TORONTO (AP) – The Texas Rangers have put left-hander Michael Kirkman on the 15-day disabled list after a recurrence of lymphoma around his right triceps. The team says a complete recovery is expected.
In making the move Sunday, the Rangers said Kirkman will begin treatment shortly and will be able to participate in baseball activities.

A day after an 18-inning loss at Toronto, the Rangers purchased the contract of right-hander Kyle McClellan from Triple-A Round Rock. The Rangers transferred right-hander Joakim Soria from the 15-day to the 60-day DL to make room on the 40-man roster.
