Rangers signed OF Chih-Hsien Chiang to a minor league contract.

Chiang disappointed in his year and a half in Seattle, batting just .249/.281/.363 with seven homers between Double- and Triple-A in 2012. He's just 24 but will need to rebound to be considered a prospect again. Wed, Dec 5, 2012 06:05:00 PM

Chih-Hsien Chiang - OF - Rangers

Mariners sent OF Chih-Hsien Chiang outright to Double-A Jackson.

Chiang was designated for assignment last week in order to clear a spot on the 40-man roster for Oliver Perez. He has a .238/.269/.336 batting line in the upper minors this season.

Chih-Hsien Chiang - OF - Rangers

Mariners designated OF Chih-Hsien Chiang for assignment.

This move was made to open a spot on the 40-man roster for Oliver Perez. Should the 24-year-old Chiang pass through waivers unclaimed, he will continue to serve as organizational depth at Double-A Jackson.

Sat, Jun 16, 2012 06:30:00 PM

Chih-Hsien Chiang - OF - Rangers

Mariners optioned OF Chih-Hsien Chiang to Double-A Jackson.

The Taiwan native batted .302/.361/.537 with 18 homers, 86 RBI and an .897 OPS over 499 plate appearances at the Double-A level last season. He's an intriguing prospect but one who is not yet big league-ready.

Chih-Hsien Chiang - OF - Rangers

Mariners purchased the contract of OF Chih-Hsien Chiang from Double-A Jackson.

Chiang, 23, was acquired along with Trayvon Robinson this summer in the three-way Erik Bedard deal involving the Dodgers and Red Sox. The Taiwan native batted .302/.361/.537 with 18 homers, 86 RBI and an .897 OPS over 499 plate appearances at the Double-A level this season and remains an intriguing offensive prospect.

Chih-Hsien Chiang - OF - Rangers

Mariners acquired OF Chih-Hsien Chiang from the Red Sox and OF Trayvon Robinson from the Dodgers in Sunday's seven-player, three-team Erik Bedard trade.

Chiang, a 23-year-old native of Taiwan, has posted a .338/.399/.647 batting line, 18 home runs and 76 RBI in 87 games this season at Double-A Portland. He has the chance to become a consistently productive outfielder for the offensively depressed Mariners.

Chih-Hsien Chiang - OF - Rangers

Chih-Hsien Chiang went 3-for-4 with a homer, a triple and five RBI for low Single-A Greenville on Thursday.

Chiang, a 19-year-old signed out of Taiwan last year, is batting .309/.323/.489 in 94 at-bats. The left-handed hitter has impressive power potential for a second baseman. If he can stay at the position, he could develop into one of the Red Sox's top prospects over the next couple of years.

Batters
Pos	Role	Name
C	1	A.J. Pierzynski
	2	Geovany Soto
	3	Robinson Chirinos
1B	1	Mitch Moreland D.L. Mitch Moreland (hamstring) will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Frisco on Monday. Moreland was cleared after running the bases on Sunday with no issues. He'll play at Frisco for three games before being activated on Friday, the first day he's eligible. The first baseman has been out since June 6 with a right hamstring strain. Jun 16
2B	1	Ian Kinsler

SS	1	Elvis Andrus
3B	1	Adrian Beltre
LF	1	David Murphy
	2	Jeff Baker D.L. Rangers placed OF Jeff Baker on the 15-day disabled list with a sprained right thumb. The move is retroactive to June 13, so Baker will be allowed to return in less than 15 days if he's feeling well enough. He suffered the right thumb sprain last week while trying to give a high-five to a teammate. Jun 18

	2	Craig Gentry
RF	1	Nelson Cruz
DH	1	Lance Berkman
Starting Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
S	1	Matt Harrison D.L. Matt Harrison played catch Monday for the first time since his back surgery. Good news, but Harrison will be restricted to flat ground work for another 4-6 weeks before getting back on a mound. Even then, he'll likely need another month to build up his workload. The southpaw isn't expected to rejoin the Rangers' rotation until September, though he could provide a nice boost down the stretch. Jun 17
	2	Yu Darvish
	3	Derek Holland
	4	Alexi Ogando D.L. Alexi Ogando (shoulder) remains limited to flat ground throwing. Ogando still has some soreness in his right shoulder, and the Rangers aren't going to let him thrown from the mound until he's completely pain-free. He'll need to go out on a rehab assignment after throwing off a mound at least a couple times, so the right-hander isn't close to returning. Jun 17
	5	Nick Tepesch
	6	Justin Grimm
	7	Josh Lindblom
	8	Colby Lewis D.L. Colby Lewis (elbow) threw off a mound on Monday. It's the first time he's done so since he was shut down after feeling soreness in the back of his right elbow. Lewis will likely need several more mound sessions before facing hitters, so he's not close to resuming his rehab assignment. Jun 17
	9	Neftali Feliz D.L. Neftali Feliz (elbow) has been throwing off a half mound. He's done so without any issues and should progress to throwing off a full mound before long. Making his way back from Tommy John surgery, Feliz isn't expected to return until August. Jun 9
Relief Pitcher
Pos	Role	Name
R	1	Joe Nathan
	2	Joakim Soria D.L. Joakim Soria (elbow, pectoral) will begin a rehab assignment on Thursday with Double-A Frisco. Soria has thrown multiple bullpen sessions and rounds of live batting practice this month, reporting no issues with his surgically-repaired elbow. He could join the Rangers' bullpen by the end of this month. Jun 18
	3	Tanner Scheppers
	4	Robbie Ross
	5	Jason Frasor
	6	Michael Kirkman D.L. Rangers transferred LHP Michael Kirkman from the 15-day disabled list to the 60-day disables list. Kirkman has experienced a recurrence of the cancer near his right triceps muscle and is sidelined indefinitely. Jun 12
	7	Neal Cotts
	8	Ross Wolf
