Digest more
The Texas Rangers continue their three-game series with the Arizona Diamondbacks on Tuesday night at Globe Life Field.
The decision with Gray is similar to the approach the Rangers took last season when it placed outfielders Robbie Grossman and Travis Jankowski on waivers. Grossman was claimed by the Kansas City Royals and Jankowski went unclaimed and remained with the Rangers.
Diamondbacks win two of three vs. Rangers behind Ketel Marte’s late heroics, staying within reach of the playoff hunt.
No team was willing to assume the rest of the approximately $3 million left on the 33-year-old right-hander's contract.
Burger lined a 99.4 mph pitch from Andrew Saalfrank (0-1) off the left-field wall to end the game. Sam Haggerty, the automatic runner who had advanced to third on Marcus Semien's flyout, scored the winning run.

If it’s not the offense, it’s the bullpen, which collapsed for a third straight game Friday vs. the Blue Jays.
