3 years agoTexas Rangers closer Joe Barlow (finger) was unavailable to pitch on Wednesday against the Los Angeles Angels due to a "hot spot" on his right index finger, which is essentially a blister. Barlow has dealt with the blister all year, but it became tender and sore on Wednesday, and the Rangers are hoping an extra day of rest will help. Reliever Matt Bush was asked to close the game with Barlow unavailable, and he could not get the job done, allowing a two-run homer to Jared Walsh to tie the game. Dennis Santana allowed a run but was credited with the win in extra innings. Barlow, who has converted all seven of his save chances and hasn't allowed an earned run in 15 straight save chances, could be out a few more days.--Keith Hernandez - RotoBaller
