| Player Notes |
| September 3, 2006 The Rangers recalled John Rheinecker from Triple-A Oklahoma Sunday, according to the AP. Rheinecker was 4-5 with a 6.03 ERA in 13 starts with the Rangers before being optioned to the minors on Aug. 1. Rheinecker will likely pitch out of the Rangers bullpen. |
| August 1, 2006 The Rangers optioned John Rheinecker to Triple-A on Tuesday, according to the AP. Rheinecker lost his spot in the starting rotation when the team acquired Kip Wells from the Pirates. |
| August 1, 2006 The Dallas Morning News reports that John Rheinecker will be replaced by Kip Wells in the starting rotation. Rheinecker, who held a 6.03 ERA in 13 starts, will be moved to the bullpen. |
| July 26, 2006 The performance of John Rheinecker tonight against the Yankees will help determine whether or not he'll remain in the rotation, according to the Dallas Morning News. With Adam Eaton returning from the DL, either Rheinecker or John Wasdin will be moved to the bullpen. "I'm a rookie, so I always feel I'm proving myself," Rheinecker said. "Every start, I feel pressure to perform. I feel like I'm on a short leash, so I'd like to pitch well, get some early outs and see if I can get deeper in the game." |
| July 25, 2006 Even with Adam Eaton returning from the DL today, John Rheinecker will remain in the starting rotation for the time being, according to the Dallas Morning News. He is slated to make his next start on Wednesday against the Yankees. |
| July 18, 2006 John Rheinecker did not make the trip to Canada for a three-game series with Toronto after leaving his birth certificate at a Baltimore hotel room, according to the AP. After Rheinecker remembered where he left it the room was searched but it didn't turn up. He flew to Dallas and will rejoin the team in Boston for his start on Thursday. |
| June 2, 2006 John Rheinecker will start on Sunday in place of Kevin Millwood, who is dealing with a stiff back, according to the Dallas Morning News. Rheinecker is 1-0 with a 1.46 ERA in two starts with Texas this year. |
| June 1, 2006 The Rangers decided not to send John Rheinecker down to the minors after he threw 8 1/3 scoreless innings against Seattle on Monday, according to the Dallas Morning News. He will make his next start on Tuesday against the Royals. |
| May 30, 2006 Because the Rangers won't need a fifth starter again until June 10 when they play the Red Sox, they are considering optioning down John Rheinecker to Triple-A Oklahoma and replacing him with outfielder Freddy Guzman, according to the Rangers website. However, Texas officials are also considering keeping Rheinecker on the roster and pitching him out of the bullpen. Rheinecker is 1-0 with a 1.46 ERA and 12 1/3 IP in two starts for the Rangers. |
| May 29, 2006 The Rangers recalled John Rheinecker from Triple-A Oklahoma on Monday and started him against the Mariners, according to the AP. He was 2-1 with a 3.26 ERA in nine starts for Oklahoma. |
| May 27, 2006 John Rheinecker will make his start on Monday instead of Sunday, according to the Dallas Morning News. Rheinecker was originally slated to start on Sunday to give Vicente Padilla's sore ankle time to heal, but Padilla's ankle has healed enough to enable him to go on Sunday. |
| May 26, 2006 John Rheinecker is expected to start against Oakland on Sunday, according to the Contra Costa Times. Vicente Padilla was initially slated to go on Sunday, but he will start on Monday instead to give his sore right ankle time to heal. He won't be called up from Triple-A Oklahoma until the end of the Rangers-Athletics game on Saturday night. |
| May 14, 2006 Unless Vicente Padilla can't make his scheduled start Tuesday, the Rangers no longer are expected to recall John Rheinecker from Triple-A Oklahoma to start next week, according to the Dallas Morning News. Yesterday's rained out game changed the scheduled rotation. |
| May 10, 2006 The Rangers are expected to recall John Rheinecker from Triple-A Oklahoma to start Tuesday, according to the Dallas Morning News. He's 1-1 with a 4.36 ERA since being optioned to Oklahoma April 23. |
| April 23, 2006 The Rangers optioned John Rheinecker to Triple-A Oklahoma on Sunday. Rheinecker started on Saturday night in his major league debut, but the Rangers apparently don't yet see him as a long-term option for the rotation. |
| April 22, 2006 The Rangers called up John Rheinecker from Triple-A Oklahoma to start Saturday against the Devil Rays, according to the AP. Rheinecker pitched four innings in his major league debut, giving up two runs on seven hits. |
| April 22, 2006 The Rangers will recall John Rheinecker from Triple-A Oklahoma to start Saturday's game, according to the Dallas Morning News. Rick Bauer was an option, but since the bullpen was taxed Friday, they want him available in long relief. Rheinecker is 0-1 with a 5.87 ERA and 10 strikeouts in 15.1 innings for Oklahoma. |
