Closer Update: Frank Francisco to DL; C.J. Wilson to Close in Texas
Posted by Mike Caprio May 16, 2009
Â
As we mentioned earlier in the week Texas Rangers closer Frank Francisco continues to be bothered by right bicep tendinitis and has been placed on the 15-day DL. Â In the interim, Rangers’ set-up man C.J. Wilson will man closer duties for the Rangers and could serve as a nice waiver wire pick-up. (If you haven’t already been beaten to the punch). Â For those on Twitter, C.J. Wilson’s handle is @str8edgeracer.
In 17 appearances this season C.J.’s line is:
15.1 Innings, 2 Wins, 2 Losses, 1 Save (Last Night), 4.11 ERA, 10 K, 9 BB (1.11 K/BB)
For those who forget, C.J. had 24 saves for the Rangers in 2008 and 12 saves in 2007.
