Ogando won't play in World Baseball Classic
Alexi Ogando - S - Texas Rangers
Jan. 17, 2013 - 5:30 PM ET
Alexi Ogando is on the provisional roster for the Dominican Republic for the World Baseball Classic, but he has informed the Rangers that he will not play.
Ogando is making the move back to the rotation in 2013 after spending last season in the bullpen, so his focus is on getting ready for the regular season. Rosters for the World Baseball Classic don't have to be finalized until February 20, so there's still time for a replacement to be named for the Dominican Republic team.
