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.

The Texas Rangers had to place yet another player on the injured list, but get the chance to see another young player get a crack at playing time.
The Texas Rangers have sent yet another player to the injured list.
Outfielder David Dahl crashed into the wall in right field in pursuit of a Jared Walsh home run during Tuesday night s game in Anaheim. After pulling Dahl in the seventh inning, manager Chris Woodward hoped the soreness wouldn t be too bad when the team came in on Wednesday morning.
That was not the case. During his pregame Zoom with the media, Woodward said Dahl was more sore than he was on Tuesday night. The Rangers now plan to do further evaluation to see if there is a cracked rib or something similar that could cause Dahl to miss extended time.
