MLB: Rangers activate Catalanotto from DL

Arlington, TX (Sports Network) - The Texas Rangers activated outfielder Frank Catalanotto from the 15-day disabled list and optioned infielder Travis Metcalf to Double-A Frisco on Monday.

Catalanotto made five rehab appearances, including one at Double-A Frisco (May 12) and four at Triple-A Oklahoma, where he went .385 (5-13) with two doubles and five runs scored. The 33-year-old has played in 18 games for the Rangers this season and was hitting just .140 with two home runs and eight runs batted in before being put on the DL May 1 with tendonitis in his right bicep.

Metcalf played in two games for the Rangers after the club purchased his contract last Thursday.
