URGENT UPDATE: The Texas Rangers have activated left-hander Danny Coulombe from the 15-day injured list as of today, marking a significant boost to their bullpen. Coulombe had been sidelined due to fatigue in his throwing shoulder, missing the last 13 games.
Coulombe successfully completed a rehabilitation assignment with Double-A Frisco, where he pitched two scoreless innings across two games. This activation comes at a critical time for the Rangers as they aim to strengthen their pitching lineup for the remainder of the season.
This season, Coulombe has made 51 appearances and boasts a solid 2.52 ERA overall, with a record of 2-1 and two saves between his time with Texas and Minnesota. Since being traded to the Rangers on July 31, he has made 11 relief appearances, holding a record of 1-1 with a 7.56 ERA.
In a move to create space for Coulombe, the Rangers have optioned right-hander Luis Curvelo to Triple-A Round Rock. This adjustment reflects the Rangers’ strategy to maximize their pitching resources as they navigate the final stretch of the season.
Fans and team officials are eagerly anticipating Coulombe’s return to the mound, hoping his fresh arm and experience will provide the Rangers with the necessary edge in upcoming games. The team is currently focused on making a strong push for the playoffs, and Coulombe’s activation could prove pivotal in those efforts.
