ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) - The Texas Rangers have designated third baseman Travis Metcalf for assignment and placed right-handers Joaquin Benoit and Eric Hurley on the 60-day disabled list.
Those were among several moves Sunday to complete their 25-man roster.Benoit and Hurley both had rotator cuff surgery during the offseason. Hurley was a first-round pick in 2004 and had been expected to be a candidate for the starting rotation this spring.
Right-handed relievers Dustin Nippert (back) and Willie Eyre (groin) were placed on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to March 27.
Catcher Emerson Frostad and right-hander Derrick Turnbow were reassigned to minor league camp.
The Rangers have 10 days to trade, release, or outright Metcalf to the minor leagues.
