Hunter Strickland Granted His Release
Hunter Strickland, who had been pitching at Triple-A Round Rock on a minor-league deal, was granted his release on Tuesday. Meanwhile, the Rangers signed left-hander Ty Blach and right-hander Robert Dugger to minor-league deals, and they will both report to Round Rock. Strickland appeared in 12 games out of the bullpen for Round Rock and was just not good, allowing 20 hits (three homers) and 14 earned runs while walking nine and striking out 15 in 15 1/3 innings pitched. The 36-year-old veteran has 29 career saves in 10 big-league seasons and was decent last year with the Los Angeles Angels with a 3.31 ERA, 1.09 WHIP and one save, though, so he could get another chance to prove himself on a minor-league contract now that he's on the open market.
