Blalock activated, Metcalf down
As expected, Hank Blalock has been activated from the d.l., and Travis Metcalf has been sent down.
Hurley to the d.l., Hunter up
Per the DMN blog, Tommy Hunter and Travis Metcalf are up, Ryan Roberts is down, and Eric Hurley has been put on the d.l. Kason Gabbard has been moved to the 60 day d.l. to make room for Hunter on the 40 man roster. The only other 40 man move that would appear to be imminent is bringing Brandon...

Metcalf up, Broussard DFA'd
Evan Grant reports that the Rangers have designated Ben Broussard for assignment, and have called up Travis Metcalf to replace him.
