Rangers Put Harden On DL Because Of Right Shoulder
Texas Rangers starter Rich Harden is back on the disabled list, this time with tendinitis in his right shoulder.
The Rangers announced the move before their game Sunday against Boston. Harden has made only two starts since coming back from missing 42 games with a left gluteal muscle strain.
Outfielder Brandon Boggs was recalled from Triple-A Oklahoma City.
Boggs provides outfield depth after Nelson Cruz came out of Saturday night's game with a tight hamstring.
Harden (4-4, 5.45 ERA in 15 starts) was scheduled to start Tuesday night at Tampa. The Rangers didn't say who will replace the right-hander for that start.
The DL move is retroactive to Aug. 8.
