The Rangers confirmed the signing after Padilla passed his physical, keeping the 29-year-old Nicaragua native in Texas.

"It's exciting to have Vicente back in the fold for the next two years," Texas general manager Jon Daniels said.

"He was a horse for us (this) year and demonstrated he can pitch and win in our park."
