The Texas Rangers have agreed to a minor league contract with left-hander Anthony Veneziano, according to a report from The Dallas Morning News. He is expected to report to Triple-A Round Rock as part of the organization’s pitching depth.
The move continues a familiar pattern for Texas, which has viewed Veneziano as a useful depth option. While it is not a major league signing, adding him to the Triple-A roster gives the club another arm it can monitor closely during the stretch of the season.
For Round Rock, Veneziano’s arrival adds another left-handed option to the pitching staff. Minor league deals like this are often about building coverage for a long season, especially when teams want experienced or known arms available in the upper levels of the system.
The Rangers’ decision suggests they remain comfortable with Veneziano as organizational depth and see value in keeping him in the fold. With the agreement in place, he now heads to Round Rock and will try to work his way into the picture from there.
