Palumbo and Kolby Allard will be the first wave of depth starters for the Rangers, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.
Nothing changes for Palumbo, a left-hander who was assigned to Triple-A Nashville back in March. He was always on the list of names if the Rangers needed a fill-in or spot starter, even if the season had been a normal one. The only decision left is whether Palumbo will be on the expanded roster or part of Texas' taxi squad.
