30 Jun
Summary
- Rangers signed veteran right-hander Chris Paddack to a one-year deal.
- Utility player Cameron Cauley was promoted from Triple-A Round Rock.
- Outfielder Jarred Kelenic was designated for assignment by the Rangers.
The Texas Rangers announced a series of roster moves on Monday, notably signing veteran right-handed pitcher Chris Paddack to a one-year contract. Paddack, recently designated for assignment by the Cincinnati Reds, brings experience to the Rangers' rotation. His career ERA stands at 4.84 over 131 games, with 119 starts.
In conjunction with Paddack's signing, the Rangers also called up utility player Cameron Cauley from Triple-A Round Rock. Cauley, the club's 13th-ranked prospect, is set to make his major league debut. The team simultaneously designated outfielder Jarred Kelenic and right-handed pitcher Joe Ross for assignment.
Kelenic, who had a brief stint with the Rangers this season, has a career batting average of .211 with 50 home runs. Ross made five relief appearances for the Rangers, holding a 4.50 ERA. These adjustments come as the Rangers maintain a narrow lead atop the American League West.
