The Texas Rangers have claimed Jeff Beliveau off waivers

The Rangers have claimed 25-year old lefty reliever Jeff Beliveau off waivers from the Cubs. Beliveau pitched in 22 games (0 starts) for the Cubs last year in his first taste of the majors and he was 1-0 with a 4.58 ERA and a 1.87 WHIP. He also pitched in 37 games (0 starts) in AAA-ball last year and he was 4-5 with a 3.89 ERA and a 1.41 WHIP. Beliveau will have a decent shot of making the Rangers’ bullpen next spring.
