Mike Wood - R - Rangers

Rangers recalled RHP Mike Wood from Triple-A Oklahoma.

Wood steps into the rotation spot created by Kameron's Loe trip to the disabled list. He'll start in Loe's place Saturday, but is not a good fantasy option.

Mon, Aug 6, 2007 10:40:00 AM

Mike Wood - R - Rangers

Rangers optioned RHP Mike Wood to Triple-A Oklahoma.

Wood had a successful start Tuesday against the A's, but the Rangers still needed his roster spot for John Koronka. He'll likely get another chance in two or three weeks.

Wed, May 30, 2007 03:35:00 PM

Mike Wood - R - Rangers

Mike Wood, recalled Monday from Triple-A, baffled the A's with five shutout innings on Tuesday as Texas whipped Oakland 4-0.

Now 1-1 with an ERA of 5.40, Wood gave up five hits and five walks (one intentional), but did not allow the A's to dent the scoreboard. He struck out three and, after this showing, may make the Rangers think about things before they send him back down.

Wed, May 30, 2007 01:08:00 AM

Mike Wood - R - Rangers

Rangers recalled RHP Mike Wood from Triple-A Oklahoma.

Wood will get a start Tuesday against the A's and then likely return to Triple-A prior to Wednesday's game.

Mon, May 28, 2007 01:23:00 PM

Mike Wood - R - Rangers

The Rangers will call up Mike Wood from Triple-A Oklahoma on Tuesday to start against Oakland, manager Ron Washington said.

Wood suffered his first loss in Triple-A this season Thursday at Omaha despite allowing only three runs on four hits in 7 1/3 innings. He is 3-1 with a 2.58 ERA in six starts there. He is 0-1 with a 7.02 ERA in three starts with Texas.

Mike Wood - R - Rangers

Rangers optioned RHP Mike Wood to Triple-A Oklahoma.

Wood has a 7.02 ERA in four starts for the Rangers this year. The club will probably call on someone else next time it needs a replacement for the rotation.

Mon, May 14, 2007 01:19:00 PM

Mike Wood - R - Rangers

Mike Wood did fine work in his spot start Thursday, allowing three runs -- two earned -- in 6 1/3 innings against the Yankees.

Ian Kinsler's two misplays helped the Yankees score an unearned run in the second. Wood's performance today makes him a candidate to take over as the Rangers' fifth starter if Brandon McCarthy struggles again Friday. He's not someone to consider in AL-only leagues.

Thu, May 3, 2007 06:40:00 PM

Mike Wood - R - Rangers

Rangers recalled RHP Mike Wood from Triple-A Oklahoma.

The Rangers might need a long guy with the Yankees in town, and Wood is very capable of providing innings. His stay could be a short one.

Tue, May 1, 2007 07:08:00 PM

Mike Wood - R - Rangers

Rangers optioned RHP Mike Wood to Triple-A Oklahoma.

Kameron Loe and Bruce Chen keep their bullpen spots. Wood had allowed one run in 2 1/3 innings.

Mike Wood - R - Rangers

Rangers signed RHP Mike Wood to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training.

Wood couldn't land a major league deal after being non-tendered by the Rangers earlier this month. Texas originally claimed him off waivers from the Royals in October. He'll compete for a job in middle relief.

Mike Wood - R - Rangers

Rangers non-tendered RHP Mike Wood.

The Rangers knew Wood was a super-two player when they claimed him off waivers from the Royals in October. Still, they weren't willing to go to arbitration him. Wood might want to take his chances in a more pitcher friendly ballpark anyway.

Tue, Dec 12, 2006 11:37:00 PM

Mike Wood - R - Rangers

Rangers claimed RHP Mike Wood off waivers from the Royals.

The Rangers will take a look and see if Wood can become the next Rick Bauer. The 26-year-old had a 5.71 ERA over 64 2/3 innings for the Royals this year. He missed July and August because of a back injury. He was better in 2005, finishing with a 4.46 ERA in 115 innings. While there's little upside here, there are worse 12th pitchers.

Wed, Oct 11, 2006 06:44:00 PM

Mike Wood - R - Rangers

Mike Wood returned to the Royals Friday.

He missed the entire four-game series against the Twins to be with his ailing infant son.

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

Pos	Role	Name
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) underwent an MRI which revealed no structural damage. Ogando was placed on the disabled list on Thursday with biceps tendinitis after he felt some pain during Wednesday's start against the Athletics. It's an encouraging sign that no more serious damage was found, and his stay on the DL should be a short one. Josh Lindblom is expected to hold his place in the rotation while he's sidelined. May 17
	5	Nick Tepesch
	6	Justin Grimm
	7	Josh Lindblom
	8	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
	9	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
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	Cory Burns
	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
