Aug. 2 3:43 PM PT4:43 PM MT5:43 PM CT6:43 PM ET11:43 PM GMT7:43 AM 北京时间-The Texas Rangers activated Francisco from the 15-day disabled list prior to Sunday night's game against the Seattle Mariners.
Analysis: Francisco is recovering from the flu and a mild case of pneumonia, and manager Ron Washington said Francisco won't return as Texas' closer right away. Left-hander C.J. Wilson has thrived in the closer's role while Francisco spent his third stint in the DL this season and missed the previous 17 games. Wilson has earned saves in his last five appearances.
Aug. 2 3:43 PM PT4:43 PM MT5:43 PM CT6:43 PM ET11:43 PM GMT7:43 AM 北京时间-Francisco is ready to return and could be activated as early as Sunday following pneumonia, according to the Dallas Morning News.
Analysis: The newspaper reported that Francisco won't immediately return to the closer role, with C.J. Wilson doing a nice job in the ninth inning.
Jul. 1 4:43 PM PT5:43 PM MT6:43 PM CT7:43 PM ET12:43 AM GMT8:43 AM 北京时间-Francisco is back in the role he prefers: closer. Texas Rangers manager Ron Washington made the move before his club played the Los Angeles Angels Wednesday night.
Analysis: Francisco has spent two stints on the DL this season, and has been used mostly as a setup man since he was activated on June 20, but now he'll again become a good source of saves.
Jun. 20 6:36 PM PT7:36 PM MT8:36 PM CT9:36 PM ET2:36 AM GMT10:36 AM 北京时间-Francisco from the disabled list before their game against the San Francisco Giants on Saturday night. Francisco has not pitched in a major league game since June 3 due to right shoulder tendinitis.
Analysis: The right-hander's 1-1 with a 0.46 ERA and 12 saves in 19 appearances with the Rangers, converting all of his save opportunities.
Jun. 13 3:19 PM PT4:19 PM MT5:19 PM CT6:19 PM ET11:19 PM GMT7:19 AM 北京时间-Francisco hasn't pitched in 10 days, yet the Rangers still have no plans to put him on the disabled list for the second time this season. Manager Ron Washington said Saturday that Francisco, who has been sidelined by shoulder stiffness, is on a throwing program. The next step is to ``amp him up'' during a bullpen session Sunday and see how he responds.
Analysis: Francisco hasn't pitched since June 3 against the New York Yankees, when he earned his 12th save in as many chances this season. The right-hander was on 15-day disabled list last month because of right biceps tendinitis. Francisco didn't do any throwing Saturday, a day after doing long toss.
Jun. 1 9:46 AM PT10:46 AM MT11:46 AM CT12:46 PM ET5:46 PM GMT1:46 AM 北京时间-Adam Kennedy ripped a 1-0 fastball off Francisco into the right field seats in the ninth inning, ending Francisco's streak of 28 appearances without having yielded an earned run as the Rangers lost 5-4 to Oakland on Sunday.
Analysis: Francisco had 17 2-3 scoreless innings in his first 17 games this season, the most in the majors without giving up a run. Francisco didn't show up in the clubhouse for an extended period after the game. When he finally arrived, he said he wasn't upset or ducking reporters but was just going through his usual post-game routine. "It was a fastball in the middle of the plate,'' Francisco said of the homer to Kennedy.
May 30 10:35 AM PT11:35 AM MT12:35 PM CT1:35 PM ET6:35 PM GMT2:35 AM 北京时间-Francisco pitched a scoreless ninth in the first game of a doubleheader Friday for his 11th save in a 6-3 win over the A's.
Analysis: Francisco is one of baseball's best-kept secrets, although MLB insiders are aware of the right-hander's prowess. Francisco has not allowed a run over 17 2-3 innings.
May 23 1:04 PM PT2:04 PM MT3:04 PM CT4:04 PM ET9:04 PM GMT5:04 AM 北京时间-Francisco, who was activated from the disabled list before the game, pitched the 10th inning to lock down Texas' 6-5 win over Houston on Friday and earn his 10th save in 10 tries.
Analysis: Francisco still hasn't allowed a run this season, and a bout with right biceps tendinitis doesn't seem to have slowed him down.
May 22 2:48 PM PT3:48 PM MT4:48 PM CT5:48 PM ET10:48 PM GMT6:48 AM 北京时间-The Texas Rangers have activated Francisco from the disabled list.
Analysis: Francisco will be available for Friday night's interleague series opener against the Houston Astros. He has nine saves and a 1-0 record in 14 2/3 scoreless innings.
