ARLINGTON, Texas - The Texas Rangers will call up right-hander Justin Grimm from Double-A Frisco to start Saturday's game against the Houston Astros in place of the injured Alexi Ogando.
The Rangers won't make a roster move until Saturday, but Koji Uehara will be placed on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right lat muscle and fellow right-hander Neftali Feliz will be moved to the 60-day DL.
Feliz won't be eligible to return until July 18 at the earliest.
Grimm, 23, is 8-3 with a 1.87 ERA in 13 starts for Frisco this season. He has 67 strikeouts to only 14 walks, and opponents are batting .228 against him. A fifth-round draft pick in 2010, Grimm as 7-3 with a 3.39 ERA in 25 starts split between Class A Hickory and Myrtle Beach in 2011.
Ogando strained his groin running out a bunt hit in Sunday's game in San Francisco. Ogando was the third Rangers starter to hit the DL in the past few weeks, joining left-hander Derek Holland (stomach ailment, shoulder) and Feliz (sprained elbow ligament).
