Claudio was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Claudio will provide the Rangers with a left-handed option out of the bullpen while long man Cesar Ramos likely joins the rotation following A.J. Griffin's (shoulder) placement on the DL. The Rangers will likely limit Claudio's duties to low-leverage situations, so he's not expected to gain much fantasy value upon arriving to the big leagues.

Claudio was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

He has a 3.18 ERA in four appearances out of the Rangers' bullpen, but he does not have the high-end stuff to pitch late in games, and was a roster casualty when Texas signed Drew Stubbs to a major league deal Saturday. Claudio should continue to provide organizational bullpen depth going forward.

Claudio was recalled by the Rangers on Wednesday, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Claudio, a 24-year-old reliever, will be the third left-handed out of the Rangers bullpen following his call-up Wednesday. He has appeared in 33 games with the Rangers across the past two seasons, working a 2.89 ERA with 27 strikeouts and 10 walks over 28.0 combined innings. Claudio's lack of velocity got him into some trouble last season, however, as he was tagged for four home runs in 15.2 innings of work. He'll likely work in a middle relief role during his current stint with the big league club.

The Rangers assigned Claudio to minor league camp Monday, MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan reports.

EDGE Analysis

Claudio will not break camp with the big club, but he appeared in 33 games with the Rangers over the last two seasons and posted a 2.89 ERA, so he figures to be called up to the major league squad at some point this season.

Claudio was hit in the groin by a line drive during Friday's spring game and is expected to miss a few days, the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

The lefty made a play to end the inning after being hit by the liner, and the Rangers haven't given any indication that this is more than a minor concern. Claudio has allowed two runs on three hits and a walk while striking out three in 4.1 innings so far this spring.

Claudio was placed on the 60-day DL on Tuesday with a left groin strain.

EDGE Analysis

The move clears a spot on the 40-man roster and essentially ends Claudio's 2015 season.

Claudio was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. While the 23-year-old lefty has fared well in 18 appearances with the big club so far this season (2.87 ERA, 1.15), the team needed to add some outfield depth to the roster and Claudio was the casualty. He figures to return shortly after the 10-day window for optioned players to remain in the minors is up, though he could return even sooner if the team places a player on the DL.

Claudio was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday. He will take the pitching staff spot vacated by Anthony Ranaudo, who was optioned to Round Rock as a corresponding move. Claudio will be used in mid-to-low leverage situations out of the Rangers' bullpen.

Claudio was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday. The lefty reliever was deemed expendable as the Rangers sought to improve their depth on offense by calling up Joey Gallo and Jake Smolinski. Claudio will continue to offer organizational bullpen depth.

Claudio has been recalled from Triple-A Round Rock, Rangers VP of Comm. John Blake reports. Blake has performed well in limited action in the minors this season, posting a 1.86 ERA with six strikeouts to just one walk in 9.2 innings of work. He'll provide a left-handed arm in the big league club's bullpen.
