Rangers purchased the contract of INF/OF Esteban German from Triple-A Round Rock. German, 33, has stolen 44 bases in 53 attempts at the Triple-A level this season to go along with a .301 batting average and .388 on-base percentage. The Rangers value his ability as a pinch-runner, which is why they included him on their postseason roster last year. He'll get an audition during September.
