The Rangers have designated lefty Ryan Feierabend for assignment, the club announced. Righty Phil Klein will take his spot on the active and 40-man rosters.
Feierabend, 28, threw to a 6.14 ERA in 7 1/3 frames for Texas this year, his first MLB action since 2008. Mostly a starter in his previous experience and in the minors, Feierabend threw from the bullpen for the Rangers. He owns a 4.54 ERA through 113 Triple-A innings on the year.

53 players have appeared in a Texas Rangers uniform this season…Klein would be the 54th. Wonder what the record is…

I can go one further for you Chris…the Round Rock Express’ record for the most players used in a season WAS 62, set in 2011. They’ve now used 70 players so far this season and there’s still a month left in the season.

wow…that’s something.

The fact that Feierabend is only (almost) 29 is astonishing. I thought he had to be at least 34 by now. Didn’t realize he was only 20 when Seattle called him up in ’06.
