St. Louis Cardinals Claim Texas Rangers Pitcher Off Waivers

Kolton Ingram, who was designated for assignment by the Texas Rangers earlier this week, was claimed by the St. Louis Cardinals on Friday, the team announced. The Rangers designated Ingram for assignment on Wednesday as part of a flurry of moves during preparation for their doubleheader with the Oakland Athletics. Has Ingram made it through waivers, Ingram would have had the right to accept a Rangers assignment to the minors or become a free agent. The Cardinals appeared to not want to take that chance.
