Rangers to designate Sam Dyson for assignment

Texas Rangers reliever Sam Dyson will be designated for assignment, according to Ken Rosenthal of Fox Sports.

What It Means:

Rosenthal says the Rangers would like to trade Dyson and that at least one team has expressed interest. The 29-year-old reliever excelled in the closer role last season (2.43 ERA, 38 saves), but the wheels have fallen off in 2017, leading to Matt Bush taking over ninth-inning duties for Texas.

Dyson recorded a brutal 10.80 ERA across 16 2/3 innings (17 appearances) this season with a 2.58 WHIP, 7.7 percent strikeout rate, and 13.2 percent walk rate. He's 0-for-4 on save chances and has been charged with six losses.
