The 32-year-old Lorenzen was signed too late into the spring to pitch in any Cactus League games.
Texas Rangers pitcher Michael Lorenzen talks with fellow pitcher Dane Dunning in the dugout during the fourth inning of an exhibition baseball game at Globe Life Field on Monday, March 25, 2024.— will open the regular season on the injured list so that he has ample time to build up his stamina, general manager Chris Young said. Because the 32-year-old right-hander signed with the Rangers so late into the offseason cycle, he wasn’t able to pitch in any Cactus League games.
Lorenzen threw a 28-pitch live bullpen session on Wednesday at Globe Life Field and said that he’s scheduled to pitch for Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday vs. Sugar Land. He could be placed on the injured list retroactive to Monday , which would make him eligible to return on April 9.“I feel great, I feel good,” Lorenzen said. “The shapes of my pitches are really good, I’m really happy about that. I’m feeling confident, feeling good.
“We’ll evaluate as Michael builds up, how he slides in at some point,” Young said. “I think what we have with Cody and Dane and Michael and Jose Urena , we have some unique ways of really building the rotation out based on matchups.”Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Wednesday that the club still does not have a starting rotation set ahead of Thursday’s opening day — largely because right-hander Jon Gray reported a stiff neck on Tuesday.
