thought i'd post this as soon as i came across it--
from dallasnews-
'The ailing mother of right-hander Ismael Valdes, Sunday's scheduled starter, underwent additional surgery Saturday in Dallas. The Rangers hope Valdes can make his start. If not, the team would probably turn to reliever Steve Woodard."
also
"The Rangers will add backup catcher Hector Ortiz to the major league roster, perhaps on Sunday. Adding him will probably cost left-handed reliever Chris Michalak his spot on the 40-man roster or reliever Dan Micelli"
