Benoit to the d.l., Nippert up, Main to Clinton (Lone Star Ball)

Sat, 05 Jul 2008 20:34:02 GMT

Evan Grant reports that Joaquin Benoit is headed to the disabled list with shoulder inflammation, and the Rangers have purchased the contract of Dustin Nippert. Nippert was outrighted earlier this year, so if and when the Rangers drop him from the 25 man roster, he'll have the right to become a free agent. Also, per Grant, Michael Main is now a Lumberking, moving to Clinton to take Neftali...

Manny explodes (Extra Bases)

Sun, 20 Apr 2008 02:21:05 GMT

As slow as he walked to first base after jacking a Joaquin Benoit pitch over the monster, Manny Ramirez almost beat David Ortiz to the plate. His two run home run -- No. 496 for his career -- gave the Sox a 5-3 lead, after Ortiz and Dustin Pedroia pumped life back into the Sox lineup. Pedroia sent a shot off the Monster. It hopped off the bat fast enough to make you think it would get...

Just like that, it's tied (Rangers blog)

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 03:01:25 GMT

The Rangers blew a three-run lead in the eighth inning. Joaquin Benoit threw 29 pitches, but only 12 of them for strikes. He loaded the bases and walked in the first run of the inning before being removed for Wes Littleton. Then Ben Broussard went in the hole between first and second to field a grounder ... and promptly threw it away, allowing the tying runs to score. Littleton did get...

Bullpen injuries? (Rangers blog)

Fri, 11 Apr 2008 22:28:49 GMT

Manager Ron Washington said he plans on going with Joaquin Benoit if the club needs a save tonight. He doesn't want to pitch C.J. Wilson again after the closer got two saves in yesterday's doubleheader (and threw 18 pitches). Washington said Guardado's shoulder has some soreness and Jamey Wright has a sore left oblique muscle, so he'd like to stay away from both of those guys. When the...

Bad News Bears? (Rangers blog)

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 05:49:03 GMT

What is the deal with the Rangers defense? A sharp ground ball that might have given the Rangers a chance to get a force out was bobbled by Ian Kinsler. The score is tied at 3. Joaquin Benoit doesn't look great, but much of this isn't his fault. The problem now is that the Mariners have runners at first and second and still no outs. That's three errors for the game now.

Another costly error (Rangers blog)

Wed, 02 Apr 2008 05:47:01 GMT

Michael Young's two-base throwing error has opened things up for the Mariners in the eighth. They already have one run and runners at first and third with no outs for Ichiro Suzuki. Joaquin Benoit on the mound trying to prevent the Rangers from quickly blowing a two-run lead. As Tom and Josh said, it's hard to figure out what happened to Young on the throw. But you could tell as he started...

And he was there for a little while in the top of the first as he threw 30 pitches. An error by first baseman Edgardo Alfonzo (who dropped a low throw from Ian Kinsler) cost Jennings. He allowed one unearned run. Other notes: C.J. Wilson and Joaquin Benoit threw bullpen sessions today and will pitch in a minor league game Saturday. Big crowd today in Surprise.

How does Kevin Millwood's right hamstring hold up to a simulated game today? If it's good, he should pitch in a regular game later this week. If Joaquin Benoit comes out OK on arm strength and if his shoulder feels good, he could also see game action this week. Sidney Ponson should arrive in camp later today. C.J. Wilson should throw a bullpen session today. We'll see how he's feeling....

Here come the relievers (Rangers blog)

Wed, 13 Feb 2008 14:40:34 GMT

If you count everybody invited to spring training, the Rangers could have as many as 18 guys vying for seven spots in the bullpen in 2008. But we already know a few of those players who have jobs: C.J. Wilson, Eddie Guardado, Joaquin Benoit and Kazuo Fukumori. No jobs are set in stone, but it appears that Wilson goes in as the closer with Guardado there to push him. Benoit and...
