ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) -Rangers left-hander Eddie Guardado was placed on the disabled list retroactive to April 5 with a sore shoulder on Saturday.
Right-hander Luis Mendoza (blister on right middle finger) was activated from the DL and will start Saturday night’s game against the Toronto Blue Jays.
The 37-year-old Guardado is attempting to comeback from Tommy John surgery in 2006. He has made two appearances with the Rangers this season.
“It’s frustrating because I get where I want to be and then I have this setback,” Guardado said. “It’s not fun. But I didn’t want to be stupid. I want to be smart about this.”
The Rangers are battling injuries in the bullpen. Right-handers Dustin Nippert (shin) and Jamey Wright (strained oblique muscle) have nagging ailments, and C.J. Wilson is the only left-hander in the Texas bullpen with Guardado sidelined.
Texas is expected to call up right-hander Scott Feldman from the minors to start Sunday’s game, so another move may have to be made.
“Over the course of the year these things are going to happen,” Texas manager Ron Washington said. “We’re not crying. We just have to solve the problem that’s presented to us.”
Mendoza made one rehab start in Triple-A Oklahoma after going 1-0 with a 2.25 ERA in six appearances with the Rangers last season.
