Rangers selected the contract of SS Nick Ahmed from Triple-A Round Rock.
Ahmed remains a certifiable defensive wizard, but he’s pretty much a non-factor from an offensive standpoint at this advanced stage of his career. The 35-year-old journeyman shortstop gets the call to the majors as an emergency stopgap for the Rangers with Corey Seager (hamstring) hitting the injured list.
Rangers re-signed SS Nick Ahmed to a minor league contract.
Ahmed will head to Triple-A Round Rock as emergency infield depth. The 35-year-old defensive standout spent spring training with the Rangers, but wound up being released in late March after failing to make the club’s season-opening roster.
Rangers released INF Nick Ahmed.
Ahmed was reassigned to minor league camp Saturday, but now he’s a free agent. The veteran infielder will look for a spot that could offer some MLB action, but he may not find many suitors. It just takes one.
Rangers reassigned SS Nick Ahmed, C Tucker Barnhart, RHP David Buchanan, RHP JT Chargois, RHP Adrian Houser, RHP Joe Barlow, RHP Matt Festa, INF Alan Trejo, C Chad Wallach and OF Alejandro Osuna to minor league camp.
Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News adds that Ahmed and Barnhart are still weighing the possibility of opting out of their minor league deals to hit free agency. There are no real surprises here among the latest batch of cuts, but Osuna stands out since he made a really strong impression this spring to put himself in position as an option for the Rangers outfield mix at some point later this year.
