The Texas Rangers revealed today that Cody Bradford has been optioned to AAA Round Rock. To change him on the energetic roster, the Rangers have purchased the contract of righthanded pitcher Grant Anderson. To clear area on the 40 guy lineup for Anderson, the Rangers assigned bottle Ricky Vanasco for came up to make a place begin on Sunday while Dane Dunning was on paternal leave, as well as I believe the expectation had actually been that Dunning would certainly change him when Bradford was returned down. Instead, the Rangers have actually raised sidearming righthander Grant Anderson from AAA Round 25 year old Anderson was a 21st round pick of the Seattle Mariners out of McNeese State in 2018. The Rangers got him at the beginning of the 2019 season for Connor Sadzeck. Anderson divided time between Frisco and also Round Rock both in 2022 as well as 2023. He has a 3. 54 period in 28 innings over 15 looks this year, striking out 47 of 114 batters as well as walking 11. Like most sidearmers he has traditionally had large squadron divides. He will likely be utilized, I picture, to face a handful of righthanded players between or late leaves open the concern of that obtains sent out down when Dunning returns in the next day or more. I wouldn't think the Rangers would remove a lineup place for Anderson in order to simply send him right back lineup spot was produced by DFAing Ricky Vanasco Mariners Shorts. The 24th rounder in 2017 showed flashes, and had an excellent 2019, yet has actually been dogged by injuries. He missed out on 2021 recovering from Tommy John surgical procedure, and also was unreal good in his return in 2022. His begin to the 2023 season was delayed as a result of a knee injury suffered in springtime training, and in two getaways for Frisco because his return he enabled ten runs in 2. 1 IP.
