The Texas Rangers announced Josh Owens as a two-way player. That's notable, because if they had no plans at all to let him continue his doubling-up on the diamond, they could've just said he was an outfielder.

The Rangers veered off their recent history of preferring college players to dip into deep class of high school shortstops.

AJ Russell was 4-2 with a 2.70 ERA in three seasons with Tennessee baseball. He struck out 104 in 70 innings across 42 appearances with 11 starts.
