Ryan Tucker

#55 / Pitcher / Texas Rangers

Height: 6-1

Weight: 205

Bats: R

Throws: R

Born: Dec 06, 1986

According to Evan Grant, a source is saying that the Texas Rangers will continue the revolving door in their bullpen today, with Ryan Tucker to be called up from AAA Round Rock.

Tucker is a righthanded pitcher claimed off of waivers from the Florida Marlins last October, in a move that required the Rangers to designate Rich Harden for assignment to clear room for Tucker on the 40 man roster.

Tucker was later waived by the Rangers, cleared waivers, and was outrighted, so he is not on the 40 man roster, and a move will have to be made to clear a 40 man roster space for him.

The speculation is that Darren O'Day, who has been troubled by a hip injury, will go to the 15 day disabled list to clear a space on the 25 man roster for Tucker.

O'Day says he feels fine

Darren O’Day (left hip) has told the coaching staff that he is healthy and ready to pitch in games after no throwing since Wednesday. Washington said that he was going to consult with pitching coach Mike Maddux to determine the next step for O’Day.

Might Tatemaya be jettisoned from the 40 to make room for Tucker?

Font or Webb to the 60 is the likely move to make room for him on the 40

But if ODay doesnt go on the DL I wonder what the move for the 25 man roster would be

Maybe we have traded Bush to someone

Running Tateyama through waivers makes sense to me.

I'm sure by now he's purchased some sort of grown-up bunkbeds

He'll have to share with Eppley

They'll just have to sleep head to toe, ass to ass.

Unless they’re the cuddling type.

don't mean that as an indictment of Tucker, necessarily

but the fact that he hasn’t really been talked about by the team, media, or anyone, really, gives me pause.

No one really talked about Eppley either
