Good morning.
Evan Grant writes that it took a few attempts but Jacob deGrom earned his 100th career victory in last night’s 2-1 win over St. Louis.
MLB dot com’s Jeff Jones writes that win No. 100 came on birthday No. 3 for deGrom’s son as the Rangers collected their fourth win in a row.
Grant reminds you that manager Skip Schumaker is a product of the much-loathed Devil Magic Cardinals.
Jones writes about Schumaker pranking Cardinals manager Oliver Marmol with a t-shirt upon his return to St. Louis.
Grant writes that Double A Frisco will have a couple of ringers on Tuesday with Corey Seager and Wyatt Langford participating in a rehab assignment.
Grant notes that Cody Freeman is finally back in the big leagues, though potentially only for as long as Sam Haggerty is on the bereavement list.
Jones writes about Freeman joining the Rangers as just one of the moves from yesterday as left-handed reliever Robby Ahlstrom was also called up.
Grant notes that Chris Martin is back on the IL and that Luis Curvelo is also back with the big league squad in place of Gavin Collyer.
Grant writes that the Rangers have brought in former top prospect Jarred Kelenic on a minor league look as outfield depth.
And, Grant notes that Josh Sborz was granted his release, ending his time with the Rangers. Sborz, of course, won’t soon be forgotten even if his time with Texas ends unceremoniously. Thanks for the ultimate memory, Josh!
Have a nice day!
