Rangers put pitcher Loe on waivers

Kameron Loe was put on unconditional release waivers Wednesday by the Texas Rangers, freeing him to sign with the Fukuoka Softbank Hawks of Japan's Pacific League. The 27-year-old right-hander was 1-0 with a 3.23 ERA in 14 relief appearances over five stints with the Rangers this year. In his final appearance of the season, he was hit on an elbow by a line drive against the Los Angeles Angels on Sept. 19. Loe was taken by the Rangers in the 20th round of the 2002 amateur draft.
