ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) The Texas Rangers have promoted well-traveled pitcher Kyle Lohse from Triple-A and will have him start right away.

Lohse was set to pitch Saturday night at home against Minnesota.

Lohse was 2-5 with a 5.06 ERA in 10 starts in the minors for Round Rock. The AL West-leading Rangers have had several injuries in their rotation this season.

The 37-year-old Lohse is 147-141 in 15 big league seasons. The righty went 5-13 for Milwaukee last year. He also has pitched for Minnesota, Cincinnati, Philadelphia and St. Louis.

To make room for Lohse on the roster, Texas optioned right-hander Nick Martinez to Round Rock late Friday.
