RHP Ross Ohlendorf was signed by the Reds to a one-year contract Saturday (March 26). Ohlendorf, 33, was released by the Royals on Wednesday after he opted out of his minor league deal.Ohlendorf has played nine seasons in the majors. He has 80 career starts and 65 relief appearances, with a 25-34 record and 4.84 ERA. He pitched for the Rangers last season and was used in late-relief situations, going 3-1 with a 3.72 ERA in 21 games.

Ohlendorf's contract was purchased from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

The 33-year-old journeyman should handle low-leverage situations out of the Rangers' bullpen down the stretch.

Ohlendrf re-signed with the Rangers on a minor league contract Wednesday.

Ohlendorf wasn't terrible in his outings, but didn't do enough to keep a spot on the major league roster. He'll now pitch for Triple-A Round Rock, but could be a candidate for recall if an injury occurs in either the Rangers' rotation or bullpen.

Ohlendorf was placed on release waivers Friday.

Ohlendorf will be subject to waivers, and the expectation is that he'll pass through unclaimed, which would make him a free agent. The veteran has made eight relief appearances for Texas this season, allowing seven hits and three runs over 7.2 innings.

Ohlendorf was designated for assignmentMonday.

Ohlendorf was set to be activated from the disabled list Tuesday, but the Rangers chose to cut bait instead of adding him to the active roster. With no corresponding roster move, the Rangers now have 39 players on the 40-man roster.

Ohlendorf (groin) will likely be activated from the 15-day disabled list during the Rangers' upcoming homestand, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Ohlendorf's rehab window closes Saturday, so the Rangers will have to make a decision on him in the coming days. General manager Jon Daniels' comments indicate that Ohlendorf will be activated at some point during the Rangers' homestand that begins Monday and runs through August 5. Over the last 28 days, Ohlendorf has posted a 3.55 ERA over 12.2 innings of work at Triple-A Round Rock.

Ohlendorf (groin) threw a simulated game Tuesday, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Ohlendorf is eligible to return from the disabled list Friday, but he probably won't be ready for at least a couple more weeks. Once healthy, he could be a decent source of holds, although saves will likely be tough to come by.

Ohlendorf was placed on the 15-day DL on Sunday with a strained right groin, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

Ohlendorf went unused in the Rangers' last three games, so he'll be eligible to return from the DL on June 19 if recovered from the groin injury by that time. The Rangers called up Spencer Patton from Triple-A Round Rock to replace Ohlendorf in the bullpen.

Ohlendorf navigated around a hit and a walk in a scoreless ninth on Sunday to earn his first win of the season, as the Rangers won the game in the bottom of the inning.

The righty has been reliable for the most part in his eighth inning role, but still sports a hefty 4.05 ERA due to a couple of rough outings. As long as he's not seeing any save chances in the Rangers' new "matchup bullpen," Ohlendorf can remain on the waiver wire.

Ohlendorf allowed one run on one hit, walking one and striking out two in the ninth inning to record his first save as the Rangers outlasted the Yankees 10-9 Friday night.

Just called up from Triple-A Round Rock five days ago, Ohlendorf was called upon to close out a game that was in danger of slipping away. The Rangers' bullpen had allowed three runs in 1.1 innings allowing the Yankees to close within two. With new closer Shawn Tolleson unavailable having saved the last two, Ohlendorf allowed a one-out solo home run to Mark Teixeira before finishing the game. He is unlikely to see many more save opportunities in the foreseeable future.
