Rangers signed RHP Yonata Ortega to a minor league contract.

He also gets an invite to major league spring training. Ortega, 26, posted an ugly 8.12 ERA over 34 relief appearances with the Diamondbacks' Double-A squad this year. He will likely serve as organizational depth for Texas. Mon, Nov 12, 2012 06:00:00 PM

Yonata Ortega - R - Rangers

Diamondbacks sent RHP Yonata Ortega outright to Double-A Mobile.

The move was actually made on July 25, but the D'Backs never announced it. Ortega, who holds an 8.12 ERA over 34 relief appearances for Mobile this season, is now off the 40-man roster.

Yonata Ortega - R - Rangers

Diamondbacks optioned RHP Yonata Ortega to Double-A Mobile.

Ortega was added to the 40-man roster over the offseason in order to be kept away from the Rule 5 draft, but he never had a real chance of making the team. The reliever posted a 4.11 ERA in 48 games between High- and Double-A last season.

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

	3	Derek Holland
	4	Alexi Ogando D.L. Rangers manager Ron Washington said Friday that he's not sure whether Alexi Ogando (biceps) will require a minor league rehab start before coming off the disabled list. Ogando will throw off flat ground on Saturday and is scheduled to throw a bullpen session on Monday. An MRI revealed no structural damage in his biceps, so as long as he feels no pain, he should be ready to go as soon as he's eligible to come off the disabled list. May 24
	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

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
