The right-hander who grew up in nearby Fort Worth was selected from the Triple-A Round Rock roster. He was set to start Sunday at home against the Colorado Rockies.
The 32-year-old Gallardo went 13-11 with a 3.42 ERA for Texas in 2015 , and signed a free-agent contract with Baltimore in 2016.
Cincinnati released him this April after three appearances with a 30.86 ERA. Texas then signed Gallardo to a minor league contract, and he went 2-1 with a 3.81 ERA in 10 starts at Triple-A.
Manager Jeff Banister said Gallardo could remain in the rotation.
”He’s one of five starters for us now, but we’ll let him get through today first,” he said.
The Rangers optioned left-hander Brandon Mann to Round Rock. They opened a spot on the 40-man roster by placing right-hander Doug Fister , who’s out with a strained right knee, on the 60-day disabled list.Who else is happy to have NFL football back?!?!Fans of football, specifically the NFL, are accustomed to seeing a certain group of players score touchdowns; when Ben Roethlisberger airs it out , it's a foregone conclusion it winds up in the hands of Antonio Brown. Or when Eli Manning launches a ball downfield, you can bet your life Odell Beckham Jr. is the receiver chasing after it.Matt Ryan... Julio Jones. Deshaun Watson... DeAndre Hopkins. Andy Dalton... A.J. Green.The list goes on and on -- the NFL has never had more bonafide superstar wide receivers in it than it does today.Given the league's transformation, it's no surprise that wide receivers are finding themselves in the spotlight (and end zone) more than ever. Offenses are more pass-oriented compared to prior eras -- teams no longer expect running backs to carry the ball 30 or 35 times, but they will have their quarterback (good or bad) air it out 40 times on any given Sunday.The 2017 NFL season saw just under 1.5 receiving touchdowns scored per game but not every catch-for-six comes from an All-Pro wideout. Sometimes the lesser-knowns get their time to shine , allowing them to show off their celebration style and skills in the process. If you don't like the relaxed approach to celebrations then you don't like fun, and that's a problem.Here are 20 players that have, through some miracle, caught a touchdown in the past five seasons. Don't be surprised if you haven't heard much about them before coming here.
