Rangers reacquire switch-hitting OF Robbie Grossman in a trade with the White Sox

OAKLAND, Calif. (AP) — The Texas Rangers reacquired switch-hitting outfielder Robbie Grossman in a trade Wednesday with the Chicago White Sox.

Texas sent minor league right-hander Anthony Hoopii-Tuionetoa to Chicago. Grossman hit .238 with 10 homers and 49 RBIs in 115 games for the Rangers last season, when they won their first World Series title.

Grossman went to the White Sox on a minor league deal in free agency, and was called up a week into this season when outfielder and designated hitter Eloy Jiménez was placed on the 10-day injured list. Grossman hit .211 with no homers and four RBIs in 19 games, but batted .375 (6 for 16) with two doubles and four walks against left-handed pitchers — he hit. 309 with five homers in those situations for Texas last year.

Rangers rookie outfielder Wyatt Langford, a right-handed hitter, could be out a month after going on the injured list this week with a strained right hamstring.
