Ban expected to end for Dominican hurlers Beltre, Ogando

Pitching prospects Omar Beltre and Alexi Ogando could be joining the Rangers for Spring Training in Arizona after a five-year banishment from the United States because of their roles in human trafficking and visa fraud scandals in the Dominican Republic.

The Rangers have been told that the United States State Department has removed all restraints that have kept the pitchers from leaving the Dominican Republic and has provided them with a waiver that will allow them to apply for a visa. That is the same last step that all Dominican players must take before Spring Training and is considered routine.
