ARLINGTON (AP) - Free agent right-hander Nick Tepesch signed a minor league contract Wednesday with the Texas Rangers that includes an invitation to major league spring training.
Tepesch is expected to be ready for spring training after missing all of last season because of right elbow inflammation. He also had surgery to correct Thoracic Outlet Syndrome, which affects the nerves that pass through the shoulder into the neck.
The 27-year-old Tepesch was 9-17 with a 4.56 ERA in 42 major league games, all with the Texas in 2013 and 2014. Only Yu Darvish with 54 starts made more than Tepesch's 39 starts over those two seasons.
