Boggs to get more ABs; Ellison up: Texas purchased the contract of outfielder Jason Ellison from Triple-A Oklahoma before its game against the New York Yankees and transferred left-hander A.J. Murray to the 60-day disabled list. Murray has been out since June 4 with a strained left rotator cuff. With David Murphy going to the disabled list, rookie Brandon Boggs will get most of Murphy's at-bats in left field. (Updated 08/07/2008).

Fantasy Analysis
The 29-year-old Ellison was batting .242 with two homers, 44 RBIs and 14 stolen bases in 114 games for Oklahoma. He has a .251 average with eight homers and 33 RBIs in 335 big league games with San Francisco, Seattle and Cincinnati. He's really just organizational depth and is not worth a look in Fantasy at this time. Ellison can play all three outfield positions and has the speed to give the Rangers a pinch-running option. Boggs continues to be just an AL-only Fantasy option. (Updated 08/07/2008).
