Rangers reinstate Gentry from DL, option O’Day

ChristianVicky35 — Fri, 12 Aug 2011 00:10:57 +0000

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — Texas Rangers outfielder Craig Gentry has been reinstated from the seven-day concussion disabled list.

The move Thursday came on an off day for the Rangers before 10 consecutive road games. Gentry was on the list for two weeks, and played five rehabilitation games for Triple-A Round Rock.

Right-hander Darren O’Day was optioned to Round Rock to make room on the active roster.

Gentry last played July 24, when his helmet came off as his slid headfirst into second base. His neck twisted when he made contact with the leg of Toronto second baseman Aaron Hill.

Gentry is hitting .265 in 39 games, 24 as a starter.

O’Day was called up Saturday when Alexi Ogando went on the paternity leave list.

That’s all for today.

Baseball: Texas Rangers ride pitching to 11-game…

Matt Harrison wasn’t about to be the one to halt Texas’ wave of nearly perfect pitching, or the Rangers near-record win streak.

Harrison allowed just one run in 72/3 innings, Mitch Moreland hit a three-run homer, and the Rangers won their 11th straight with a 3-1 victory over the Seattle Mariners on Sunday.

The Rangers’ win streak is the longest in baseball since Philadelphia’s 11-game streak last September and tied for second-best in team history, trailing only a 14-game streak during the 1991 season.

“This whole streak we’re on right now is really because of what they have done. They’ve been great,” Moreland said of the Rangers’ staff. “When you are pitching like that, it’s fun to go out and play behind those guys and be a part of it.”

In the process of running the streak to 11, Harrison (8-7) and the Rangers swept the slumping Mariners and likely ended any thought of Seattle being contenders in the AL West this season. The Mariners have lost nine straight and are now 11½ games back.

It’s also the Rangers’ first four-game sweep of Seattle since 1992. Even the All-Star break thrown into the middle of the win streak couldn’t slow down Texas.

The Rangers’ pitching staff has continued to be the story. Texas has allowed just two runs in the past 47 innings. In the 11-game streak, the Rangers’ collective ERA is 2.09, and rivals’ batting average is .194.

Red Sox: Left-hander Jon

Lester could rejoin the rotation in about one week, while left fielder Carl Crawford will be back in the lineup Monday. Lester has been on the 15-day disabled list since July 6 due to a strained muscle in his back.

Twins: The team placed right-hander Scott Baker on the disabled list with an elbow strain, one day before he was scheduled to start in one game of a doubleheader of a huge home series against division-leading Cleveland.

Orioles: Designated hitter Vladimir Guerrero has been placed on the 15-day disabled list retroactive to July 11 with a broken bone in his right hand.

Mets: Shortstop Jose Reyes (strained left hamstring) will make a rehabilitation start for Class-A Brooklyn on Monday before he is activated from the disabled list, possibly a day later.

Not much else going on in the MLB planet today.

Rangers option OF Borbon to Round Rock

Irorporse — Sat, 04 Jun 2011 03:48:07 +0000

CLEVELAND (AP) — The Texas Rangers have activated outfielder Julio Borbon from the disabled list and optioned him to Triple-A Round Rock.

Borbon, the Rangers’ starting center fielder when the season began, had been out since mid-May because of a pulled hamstring. He was batting .270 with 10 runs scored and six stolen bases in 32 games. Borbon completed a minor league rehabiliation assignment this week.

Borbon started 137 games and batted .276 last season as Texas won the AL championship.

The emergence of Endy Chavez, who was batting .415 going into Friday night’s game against Cleveland, pushed Borbon out of a roster spot. Chavez was 4 for 4, tying a career high in hits, in Thursday’s 7-4 win over the Indians.
