Rangers' Luis Ortiz: Lands in Texas

Ortiz signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Wednesday.

The deal doesn't include an invitation to big-league spring training, so Ortiz is likely being viewed as a candidate for the rotation at Triple-A Round Rock or Double-A Frisco. The 2014 first-round pick most recently played in 2019, spending most of that season at Triple-A Norfolk in the Orioles organization and posting a 6.38 ERA over 66.1 innings.
