To make room for Griffin on the roster, the Rangers designated Justin Ruggiano for assignment.

Evan Grant also writes about the Rangers' early offensive struggles, with Jeff Banister saying things aren't that bad.

Levi Weaver thinks people need to chill out about the Rangers' slow start.

Alden Gonzalez has a story on the relationship between Shin-Soo Choo and Angels first baseman Ji-Man Choi.
