5 years agoTexas Rangers reliever Cody Allen gave up two runs and two hits in one inning of relief on Wednesday against the San Francisco Giants. He has an 11.25 ERA through four innings this spring, and it's not what Allen or the Rangers were hoping for when they invited him to camp. The nine-year veteran battled forearm and elbow stiffness earlier this spring and did not throw for a week. He made two scoreless appearances before Wednesday's disappointment, and he is still in the mix to make the Opening Day roster. Jose Leclerc seems locked in as the reliever to own in the Rangers bullpen, but, if something were to happen to Leclerc, Allen could be next in line, given his extensive experience as a ninth-inning man.--Euan Leith
