Ross Wolf - R - Rangers

Rangers purchased the contract of RHP Ross Wolf from Triple-A Round Rock.

He'll make the start Wednesday in place of Nick Tepesch, who was scratched due to a blister on his finger. Wolf has a 1.85 ERA and 25/9 K/BB ratio in 34 innings this season in Triple-A. The 30-year-old is likely to head right back down to the minors, so he's not worth chasing in most fantasy leagues.

Cory Burns - R - Rangers

Rangers optioned RHP Cory Burns to Triple-A Round Rock.

Wednesday's starter, Ross Wolf, will replace him on the active roster. Burns allowed two runs in 3 2/3 innings during his brief stint with the big club and should get another shot in the Rangers' bullpen later this year.
May 22 - 11:50 AM
Yu Darvish - S - Rangers

Yu Darvish allowed just one run over six innings but took the loss as the A's beat the Rangers on Tuesday.

Darvish allowed only a solo home run to Yoenis Cespedes on the night, but he was outdueled by Dan Straily. Even with the loss, Darvish is 7-2 with a 2.84 ERA through 10 starts. He'll hope for a better fate Monday against the Diamondbacks.

Alexi Ogando - S - Rangers

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.

Neal Cotts - R - Rangers

Rangers purchased the contract of LHP Neal Cotts from Triple-A Round Rock.

Cotts hasn't appeared in the majors since 2009 but has earned a call-up with some brilliant work at Triple-A, where he's posted a 0.78 ERA and absurd 42/5 K/BB ratio over 23 innings. He'll be used in middle relief.

Ross Wolf - R - Rangers

Ross Wolf will be recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday to start against the A's.

Nick Tepesch has a blister on his right middle finger, so Wolf is going to take the mound in his place. Wolf has posted a promising 1.85 ERA and 25/9 K/BB ratio in 34 innings this season at the Triple-A level, but the 30-year-old right-hander is not a great fantasy streamer.

Nick Tepesch - S - Rangers

Nick Tepesch has been scratched from his Wednesday start due to a blister on his right middle finger.

Ross Wolf will take the mound in his place. Tepesch should be fine by his next turn in the Rangers' rotation.

A.J. Pierzynski - C - Rangers

Rangers activated C A.J. Pierzynski from the 15-day disabled list.

Pierzynski went 1-for-6 with a strikeout in two rehab games with Double-A Frisco and didn't have any issues with his oblique. The 36-year-old backstop returns to a .263/.297/.411 batting line to go along with four home runs and 11 RBI in 26 games.

Jurickson Profar - 2B - Rangers

Making his first start for the Rangers this season, Jurickson Profar went 0-for-2 with a pair of RBI against the A's on Monday.

Profar drove in both Rangers runs with a groundout and a sac fly. Manager Ron Washington said Profar and Leury Garcia would split time at second, but as long as Profar is up, the Rangers would be crazy not to use him.
May 21 - 12:17 AM
Robinson Chirinos - C - Rangers

Rangers optioned C Robinson Chirinos to Triple-A Round Rock.

He's clearing the way for A.J. Pierzynski's return from the DL on Tuesday. Chirinos picked up three hits in 12 at-bats with the big club.
May 21 - 12:06 AM
Josh Lindblom - S - Rangers

Rangers optioned RHP Josh Lindblom to Triple-A Round Rock.

Lindblom was sent down shortly after an unsuccessful first major league start where he allowed four runs on seven hits and two walks over just 4 2/3 innings. The Rangers will call up a reliever prior to Tuesday's game.
May 21 - 12:05 AM
Jurickson Profar - 2B - Rangers

Rangers manager Ron Washington said Jurickson Profar will split playing time with Leury Garcia at second base while Ian Kinsler is on the disabled list.

"Leury's going to get some time there," Washington said. "So when you see Profar sitting, don't be surprised." It's obviously not what fantasy owners that picked up Profar want to hear. He should still see most of the starts at second, but Washington wants to keep Garcia sharp.

Jurickson Profar - 2B - Rangers

Jurickson Profar will bat ninth and start at second base Monday night against the Athletics.

Profar was called up from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday and regular looks at second base while Ian Kinsler (ribs) is sidelined. The top prospect should be worth using in most mixed leagues for now, though he could be headed right back down to the minors once Kinsler is ready to return.

Josh Lindblom - S - Rangers

Rangers recalled RHP Josh Lindblom from Triple-A Round Rock.

Lindblom will take the place of Alexi Ogando in the starting rotation and pitch Monday night against the Athletics. The 25-year-old right-hander had a 2.08 ERA and 33/11 K/BB ratio in 43 1/3 innings over seven starts and one relief appearance in Triple-A. While he has 101 relief appearances in the majors, this will be his first start in the big leagues. We'd steer clear outside of deeper AL-only formats.
