Gerson Garabito: Released by Texas

The Rangers released Garabito on Saturday.

Garabito earned a roster spot in the Rangers' Opening Day bullpen, but he was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on two occasions in April and had made each of his last 10 appearances in the minors, posting an 8.53 ERA and 1.77 WHIP in 31.2 innings. Rather than removing Garabito from the 40-man roster by designating Garabito for assignment, the Rangers will allow the right-hander to bypass the waiver process and select his next destination. According to Kennedi Landry of MLB.com, Garabito is expected to head overseas and sign with a Korea Baseball Organization club.
