Griffin (shoulder) will be activated from the disabled list to start Saturday's game against the Red Sox.
Analysis:
It was previously believed that Griffin would start the series opener Friday, but that will instead go to Nick Martinez. His last major league start came May 7 against the Tigers, but he'll look to continue the success he's enjoyed thus far, allowing three or fewer earned runs in each of his six starts this season. Given the current state of the Rangers' rotation, there is no reason to believe he won't take the ball every fifth game moving forward.
