The Rangers cut seven players – all pitchers – late Monday. All were optioned to minor league affiliates as follows:
AAA Round Rock -
LHP Martin Perez
RHP Neil Ramirez
RHP Justin Miller
RHP Cody Eppley
AA Frisco –
LHP Miguel De Los Santos
RHP Jacob Brigham
High A Myrtle Beach
RHP Roman Mendez
LHP Robbie Ross was not among those reassigned, which would have been a surprise when camp began. He has pitched so well though, that Jon Daniels told Jim Bowden earlier that Ross is a serious candidate to make the Rangers as the left-handed specialist in the bullpen.
