Robbie Ross has been moved back to the bullpen.
Ross has put up a 3.07 ERA over 14 2/3 Cactus League innings, but the Rangers prefer to keep him in the bullpen, where he posted a 2.22 mark as a rookie last year. The competition for the No. 5 starter spot is down to Nick Tepesch, Randy Wells, Derek Lowe and Justin Grimm, with Tepesch looking like the favorite at the moment. Mar 21 - 7:35 PM

Robbie Ross - R - Rangers

Robbie Ross tossed three scoreless innings in Sunday's win over the Cubs.

Ross was supposed to pitch five innings, but had to be removed after working up a high pitch count. It was a wildly effective outing, as he allowed three walks and gave up four hits. Ross is competing with Justin Grimm and non-roster invite Nick Tepesch for the final spot in the Rangers' Opening Day rotation.

Robbie Ross - R - Rangers

Robbie Ross allowed two runs on three hits and was pulled in the third inning of Sunday's win over the Indians.

Ross was scheduled to throw four innings but was taken out early after working up a high pitch-count. He gave up three walks and struggled with his command. It was his worst performance to date, so it shouldn't be a major concern on his chances of winning an Opening Day rotation spot. Justin Grimm came on late for the Rangers and picked up the save after allowing just one run over the final three innings.

Robbie Ross - R - Rangers

Robbie Ross tossed four innings of one-run ball in Wednesday's win over the Cubs.

Ross allowed four hits -- including a solo homer to Scott Hairston -- while striking out one and walking no one. The southpaw sports a 3.00 ERA and 1.11 WHIP over his first nine innings this spring and might be the favorite for the fifth spot in the rotation following Martin Perez's injury. That's assuming, of course, that the Rangers don't seek help outside the organization.

Robbie Ross - R - Rangers

Rangers general manager Jon Daniels said the team will consider moving Robbie Ross into the rotation if they don't acquire another starter.

The Rangers have four set starters in Yu Darvish, Derek Holland, Matt Harrison and Alexi Ogando, and they'll get Colby Lewis back around midseason. If Ross is indeed tried out as a starter, he would compete with Martin Perez for the final spot in the rotation. The southpaw put up a 2.22 ERA in 2012 out of the bullpen but made all but one of his appearances in the minors as a starter, posting a 2.88 ERA.

Robbie Ross - R - Rangers

Rangers manager Ron Washington indicated that it's unlikely Robbie Ross will come out of the bullpen to fill Alexi Ogando's (groin) spot in the rotation Saturday.

Ross was a logical choice, as he's started throughout the minors and threw four innings in relief of Ogando Sunday, but Washington likes him where he is. "Without Ogando down there, he's the magical piece," the manager said. "He can do a lot of things. I want him to stay in the bullpen." It's still up in the air as to who the Rangers will use Saturday, but it won't be Roy Oswalt, as he's starting for Double-A Frisco Tuesday and will need at least one more minor league start after that.

Robbie Ross - R - Rangers

Rangers purchased the contract of LHP Robbie Ross from Double-A Frisco.

As expected. Ross entered spring training as a long shot, but posted an impressive 1.50 ERA and 11/2 K/BB ratio over 12 innings during Cactus League action. The 22-year-old will be the lone left-hander out of the Rangers' bullpen.

Robbie Ross - R - Rangers

Robbie Ross has made the Rangers' Opening Day roster.

With Neal Cotts injured, Ross was the lone southpaw left standing. He's earned the spot with a 1.64 ERA and 10/2 K/BB ratio over 11 innings this spring. Just 22, Ross has made only six appearances above A-ball. He's been used exclusively as a starter in the minors but will be a reliever in Texas.
