Rangers' Anderson Tejeda: Hitless in season debut
Anderson Tejeda started at third base and went 0-for-3 with three strikeouts in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Padres.It was a continuation of the profile Tejeda showed last season when he struck out 30 times in 75 at-bats (39.0 K%) while making his MLB debut for the Texas Rangers. He was called up Friday after the Rangers placed Brock Holt (hamstring) the injured list.
