Rangers DFA 11-Year MLB Veteran Pitcher
The Texas Rangers have made a roster move, as they have designated veteran pitcher Marco Gonzales for assignment.
The Texas Rangers have decided to release veteran pitcher Marco Gonzales from their roster. The team has designated the 6-foot-1 lefty for assignment after a season in which he has shown mixed results. Gonzales has made three appearances for the Rangers this season, recording a 0-0 record, a 1.35 ERA, and three strikeouts. Despite his solid performance when called upon, the Rangers have decided to move him on.
In contrast to his recent career trajectory, Gonzales has spent most of the season in Triple-A. Over 18 appearances for the team's Triple-A affiliate, he has a 3-5 record, a 7.70 ERA, and 46 strikeouts, struggling at the lower level of play. In his 11-season MLB career, Gonzales has compiled a 66-50 record, 691 strikeouts, and a 4.14 ERA across stints with the St. Louis Cardinals, Seattle Mariners, Pittsburgh Pirates, and most recently, the Rangers.
Fans will have to await the arrival of his next team to see if another organization finds value in his experience and skills.
