Texas options Tejeda to Triple-A; Feldman returns to Majors; Shouse designated

ARLINGTON -- The Texas Rangers restocked their depleted bullpen as expected on Monday, calling up right-hander Scott Feldman and optioning Robinson Tejeda to Triple-A Oklahoma. What was unexpected was the team's decision to sever ties, in all likelihood, with left-handed reliever Brian Shouse.

Shouse, who led the Texas bullpen in holds last year and was one of the league's most effective situational left-handers in 2004, was designated for assignment on Monday. The team has 10 days to trade Shouse or outright him to the Minor Leagues if he clears waivers, an assignment he could refuse at risk of forfeiting his $725,000 salary.
