Peyton Gray gets his first major league call after a 278-game climb through the minors, independent ball and overseas leagues.
- The Texas Rangers called up right-hander Peyton Gray from Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday to replace injured pitcher Robert Garcia, designating minor league catcher Willie MacIver for assignment.
- Garcia was placed on the 15-day injured list Thursday due to left shoulder inflammation after last pitching April 16; an MRI revealed no structural damage.
- Gray, a 30-year-old, earned his first major league call-up after dominating at Triple-A, striking out 15 batters over 12.2 innings while posting a 0.79 WHIP and two walks.
- Manager Skip Schumaker praised Gray's journey through independent and international baseball, calling it "an incredible story and earned," while MacIver was designated to clear the 40-man roster.
- Texas faces bullpen depth challenges with both Garcia and reliever Chris Martin on the injured list, forcing Schumaker to develop alternatives after the pair were envisioned as co-closers.
