Sunday morning Rangers things

Good morning, folks...

The Texas Rangers fell to the Oakland A’s yesterday by a score of 8-6, despite two home runs from Adrian Beltre.

Levi Weaver’s game story talks about Beltre’s swing seeming to be back, but Beltre himself still unsure about what the future holds.

Evan Grant’s game story also highlights Beltre’s recent hotness.

Jeff Wilson says Yohander Mendez’s four inning outing was a step in the right direction, and talks about Beltre’s resurgence in his Rangers Reaction.

The Rangers have opted to have Adrian Sampson move into the rotation, at least for a start, which means that Bartolo Colon is headed to the bullpen.

Willie Calhoun says he plans on losing 30 pounds this offseason, after coming to camp at the beginning of this year heavier than expected.

The Rangers website has notes on Bartolo Colon, Adrian Sampson, Willie Calhoun, and Joey Gallo.
