Rangers Designate Marco Gonzales For Assignment

The Rangers activated Jakob Junis from the 15-day IL before Saturday’s matchup against the Athletics. Junis will take the spot of left-hander Marco Gonzales, who was designated for assignment. Texas now has 39 players on its 40-man roster. Gonzales had his contract selected yesterday. He was about as efficient as possible in his lone outing. The lefty entered in the eighth inning against the A’s with a five-run deficit. He got two outs on one pitch, coaxing a double-play grounder from Lawrence Butler to end the frame. This will be Gonzales’ second trip through the DFA process with the Rangers. He was bumped off the roster after two appearances in late July. Gonzales elected free agency after passing through waivers, only to sign a new minor league deal with Texas. There’s a decent chance it goes the same way this time around. We could be looking at a Martin Perez/Braves situation. More to come… View Comments (0)
