The Texas Rangers shook up their bullpen with a few moves, including a decision to potentially lose their Rule 5 pick.
ARLINGTON, Texas The Texas Rangers are shaking up their roster, looking to give more young players opportunities as any hopes of contention have faded away.
The Rangers added two pitchers to the mix on Wednesday, recalling LHP Wes Benjamin from Triple-A Round Rock, along with selecting the contract of RHP Joe Barlow.
For Benjamin, this is his fourth stint with the big league club. He made the Opening Day roster out of spring training, but was sent down roughly two weeks into the season after struggling with his command. He was recalled for just one day on May 14, then again on May 25 and remained with the Rangers through June 3.
