40 man roster. Guess we are going to add within. Goons check who is Ruke 5 eligible

Rangers Outright Tanner Scheppers

By Charlie Wilmoth | April 15, 2017 at 4:22pm CDT

The Rangers have announced that they’ve activated righty Andrew Cashner (triceps) from the 10-day DL. To clear roster space, they’ve optioned righty Nick Martinez to Triple-A Round Rock and outrighted righty Tanner Scheppers to Triple-A Round Rock, removing him from their 40-man roster. Cashner is set to make his Rangers debut tonight against the Mariners.

The 30-year-old Scheppers was a first-round pick in 2009 and showed glimpses of potential with the Rangers, routinely throwing in the mid-90s and generally performing well in his first two years in the big leagues, 2012 and 2013. He was the Rangers’ Opening Day starter in 2014, but he ended up missing portions of 2014 and 2015 with elbow and knee injuries. Since then, he’s struggled to reestablish himself in the Rangers’ bullpen, and his peripherals haven’t been nearly as impressive as his velocity. Injuries continued to bother him, as well — he missed much of the 2016 season after having surgery on his left knee. He had begun this season on the 10-day DL with abdominal discomfort and had made two rehab appearances with Round Rock.
