Fujikawa (groin) will be activated from the DL prior to Thursday's game. As expected, Fujikawa will return to the bullpen after beginning the season on the DL with groin tightness. In a corresponding move, the Rangers optioned right-hander Spencer Patton to Triple-A Round Rock. Fujikawa posted a 4.85 ERA, allowing 18 hits over 13.0 cumulative innings as a member of the Cubs in 2014.
