Edgardo Alfonzo is hoping to receive an invite to spring training from some team this winter, hopefully the Mets.

Since Alfonzo last appeared in a major league uniform back in 2006 and has been playing in Long Island, Mexico, Venezuela and Japan since. He won the Japanese championship with the Yomiuri Giants last season but hit just .146/.293/.217 in 41 at-bats. A non-roster invite to the Mets' spring training would be a nice feel-good story, but anything more than that and the story then just becomes another example of Met futility.

Edgardo Alfonzo - 3B - Rangers

Edgardo Alfonzo, who last played in the majors with the Blue Jays in 2006, has signed on with the Yomiuri Giants of Japan.

Alfonzo hit .322/.383/.483 in 242 at-bats in the Venezuelan Winter League, but he wasn't drawing significant interest from major league teams. The 35-year-old spent 2008 playing in Mexico after failing to make the Rangers out of spring training.

Edgardo Alfonzo - 3B - Rangers

Free agent Edgardo Alfonzo went 2-for-3 hit his seventh homer of the VWL season on Wednesday.

Alfonzo is batting .371/.432/.581 in 124 at-bats. He currently ranks fifth in the eight-team league in homers and seventh in OPS.

Edgardo Alfonzo - 3B - Rangers

Edgardo Alfonzo homered, doubled and drove in three runs Saturday for Magallanes of the VWL.

After being let go by the Rangers at the end of spring training, Alfonzo spent time in Mexico this year, hitting a disappointing .280/.355/.379 in 214 at-bats. He's 7-for-20 with two homers so far in Venezuela. Some team will likely give him a minor league contract this winter.

Edgardo Alfonzo - 3B - Rangers

Rangers released INF Edgardo Alfonzo, RHP Jason Davis and C Chris Stewart.

Edgardo Alfonzo - 3B - Rangers

Rangers signed infielder Edgardo Alfonzo to a minor league contract.

Alfonzo apparently caught the Rangers eyes while hitting .345/.414/.525 in 139 at-bats in Venezuela. He'll still have quite a fight on his hands in spring training if he expects to make the team as a utilityman. Since Michael Young and Ian Kinsler so rarely get days off, the Rangers only need to carry one backup infielder and Ramon Vazquez is likely to earn the job.

Edgardo Alfonzo - 3B - Rangers

Free agent Edgardo Alfonzo hit his third and fourth homers Thursday for Magallanes of the VWL.

With four homers in his last seven games, Alfonzo is batting .286/.384/.524 in 63 at-bats. A strong winter might cause some team to give the veteran an invitation to spring training.

Edgardo Alfonzo - 3B - Rangers

Free agent Edgardo Alfonzo had two hits, including his first homer, Wednesday in the Venezuelan Winter League.

Alfonzo hasn't given up on making it back to the majors, though he's a real long shot at this point. He's hitting .279/.392/.395 in 13 games in Venezuela.

Edgardo Alfonzo - 3B - Rangers

Edgardo Alfonzo is set to play for the Long Island Ducks of the Atlantic League this season.

Alfonzo's Atlantic League rights were owned by the Bridgeport Bluefish, a team for which he played briefly last year, so the Ducks had to acquire him in a trade involving former major leaguers Bucky Jacobsen and Pat Mahomes.

Edgardo Alfonzo - 3B - Rangers

Edgardo Alfonzo is not expected to be called up the major leagues and rumors continue to swirl that the veteran has already been released.

Mets officials accompanying the big-league team said they were unaware of his release. It looks like Alfonzo's career could be just about finished though. He hit just .126 this year after brief stints with the Angels, Jays and Mets.

Edgardo Alfonzo - 3B - Rangers

Triple-A Norfolk's Edgardo Alfonzo homered and doubled twice on Tuesday.

After a slow start, Alfonzo is batting .262/.349/.377 in 130 at-bats since joining Norfolk six weeks ago. If the club is willing to free up a 40-man roster spot, he could join the Mets in September. He's outhitting Anderson Hernandez and Ruben Gotay.

Edgardo Alfonzo - 3B - Rangers

Mets signed infielder Edgardo Alfonzo to a minor league contract.

Back with his original organization. Alfonzo had just signed with an independant league club last week, going 4-for-14 in four games. The Mets will assign him to Triple-A Norfolk. It's unlikely that he'll be of any use down the stretch.

Edgardo Alfonzo - 3B - Rangers

Edgardo Alfonzo signed Friday with the Bridgeport Bluefish of the independant Atlantic League.

Sure, it seems like quite a fall, but at least he wasn't reduced to signing with the Cubs. Alfonzo was cut by the Jays last month after hitting .162/.279/.189 in 37 at-bats.

Edgardo Alfonzo - 3B - Rangers

Blue Jays released infielder Edgardo Alfonzo.

Alfonzo hit .162/.279/.189 in 37 at-bats for the Jays, putting him at .126/.200/.149 in 87 at-bats this season. He probably doesn't have anything left to contribute.

2B	1	Ian Kinsler D.L. Rangers placed 2B Ian Kinsler on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 18, with an intercostal strain. Kinsler hasn't started the last two games with rib soreness and said he still felt discomfort during batting practice on Sunday. The Rangers aren't overly concerned about the injury, but top prospect Jurickson Profar will be called up to replace Kinsler on the active roster. Kinsler is batting .302/.369/.500 with seven home runs through his first 40 games this season. May 19

S	1	Matt Harrison D.L. Matt Harrison recently had a setback with his back that required an additional surgery on Wednesday. Harrison underwent an operation on April 23 to repair a herniated disk in his lower back but began feeling additional discomfort this week, necessitating another procedure. According to T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com, the Rangers are "operating under the assumption that Harrison will pitch again this season, but he will be out for at least three months." In other words, we won't see him again until August at the earliest, and it seems like there's a good chance it will be longer than that. May 1
	2	Yu Darvish
	3	Derek Holland
	4	Alexi Ogando D.L. Alexi Ogando (biceps) has been playing catch but said he is only throwing around "40 percent." "I don't know when they'll let me throw hard," the right-hander added. Ogando said that he's feeling better, so there's definitely some progress even if it might be coming slowly. There is no structural damage in Ogando's biceps, but it's unclear when he'll return. May 21
	5	Nick Tepesch
	6	Justin Grimm
	7	Colby Lewis D.L. Colby Lewis (elbow) acknowledged on Monday afternoon that he's unhappy with his fastball velocity. Lewis was sitting around 85-86 mph in his rehab start Monday at Double-A Frisco and wants to be closer to 89-91 mph by the time he returns to the major leagues. The hope had been that he would be ready to rock during the first week of June, but a more realistic timetable calls for him to be activated near the middle of the month. Lewis is on his way back from major right elbow surgery. May 20
	8	Neftali Feliz D.L. Neftali Feliz (elbow) is long-tossing at 120 feet. Feliz's rehab from Tommy John surgery is going fine, although it's not yet been announced when he'll be ready to throw off a mound. We expect him to return to a major league mound late in the summer. May 19
	9	Ross Wolf
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Joe Nathan
	2	Joakim Soria D.L. Joakim Soria (elbow) will be shut down for 2-3 weeks with a strained pectoral muscle and is now not expected to return until around July 1. A tough break for the Rangers, as Soria had been slated to join the Rangers' bullpen as soon as late next month. The good news is that his surgically-repaired elbow is fine. The Rangers will continue to use a host of players to set up for Joe Nathan. Apr 22
	3	Tanner Scheppers
	4	Robbie Ross
	5	Jason Frasor
	6	Michael Kirkman
	7	Joseph Ortiz
	8	Neal Cotts
	9	Justin Miller D.L. Justin Miller (elbow) will begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock on Friday. Miller is working his way back from Tommy John surgery. He'll need plenty of rehab time but could be a relief option for the Rangers next month. May 16
