The Rangers made a few moves ahead of Saturday night’s contest with the Astros.
Rangers select the contract of RHP Hunter Wood from Triple-A Round Rock
LHP Wes Benjamin optioned to Triple-A Round Rock
To make room on the 40-man roster, C Jack Kruger was designated for assignment
Rangers Injury Report 10-Day Injured List
Kohei Arihara (right middle finger contusion): Arihara received an injection to try to help him pitch through the pain, but after last Saturday’s start, the Rangers decided to put him on the IL. There is no timetable for Arihara’s return.
Brock Holt (right hamstring strain): Chris Woodward was very pleased with how Holt responded to his workouts on Thursday. Woodward said that Holt could be available to return to the active roster when the Rangers come back to Arlington on Monday.
60-Day Injured List
Matt Bush (right flexor strain): Bush is currently in a six-week shutdown, then will undergo an MRI. It’s looking like the soonest Bush could come back is around the All-Star break.
Kyle Cody (right shoulder impingement): What was initially ruled as just inflammation, Cody’s injury is much more long-term than expected. His timetable remains unclear.
Ronald Guzmán (torn meniscus in right knee): Guzmán underwent successful season-ending knee surgery on April 28.
Jonathan Hernández (Tommy John surgery): Hernández underwent Tommy John surgery on April 12, which was performed by team physician Dr. Keith Meister. He will be sidelined for approximately 12-14 months.
Sam Huff (arthroscopic knee surgery): Huff was near the end of his rehab regarding his hamstring injury, but tweaked his knee in the batting cage near the end of minor league camp. Huff had surgery on April 28 to remove a “loose body” in his knee. His prognosis from the time of surgery is eight weeks.
José Leclerc (Tommy John surgery): Leclerc underwent successful Tommy John surgery on March 31, which was performed by team physician Dr. Keith Meister. He will be sidelined for approximately 12-14 months.
Other Rangers Injuries
Josh Jung (left foot stress fracture): Jung is now out of a walking boot. The Rangers don’t expect Jung to return to game action until the end of May or early June — longer than the original prognosis of 6-8 weeks.
