The Rangers released 23-year-old Double-A Frisco righthander Cody Buckel, a 2010 second-rounder who once ranked as the No. 6 prospect in the system, after four relief appearances this season.

Buckel first reached Double-A during the 2012 season, when across two levels he went 10-8, 2.49 with 9.9 strikeouts and 3.0 walks per nine innings while allowing just 105 hits in 145 innings.
