The Rangers are considering moving Alexi Ogando to the bullpen for the rest of the season.

The struggles of Yoshinori Tateyama and Koji Uehara are part of the reason, but Ogando hasn’t looked nearly as sharp during the second half of the season. He is currently scheduled to make his next start Thursday against the Indians, but the Rangers have the option of using Scott Feldman in his place. Stay tuned.

Mark Hamburger and Michael Kirkman will not be on the ALDS roster against the Rays.

This means at least one of Yoshinori Tateyama, Scott Feldman and Darren O’Day will make the roster. Hamburger and Kirkman are being sent to the instructional league to stay sharp, so they could return if the Rangers advance to the ALCS.

The Rangers have dropped catcher Matt Treanor from their ALCS roster and added right-hander Yoshinori Tateyama.

The Rangers used Treanor as their third catcher during the ALDS, but Yorvit Torrealba is now expected to serve as the primary backup to the hot-hitting Mike Napoli. Tateyama will join an eight-man bullpen after posting a 4.50 ERA over 44 innings during the regular season.

Rangers placed RHP Yoshinori Tateyama on the 15-day disabled list with back stiffness.

Tateyama hasn’t pitched since last Thursday due to the back issue, so it doesn’t come as a big surprise. The move clears the way for Robbie Ross to secure the final spot in the Rangers’ bullpen.

Rangers exercised Yoshinori Tateyama’s $1 million option for 2012.

An easy choice given the reasonable terms. Though he struggled a bit down the stretch, Tateyama pitched well in his first season stateside, posting a 4.50 ERA and 43/11 K/BB ratio over 44 innings. He’ll pitch out of the Rangers’ bullpen again in 2012.
