Josh Jung Josh Jung Yet to resume baseball activities
Mon, Aug 10, 2026, 6:58 PM
Jung (calf) hasn't participated in baseball activities in over a week, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: The team reported last Wednesday that Jung would miss at least another 10 days, though the fact that he's yet to be cleared to resume baseball activities presumably means he's in store for a lengthier absence. He was placed on the 10-day injured list July 25 with a left calf strain and has done some running, but not much else to this point. |

Analysis: Peoples was just optioned this past weekend, but he's back to grab the roster spot vacated by the injured Nathan Eovaldi (elbow). The righty reliever has permitted three runs with a 6:3 K:BB over 12.1 frames during his time with the Rangers this season. |

Mon, Aug 10, 2026, 5:28 PM
The Rangers placed Eovaldi on the 15-day injured list Monday with right posterior elbow inflammation.
Analysis: There's no word yet on how much time Eovaldi might miss, but if there's a silver lining it's that the elbow injury is not related to his UCL. Eovaldi has been slated to start Wednesday's game against the Angels, but the Rangers will likely turn to Cal Quantrill to make that start. |

Mon, Aug 10, 2026, 5:21 PM
Carter is not in the Rangers' starting lineup against the Angels on Monday.
Analysis: The Rangers are facing a southpaw for a second consecutive game, so Carter will be out of the lineup against while the Rangers start Ezequiel Duran, Wyatt Langford and Brandon Nimmo in the outfield from left to right. Carter has also struggled at the plate recently, having gone 1-for-22 with two RBI and seven strikeouts over his last eight outings. |

Analysis: The Rangers were chasing early, down 5-0 after two innings, when Nimmo narrowed the deficit to two with a homer off Cade Povich. It was the 13th homer of the season and third this month for Nimmo, who is enjoying a productive beginning of August.

Danny Jansen Danny Jansen Set to begin rehab assignment
Sun, Aug 9, 2026, 5:18 PM
Jansen (forearm) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Double-A Frisco on Tuesday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Analysis: Jansen has been sidelined since early June while recovering from a right forearm injury, but he's all set to return to game action this week. The catcher was eligible to be activated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday, so whenever the team feels like he has shaken off the rust and gotten back up to speed, he'll be able to return to the major-league roster. Considering how long he's been out, it wouldn't be a surprise if he requires a lengthy rehab assignment, but a return to the Rangers before the end of August appears likely. |

Jack Leiter Jack Leiter Shifts to 60-day IL
Sun, Aug 9, 2026, 11:55 AM
The Rangers transferred Leiter (ankle) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.
Analysis: The right-hander has been on the shelf since mid-June, so the move to the 60-day IL isn't expected to affect his return timeline. Leiter threw 33 pitches over two innings of live batting practice Saturday and is set to throw a bullpen session Monday, per Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News. According to Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com, if Monday's side session goes well, Leiter will begin a rehab assignment at Double-A Frisco on Thursday and will be slated to throw 2-to-3 innings. |

The 30-year-old struggled to a .435 OPS in 45 games between Miami and Minnesota last season, but he's enjoyed a productive campaign at Round Rock with 10 home runs, nine steals and a .284/.404/.428 slash line in 431 plate appearances. |

Jacob deGrom Jacob deGrom Rebounds in eighth win
Sat, Aug 8, 2026, 9:59 PM
DeGrom (8-7) notched the win against the Orioles on Saturday, allowing one run on three hits and one walk in five innings. He struck out nine.
Analysis: Jackson Holliday tagged deGrom for a solo shot in the opening inning, but that was all Baltimore would muster on the scoreboard Saturday. The nine strikeouts were the star right-hander's most since June 30 in Cleveland, and it was an encouraging bounce-back performance after he gave up seven hits in each of his prior three outings. DeGrom will bring a career-worst 3.87 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 144:30 K:BB over 118.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance in Anaheim against the division-rival Angels. |

Sat, Aug 8, 2026, 3:31 PM
Junis (adductor) threw out to 90 feet Friday and expects to toss a bullpen session Monday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Junis landed on the 15-day injured list July 30 due to a left adductor strain. The fact that he's throwing suggests that the issue isn't severe, and Junis has said that he's hoping for a quick recovery. However, it's unclear at this point if he'll be ready to return when first eligible Aug. 13. |
