DALLAS (CBSDFW.COM) - The Rangers will recall Derek Holland and plan to give him the ball Tuesday night in Cincinnati.
To make room on the 40-man roster for Holland the team optioned Nick Martinez back to Triple-A Round Rock.
Holland (5-5, 5.20 ERA) was originally put on the 15-day DL with left shoulder inflammation, two days after allowing 11 of 23 Baltimore batters he faced to reach base in 4 1-3 innings. The lefty gave up 13 runs over 13 1-3 innings in the three starts before landing on the DL.
"It's been going on for a little bit and started bothering me a little bit more in the last start so we want to make sure everything is OK," Holland said at the time. "I felt like I could play through it, but obviously I wasn't doing a good job."
