Texas Rangers starting pitcher Joe Palumbo allowed seven earned runs, six hits and three walks with one strikeout over just two innings in a loss against the Cleveland Indians on Wednesday in his second career start. He also hit a batter while managing first-pitch strikes to just six of the 15 batters he faced. Manager Chris Woodward said the Indians sat on Palumbo's fastball and apparently learned from studying his first start against the Oakland A's. If he remains with the big club, his next scheduled start would come next Tuesday in Detroit.

Texas Rangers pitcher Joe Palumbo will get the ball to start the game Wednesday against the Cleveland Indians. This will be his second career major league start for the young left-hander. Palumbo has appeared in one game for the Rangers this year, allowing four earned runs in four innings on June 8 against Oakland. In 10 starts at Double-A Frisco this year, Palumbo owned a 3.19 ERA with 69 strikeouts in 53 innings. Carrying a 10.5 K/9 in his minor league career, Palumbo has strikeout upside for fantasy owners, but beyond that does not have the profile of an impact starter in the big leagues.
