CHICAGO – Leave it to Woodward, an optimist who doesn’t believe in complaining, to find a positive out of Friday’s COVID-19-forced roster shuffle. Ever since Garver returned from the IL with a right flexor strain in his forearm on May 20, he’s been solely a designated hitter. Having a full roster spot devoted to a designated hitter, however, isn’t what the Rangers set out to do. “With Mitch, it was kind of handcuffing the DH spot,” Woodward said. I don’t want these guys to wear down.”Briefly: Nathaniel Lowe’s solo home run in the top of the fifth secured the 11th time in 12 games that the Rangers hit at least one homer in a game.
