Rangers selected the contracts of 1B Abimelec Ortiz, RHP David Davalillo and RHP Leandro Lopez from Triple-A Round Rock.

Ortiz earns a spot on Texas’ 40-man roster and will be protected from next month’s Rule 5 Draft after recording an .835 OPS with 25 home runs and four steals in 130 games between Double-A Frisco and Triple-A Round Rock this past season. He offers enough over-the-fence power potential to be interesting if it comes together at the highest level.
