Texas Rangers' Kyle Gibson goes on 10-day IL with groin issue
ANAHEIM, Calif. -- The Texas Rangers placed right-hander Kyle Gibson on the 10-day injured list Tuesday because of a right groin strain that he had been dealing with for several games.
The move was retroactive to Saturday, the day after Gibson (3-0, 2.24 in MLB-high 10 starts) made his last start.
Right-handed reliever Hunter Wood was also put on the injured list with right elbow discomfort. Left-hander Wes Benjamin and right-hander Demarcus Evans were recalled from Triple-A Round Rock.
Manager Chris Woodward said he didn't anticipate Gibson being out too long. His next start could be June 4 against Tampa Bay, when the Rangers return home after their nine-game road trip that started Tuesday night against the Los Angeles Angels.
