Right handed pitcher Scott Feldman, who cleared outright waivers, rejected his Minor League assignment and will be activated tonight according to Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News.

To make room for Feldman, the Rangers optioned Darren O’Day and designated Zachary Phillips for assignment reports Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.

Feldman was placed on outright waivers yesterday. He made his final rehab start on Sunday and was 3-1 with a 4.03 ERA in his rehab stint at Triple-A (he’s coming off microfracture knee surgery).

He’s set to make $4.4 million this season, $6.5 million in 2012 with a $9.25 option for 2013.
