<p>SURPRISE, Ariz. — Tyson Ross has signed a minor league contract with the Texas Rangers, though the veteran right-hander initially won’t be part of their major league camp. </p>
<p>The Rangers said Friday that the 33-year-old Ross, whose last big league action was with Detroit in 2019, will participate in workouts with their rehab group. </p>
<p>After three appearances for San Francisco in spring training last year, Ross was released prior to the start of summer camp and decided not to play in 2020.</p>
<p>Ross is 44-70 with a 4.04 ERA in 203 career games (142 starts) over 10 big league seasons. He went to Texas as a free agent before the 2017 season and was 3-3 with a 7.71 ERA in 12 games (10 starts) before being released in mid-September.</p>
<p>He was limited to one game for San Diego in 2016 because of a thoracic outlet procedure. The previous three seasons with the Padres, he was 26-34 with a 3.07 ERA and 526 strikeouts in 516 2/3 innings — and was an All-Star in 2014. </p>
<p>Ross also pitched for Oakland (2010-12) and St. Louis (2018). He was 1-5 with a 6.11 ERA in seven starts for the Tigers two years ago. </p>
