EDGE Analysis

Rua was sent back to Round Rock to open up a spot on the roster for the return of Adrian Beltre (hamstring), who was activated from the disabled list in a corresponding roster move. The 28-year-old has hit just .163/.207/.267 across 34 games with the big club this season, so he'll head back to the minors to continue serving as organizational outfield depth.

EDGE Analysis

Rua went deep for the second time this season during the seventh inning off of Chris Sale. He sits with a .203/.235/.344 batting line through 24 games this season for the Rangers.

Over 16 games with Texas this season, Rua is slashing .178/.208/.267 with one extra-base hit and three RBI, while striking out 14 times in 49 plate appearances.

Rua won the starting job in left field out of spring training, but he failed to get things going over the first few weeks of the season, hitting just .178/.208/.267 with one homer and one stolen base across 29 plate appearances. His uninspiring performance prompted the Rangers to send him back to the minors to clear a roster spot for Renato Nunez, who was activated from the disabled list in a corresponding move.
