Arlington, TX (SportsNetwork. Emre Can Juventus Jersey .com) - The Texas Rangers announced on Tuesday that first baseman Mitch Moreland underwent surgery on his ailing left ankle. Moreland had been placed on the 15-day disabled list with Os Trigonum Syndrome in that ankle back on June 10. He ended up having a reconstructive procedure on a ligament along with bone realignment, all of which is expected to sideline him for three months. The club revealed Moreland is currently recovering in his native Mississippi. The 28-year-old Moreland batted just .246 with two home runs and 23 RBI over 52 games this season. As a result, Texas purchased the contract of first baseman Carlos Pena from Triple-A Round Rock and designated infielder Brad Snyder for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster. Pena, 36, has eight hits in 24 at-bats (one HR, two RBI) over seven games with Round Rock thus far. The native of the Dominican Republic batted .207 with eight homers and 25 RBI in 89 games between the Astros and Royals in 2013. Per the clubs executive vice president of communications, Pena will play first base and bat sixth against the Tigers later Tuesday. Snyder hit a paltry .167 in 10 games with the Rangers from June 10-22 -- his first major league action since 2011 for the Cubs.

Cole scored two goals in the second period when Dallas snapped a tie, and the Stars went on to beat the Predators 4-1 on Friday night. The Predators (16-18-4) are 1-4-1 since defeating Dallas at home on Dec. 12 and winless in their last five games. They have allowed 21 goals in those games. Jamie Benn scored on Dallas first shot, a wraparound just 42 seconds into the game. Antoine Roussel missed a penalty shot at 16:35 of the first period. "We had a couple of really great scoring chances prior to that," Cole said. "I felt we were creating opportunities. "Everyone upped their intensity. We got the two quick ones." Nashville tied it on Kevin Kleins first goal this season at 7:14 of the second. The defenceman skated down the slot and knocked Colin Wilsons centring pass from low in the left circle past goalie Kari Lehtonen at 7:14. Just 24 seconds later, Cole sent a drive from the right circle into the near corner of the net for a 2-1 lead. Rich Peverleys backhanded pass from the goal line set up Cole. "We could have been talking about a missed penalty shot, and 3-on-1s and 2-on-1s," Stars coach Lindy Ruff said. "To answer right away was important." On his second goal, Cole skated in hard at Hutton, then stopped abruptly. The goalie spread-eagled across the net, but Cole fitted the puck between Huttons left skate and the right post. "That first shift after a goal is critical," Nashville coach Barry Trotz said. "You want to get it in and get some zone time so you can keep some momentum on the other team. We didnt do that. "We were in pretty goodd defensive position on that. Mario Mandzukic Jersey. It was a seeing-eye puck and thats the way its been going for us." Ryan Garbutt tipped in a shot at 4:09 of the third for Dallas final goal. Lehtonen made 33 saves. Over the last four games, he has allowed only six goals on 132 shots, a .954 save percentage. Hutton stopped 30 shots for Nashville, which had changed goalies in its three previous games. Benn beat Hutton after skating behind the net. Hutton was late getting across, seemingly more concerned with Tyler Seguin on the left side. "It was definitely a tough way to start," Hutton said. "I tried to battle, but giving up four is not good enough on any night." Dallas had a chance for a two-goal lead at 16:35 of the first period. Roussel was awarded a penalty shot when he was pulled down after taking a pass at the blue line and splitting two defenders. It was Roussels second penalty shot this season. He scored the winning goal in a 4-3 victory at Chicago on Dec. 3. Nashville outshot the Stars 9-7 in the first, but Dallas also missed seven shots to the Predators three. "We stayed a little bit more disciplined," Benn said. NOTES: The line of Benn, Seguin and Valeri Nichushkin has totalled 12 goals in the last six games. .
