Rangers commit to GM with multiyear contract
The Texas Rangers gave general manager Jon Daniels a multiyear contract extension.
Texas missed the playoffs last season and is
27-38 this year.
But the Rangers have been to their only two World
Series during
Daniels’ time as
GM and won four
American League
West titles.
When Daniels,
40, replaced Jon Hart at the end of the 2005 season, he was 28 and the majors’ youngest GM.
The Rangers have seven position players ages 23 to 25 who are getting regular playing time, including slugger Joey Gallo, a Bishop Gorman product.
Dodgers: Left-handed reliever Tony Cingrani (sore left shoulder) was placed on the 10-day disabled list, left-hander Caleb Ferguson was optioned to Oklahoma City, and right-handed reliever Pedro Baez and left-handed reliever Edward Paredes were recalled from the Triple-a club.
Yankees: Left-hander Jordan Montgomery, 25, underwent left elbow ligament replacement surgery and had a loose bone chip removed from the elbow and is expected to be sidelined until the second half of next season or possibly 2020.
Mets: Reliever Fernando Abad was suspended 80 games after testing positive for Stanozolol, an anabolic steroid.
The 32-year-old left-hander signed a minor league deal with New
York in March but has not made an appearance in 2018.
Rays: First baseman/ outfielder Jake Bauers, one of Tampa Bay’s top prospects, was recalled from Triple-a Durham, and first baseman/ second baseman Brad Miller was designated for assignment.
Athletics: Right-hander Paul Blackburn (right forearm strain) was activated from the disabled list, and catcher Bruce Maxwell was optioned to Triple-a Nashville.
Astros: Shortstop Carlos Correa (sore right oblique) was held out of Houston’s lineup and had an MRI examination that showed nothing abnormal.
Marlins: Right-hander Trevor Richards was recalled from New Orleans, and right-handed reliever Tyler Cloyd was optioned to the Triple-a club.
Cardinals: Infielder Greg Garcia was activated from paternity leave, and right-handed reliever Preston Guilmet was designated for assignment.
Royals: Outfielder Paulo Orlando was recalled from
Triple-a Omaha.
