Speedy Ben Revere in Rangers camp with Triple-A deal

-

SURPRISE, ARIZ. (AP) >> Speedy outfielder Ben Revere is in spring training with the Texas Rangers after signing a Triple-A contract.

Revere was with the Rangers for their first full-squad workout Monday after completing a successful physical. The 30-year-old left-handed hitter last played in the majors with the Los Angeles Angels in 2017, when he hit .275 with 21 stolen bases in 109 games.

He is a .284 career hitter with 211 stolen bases for five teams over eight big league seasons.

There are certainly no guarantees for Revere with the Rangers, who have young outfielder­s Joey Gallo, Nomar Mazara, Delino DeShields and Willie Calhoun. Veteran Hunter Pence is also in camp on a minor league deal.

Cincinnati released Revere at the end of spring training last year.
