To take his place on the active roster, the team has purchased the contract of pitcher Peyton Gray from AAA Round Rock.
To make room for Gray on the 40 man roster, the Rangers have designated catcher Willie MacIver for assignment. In addition, the team announced that Carter Baumler, currently on the injured list, is beginning a rehab assignment with Round Rock. Garcia last pitched on April 16 — a week ago.
He has been experiencing shoulder soreness, and the Rangers had held off on making on i. l. move as they felt there was a decent chance he would be recovered in time to avoid an i.
l. stint. However, some combination of his shoulder not improving and the Rangers needing a fresh arm in the pen has resulted in his being put on the injured list now.
