Schierholtz was released by the Rangers on Saturday, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports. Upon learning that he would not make the major league roster out of camp, Schierholtz seemingly asked out of his minor league deal, and the Rangers obliged. The 31-year-old Schierholtz struggled in Cactus League play this spring, going 9-for-34 with seven strikeouts, two walks and zero extra-base hits.
