Curvelo, Ahlstrom, Freeman up
- The Texas Rangers recalled Luis Curvelo and activated Cody Freeman from the injured list as part of a roster shuffle.
- Robbie Ahlstrom was purchased to the 40-man roster and added to the bullpen, replacing other pitchers on the roster.
- Ahlstrom, a left-hander, has shown improved command with a 2.76 ERA in 29.1 innings this season for Round Rock.
- Cody Freeman returned from the IL and was activated, then optioned to the minors after a rehab stint.
- The Rangers shuffled pitchers on the IL list, moving Chris Martin and Sam Haggerty while others were moved to accommodate Ahlstrom.
- Ahlstrom previously played in the Yankees system before coming to the Rangers organization.
- Freeman's back issue kept him out earlier, but he began a rehab assignment before being activated.
- The clubs’ goal is to refresh the pitching staff and bolster depth for the season.
- The Rangers’ moves include multiple IL placements and minor league optioning to manage roster needs.
- The trade and call-up context ties to ongoing team management of the 40-man roster.
