That being said, this isn't a huge blow to the team, but it still hurts. Odorizzi is set to become a ...

The Athletic's Levi Weaver reported Tuesday that Texas Rangers newly-signed pitcher Jake Odorizzi will likely serve as either a bulk inning reliever or as a spot sixth starter. The Rangers brought in Jacob deGrom, Nathan Eovaldi, and Andrew Heaney this off-season in addition to Odorizzi, and all three are established starters. However, injury is a real concern throughout the projected starters, which likely means Odorizzi will pitch a substantial number of innings either way. The 32-year-old...
