Rangers optioned C Taylor Teagarden to Triple-A Round Rock. He was cleared to make room for Darren O'Day on the active roster. Teagarden, 27, is batting .235 (8-for-34) with two doubles and two RBI with the big club this season. He'll return when rosters expand in September, which will allow Ron Washington to go with three catchers the rest of the way.
