Bird (calf) was activated off the 10-day injured list Tuesday and was designated for assignment by the Rangers.

EDGE Analysis

The 27-year-old landed on the injured list with the calf strain shortly after having his contract selected by the Rangers, and he's now been removed from the 40-man roster. Bird didn't appear in a game during his brief time with the team, but he could return to the alternate training site if he clears waivers.
