Arlington’s Elvis population has grown by one, Texas Rangers are pleased to announce

There is another Elvis in Arlington.

Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus’ wife, Cori, gave birth to their first son, Elvis Emilio, at 1:22 a.m. Thursday. Baby Elvis and Mom are doing well, the Rangers reported. Baby Elvis weighed 8.1 pounds and measured 20.5 inches.

The couple were married in a private ceremony June 1 and plan to celebrate the wedding with a big party on a beach in the Dominican Republic in November.

Andrus is on the MLB paternity list through Friday but is expected back for Saturday’s game against the Angels.

Andrus finished fourth among five finalists for the American League Final Vote, which allowed fans to vote online for the last member of each league’s All-Star team. Kansas City third baseman Mike Moustakas won the fan vote.

L.A. Dodgers third baseman Justin Turner won the NL Final Vote.

Martinez optioned

Right-hander Nick Martinez was optioned to Triple A Round Rock after Wednesday’s game. The Rangers will make a corresponding move before Friday’s series opener against the Angels at Globe Life Park.

Martinez is 3-3 with a 4.56 ERA in 14 appearances, including 11 starts, for the Rangers since being recalled April 21. Martinez has helped fill a void in the rotation while Cole Hamels and A.J. Griffin were on the disabled list. Hamels is back and Griffin is eligible to return July 26. Martinez is scheduled to start for Round Rock on Sunday.
