The Texas Rangers are making strategic moves to cope with a fatigued bullpen after an intense series in Anaheim. Dane Dunning, who recently pitched in two grueling games, has been sent back to Triple-A Round Rock, making room for Caleb Boushley, who has shown promise in long relief roles despite a 5.04 ERA this season. This rotation shift, though, comes as relief pitcher Josh Sborz is set to begin his rehabilitation assignment following shoulder surgery.

Manager Bruce Bochy also confirmed that Jon Gray, recovering from an injury, is slated for a second rehab start, anticipating an increase in pitch count aimed at preparing him for a return to the starting lineup. The aim is to have him back by the end of July or early August, which would be a significant boost for the pitching staff. With these adjustments, the Rangers hope to maintain their competitive edge in the ongoing MLB season.
