He had started at five different positions during his time at Round Rock, but had managed only one extra-base hit and had been caught stealing three times in seven attempts.<\/p>\n<p>Wade had spent parts of nine major league seasons with four different clubs. He slashed .206\/.309\/.252\/.561 in 60 games for San Diego last season.<\/p>\n<p>Wade\u2019s departure will also create more playing time for Cody Freeman once the versatile, high-energy utility player is back on the field. Freeman, who missed all of spring training with a stress reaction in his back, has started swinging a bat again and his progression could get him to Round Rock on a rehab assignment in the next week.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Texas Rangers are releasing veteran infielder Tyler Wade from his minor league contract to allow him to&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":258145,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[1638,27,29,28],"class_list":["post-258144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-texas","tag-brief","tag-texas","tag-texas-headlines","tag-texas-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258144","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=258144"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/258144\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/258145"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=258144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=258144"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=258144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
