The Rangers recalled Garabito from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.
Garabito was sent out to the minors Friday, but he will now return to the big club to replace Max Scherzer (hamstring), who was placed on the 15-day injured list. Garabito holds a 4.88 ERA through 24 innings in the majors this year, though he's allowed eight earned runs over his last 6.1 frames and will most likely be limited to low-leverage work until he bounces back.

Rangers' Gerson Garabito: Back up with big club
Rotowire
The Rangers recalled Garabito from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.
Garabito was optioned to Triple-A on Saturday, but he'll be eligible to rejoin the Rangers one day later after Jose Urena (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. The 29-year-old right-hander will join righty Jack Leiter as a multi-inning option out of the Texas bullpen.

Rangers' Gerson Garabito: Sent to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Rangers optioned Garabito to Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.
With Max Scherzer (shoulder) returning from the injured list to start Saturday's contest against the Mariners, Garabito will end up as the odd man out of a roster spot. The 29-year-old righty owns a 3.86 ERA and 1.14 WHIP through 21 innings in the big leagues this season, and he still has a chance to pitch for the Rangers down the stretch if Texas needs a fresh bullpen arm.

Rangers' Gerson Garabito: Shifts back to relief
Rotowire
Garabito has made his last two appearances out of the bullpen, giving up two earned runs on one hit and one walk while retiring two batters via strikeout in outings Tuesday in Arizona and Thursday in Seattle.
Since tossing 2.2 scoreless innings to lead off a bullpen game for the Rangers last Friday versus the Angels, Garabito has shifted back to a relief role. With Texas getting Jacob deGrom back from the 60-day injured list Friday and Max Scherzer (shoulder) due to return from the 15-day IL on Saturday, the Rangers aren't expected to have an opening in the rotation for Garabito for the remainder of the season.

Rangers' Gerson Garabito: Tabbed for Friday start
Rotowire
Garabito is listed as the Rangers' starting pitcher for Friday's game against the Angels.
Garabito has bounced between Triple-A Round Rock and the majors this season, and he was recalled Tuesday. He threw two-thirds of an inning that the same day, but he has a few multi-inning appearances in the majors and has worked as a traditional starter in the minors. As a result, Garabito should be able to provide more length than a typical opening pitcher, though the Rangers could elect to Jose Urena or Chase Anderson in bulk relief, if needed.

Rangers' Gerson Garabito: Back in majors
Rotowire
The Rangers recalled Garabito from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.
With Jon Gray (foot) landing on the injured list, the Rangers will bring Garabito back to the majors in order to add extra depth to their bullpen. The 29-year-old righty owns a 2.65 ERA and 1.00 WHIP across 17 big-league innings and will presumably work in middle relief while with Texas.

Rangers' Gerson Garabito: Sent to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Rangers optioned Garabito to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.
Garabito had been with the Rangers since July 29, posting a 3.48 ERA across 10.1 innings for the team, including four scoreless frames Sunday. However, the Rangers will cycle in Grant Anderson and his fresh arm for some immediate bullpen help.

Rangers' Gerson Garabito: Recalled from minors
Rotowire
The Rangers recalled Garabito from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.
Garabito was sent down to Round Rock on Thursday to make room on the 26-man roster for Dane Dunning, but the former is eligible to return to the big club early since Jon Gray (groin) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. Though Garabito will be deployed out of the bullpen in his return to the big club, he could be a candidate to eat innings Friday versus the Red Sox, when Gray's next turn through the rotation is scheduled to come up. Garabito has made eight starts across 11 outings in Triple-A this season, logging a 3.56 ERA and 1.02 WHIP over 48 innings.

Rangers' Gerson Garabito: Gets call-up from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Rangers recalled Garabito from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.
Garabito is back with the Rangers for the second time this season after he previously struck out five batters and gave up one earned run on four hits and five walks over 5.2 innings in three appearances (one start) while he was with the big club from May 26 through June 7. He'll serve as a multi-inning option out of the Texas bullpen.

Rangers' Gerson Garabito: Sent down to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Rangers optioned Garabito to Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.
After posting a 2.05 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 30:8 K:BB over 26.1 innings in Triple-A, Garabito was called up by the Rangers on May 26. Since the promotion, the 28-year-old right-hander has appeared in three games for the big club, allowing one run on four hits and five walks while striking out five over 5.2 innings. The move corresponds with the Rangers activating right-hander Jon Gray from the injured list.

Rangers' Gerson Garabito: Works in relief Saturday
Rotowire
Garabito struck out one and allowed two hits and one walk over a scoreless inning out of the bullpen in Saturday's 7-0 win over the Marlins.
After giving up one run in a 3.2-inning start in his MLB debut May 26 versus the Twins, Garabito went nearly a week without any usage before he finished off Saturday's blowout win. Despite making his most recent appearance in relief, Garabito could be an option to make another start either Tuesday or Wednesday versus the Tigers, with Dane Dunning presumably taking the hill for one of those games and Garabito or Jose Urena getting the nod for the other contest. Texas could get Jon Gray (groin) back from the injured list as soon as this weekend, so Garabito likely won't be in line for any additional starts in the near future if he does in fact re-enter the rotation against Detroit.

Rangers' Gerson Garabito: Decent in major-league debut
Rotowire
Garabito allowed a run on two hits and four walks while striking out two over 3.2 innings in a no-decision versus the Twins on Sunday.
Garabito threw 49 of 84 pitches for strikes in the contest, which was his major-league debut. The right-hander walked a batter in each inning, but he was able to limit the damage until he gave up a pair of hits to begin the fourth. It's unclear how long Garabito will be in the majors. He may not be needed to stick around if Michael Lorenzen (knee) and Jose Urena (lower leg) are able to make their next scheduled starts, as the Rangers have three off days between this Monday and June 6. Nathan Eovaldi (groin) began mound work May 17 and could also be nearing a return if he doesn't require a rehab assignment.

Rangers' Gerson Garabito: Called up, will start Sunday
Rotowire
The Rangers selected Garabito's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday. He'll start Sunday's series finale versus the Twins in Minnesota.
Texas designated right-hander Shaun Anderson for assignment to clear room on the 40-man roster and 26-man active roster for the 28-year-old Garabito, who will be making his MLB debut Sunday. The Rangers are expected to treat Sunday's contest as a bullpen day, but Garabito should be capable of providing the team with plenty of length to begin the game after he had been operating as a starter for Round Rock. Over seven appearances (five starts) for the Triple-A club this season, Garabito compiled a 2.05 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 37:10 K:BB in 30.2 innings. Garabito may not be in line for a lengthy stay with the Rangers, as the team could soon get back Nathan Eovaldi (groin) and/or Jon Gray (groin) back from the injured list, and off days Monday and Thursday could allow Texas to get by with a shortened rotation in the meantime.
