Former All-Star right-hander Tyson Ross has signed a minor league deal with the Texas Rangers.
Ross, 33, didn’t play in 2020 after being released by the San Francisco Giants.
Ross was a solid starting pitcher for the San Diego Padres in 2014-15 when he won 23 games and recorded 407 strikeouts in 391 innings during the two-season span. He was an All-Star in 2014.
Ross pitched in just one game in 2016 due to shoulder issues. He underwent thoracic outlet surgery after the season and wasn’t tendered a contract for 2017, which allowed him to become a free agent.
