The Texas Rangers announced on Tuesday that they placed pitcher Alexi Ogando on the 15-day disabled list thanks to right shoulder inflammation.
The move is retroactive to Aug. 14.
The right-hander lands on the DL for the third time this season. He was out from May 16-June 4 with right biceps tendinitis and then again from June 9-July 22 with the same malady which caused his latest stint on the shelf.

Ogando has gone 5-4 with a 3.47 ERA over 15 starts for the Rangers this season.
In other roster moves, the contract of pitcher Travis Blackley was selected from Triple-A Round Rock and pitcher Matt West was recalled from Single-A Myrtle Beach and then placed on the 60-day disabled list.
Blackley is scheduled to start on Tuesday against his former club. He was acquired from Houston in exchange for cash considerations on Aug. 14. The left-hander went 1-1 with a 4.89 ERA in 42 relief appearances for the Astros this season.
