Transaction

Texas activated pitcher C.J. WILSON from the Disabled List and optioned pitcher SCOTT FELDMAN to AAA Oklahoma.

The Rangers already had two lefties in the pen, but Brian Shouse is a LOOGY poster boy while Fabio Castro hasn’t merited use in anything approaching a high leverage situation. Wilson potentially gives Texas a lefty who can chew a whole inning or two in the middle of a close game. Potentially.

Among the logical candidates for demotion, only Feldman had options. Indeed, this option is just his first, so it’s not as if Texas is burning one needlessly. Feldman hasn’t even acquired 100 innings in professional baseball. He'll cope.
