Jurado will enter Monday's game against the Angels in relief, but will still serve as the Rangers' primary pitcher in the contest.

Jeffrey Springs will start the game as the Rangers opt to mimic the "opener" strategy the Rays have deployed throughout the season, with Jurado set to follow the left-hander. The adjustment can only help the 22-year-old Jurado, who has a 6.69 ERA and 1.63 WHIP over seven starts in the majors this season.
