"Obviously, Sam was a huge part of us winning the last couple of years," Texas general manager Jon Daniels said. "There was definitely some frustration on our part. We couldn't put him in the right spot to re-create that magic. He is healthy and has been healthy. He just hasn't been able to get back to where he is capable. You can't hide that at a competitive level."

RHP Sam Dyson struggled to a 10.66 ERA until turning in a solid performance Sunday night that dropped his ERA to 9.42. Dyson worked 1 2/3 scoreless innings, allowing just a single and striking out three. "Dyson seemed to look like he's found a nice edge for himself," manager Jeff Banister said. "His fastball was back up to 97 (mph) with electric sink on it. The only hard-hit ball was the (double by Miguel) Cabrera, but he was able to go back out and give us a three-out set in the eighth."

RHP Sam Dyson had a live batting practice session in his bid to return from a right hand contusion that landed him on the disabled list April 17. Dyson will likely begin a rehab stint at Double-A Frisco or Triple-A Round Rock this week. He lost his job as the closer before the injury but feels like he's made strides. "I believe it's been productive, yes," Dyson said. "I've really allowed the last few weeks to overwhelm me in the sense of sitting there trying to overanalyze everything. I'm pretty hard on myself to begin with so it's kind of a matter of taking a step back and watching the guys and cheering the guys on and not really worrying too much about myself."

RHP Sam Dyson was placed on the 10-day disabled list Monday due to a right hand contusion. The closer was injured Sunday in the ninth inning of an 8-7 loss to Seattle at Safeco Field while trying to field a comebacker. Dyson is 0-3 with a 27.00 ERA and three blown saves in six appearances. Dyson is expected to have a rehab stint in the minor leagues after his hand recovers. "This is more about getting the hand right," Rangers manager Jeff Banister said. "We need Sam to get back up here. He's a huge part of this bullpen."

The Texas Rangers placed struggling reliever Sam Dyson on the 10-day disabled list Monday and recalled fellow right-hander Keone Kela from Triple-A Round Rock.Dyson, who is nursing a right hand contusion, has blown all three of his save opportunities and sports an 0-3 record with a 27.00 ERA this season. The 28-year-old has allowed 13 earned runs in 4 1/3 innings over six appearances.Kela did not make the Rangers' Opening Day roster after being sent down for what general manager Jon Daniels and manager Jeff Banister alluded to being clubhouse culture. The latter two did not elaborate on that decision earlier this month.As a rookie in 2015, Kela posted a 7-5 mark with one save and a 2.39 ERA in 68 appearances. While dealing with right elbow issues last season, he was limited to 35 games and finished 5-1 with a 6.09 ERA.Kela, 24, yielded one earned run and struck out eight in four innings with Round Rock this season.

RHP Sam Dyson was tagged with his second blown save of the season when he gave up three runs in the bottom of the ninth to the Angels, who then won in the 10th. Dyson has been so bad, his ninth-inning Tuesday actually improved his ERA from 36.00 to 33.00. Manager Jeff Banister said he might have to rearrange the back end of his bullpen. "As these things continue to mount, there's definitely concern," Banister said. "We've got to find a way to get that third out when we have leads. ... We'll consider all our options. We can't continue to lose baseball games in this manner when we have the lead."

RHP Sam Dyson has blown both of his save chances and has allowed eight earned runs in an inning. On Wednesday night, he allowed back-to-back singles to open the ninth before consecutive one-out walks forced in a run. Then he gave up the game-losing grand slam to Francisco Lindor. "I made some pitches down in the zone and some of the guys were laying off or others were fouling them off or putting them in play and getting singles," Dyson said. "I think the main thing going into an inning late in the game or any inning, for that matter, is to get the leadoff guy out. It's kind of rule No. 1. It gives you the best chance to get out of the inning."

RHP Sam Dyson had a huge season in his first year as the Texas closer last year, saving 38 games. That momentum has carried over this year, too.
