Rangers' Brandon Mann: Cast off 40-man roster

Mann was outrighted from the Rangers' 40-man roster Friday and is expected to choose free agency.

Mann got his first taste of the majors this past year, pitching in seven games for the Rangers as a low-leverage bullpen arm. The 34-year-old left-hander will likely head to the free-agent market in hopes of finding an organization that will give him a chance to make the Opening Day roster in 2019.
