Joshua Matthew Rupe (born August 18, 1982 in Portsmouth, Virginia) is a Major League Baseball pitcher for the Texas Rangers. Rupe was acquired by the Rangers in a trade for Carl Everett with the Chicago White Sox. He made his Major League debut on September 16, 2005 in a game against the Seattle Mariners.
Early in the 2006 season, Rupe was placed on the 60-day disabled list due to an inflamed left elbow. Upon his recovery, he spent time rehabing with the Triple-A Oklahoma RedHawks. He was recalled to the Rangers on July 28, 2006 [1], and finished the season working out of the bullpen in a middle relief role.
Rupe failed to make the big league roster to start the 2007 season, and was optioned to the RedHawks.
