Rangers' Zak Kent: Added to 40-man roster
Rotowire
Kent was added to the Rangers' 40-man roster Tuesday.
Kent has a hammer curveball that plays as a plus pitch when he is locating his low-to-mid-90s fastball. Considering he will turn 25 in February and has made just five starts at Triple-A, the clock is ticking on Kent to make it as a starting pitcher. However, he could have a nice fall-back plan as a setup man if he is moved to relief.
