Murray

Murray, who returning from a torn labrum this year, pitched the first six innings. He is a potential middle reliever for the Rangers.

Murray has given up five runs in nine innings for Texas this season. He’ll resume pitching in middle relief.

Murray gave up two runs in 1 1/3 innings in his only appearance for the Rangers.

Murray had done a nice job over the last few weeks, but he pitched three innings last night and the Rangers needed an infielder. As a result, he’ll head back to Triple-A until rosters expand.

Murray had a 3.25 ERA in 44 1/3 innings for Oklahoma. He’ll work in middle relief.

It’s a big start for the lefty, as Texas plans to look at him as a starting pitcher next year. Murray (1-1 with a 5.29 ERA) will be on a pitch count of 65 to 70 pitches, so if the Rangers get four innings out of him, they’ll be happy.

Murray was the only one here with a realistic chance of making the team, but he gave up six runs in five innings. Harrison allowed six runs -- four earned -- in 6 1/3 innings. He’ll be in the rotation at Oklahoma and could receive a callup in the first half of the season.

He’ll also get an invite to spring training. The 27-year-old spent last season between Double-A Frisco and Triple-A Oklahoma City, going a combined 4-2 with a 2.87 ERA and one save in 41 appearances. He will provide organizational depth for Milwaukee.

Murray, 26, had a 4.50 ERA in two starts and 12 relief appearances for the Rangers last season. He’ll start Saturday in place of Jason Jennings, but he’s a poor bet in AL-only leagues.

Murray allowed six hits, walked two and struck out two. With back-to-back starts against the Mariners coming up, it’d almost be tempting to pick him up in AL-only leagues. However, while Seattle is struggling overall, the team’s lineup is hitting .321 versus southpaws, with an OPS about 200 points better than against righties. It’s best to stay away for now.
