(September 1, 2008)--The Texas Rangers recalled catcher
Taylor Teagarden and infielder German Duran today, the first day of
roster expansion.
Teagarden played two games with the Rangers in July and hit one
homer in six at-bats. In 73 combined games at Double-A Frisco and
Triple-A Oklahoma, Teagarden hit .211 with nine home runs and 23
RBIs.
This is Duran's second stint with the Rangers this season. Duran
batted .225 with three home runs and 11 RBIs in 43 games with Texas
before being optioned to Oklahoma on July 20.
Rangers manager Ron Washington says left-hander Bill White will
be recalled from Class-A Bakersfield tomorrow.
