Michael Helman Michael Helman Outrighted to Triple-A Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 4:35 PM The Rangers outrighted Helman to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday. Analysis: He's lost his spot on the 40-man roster but will remain in the organization as utility depth. Helman has slashed .217/.277/.419 in limited duty with the Rangers over the past two seasons.
Jose Butto Jose Butto Lands with Rangers Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 3:57 PM The Rangers claimed Butto (arm) off waivers from the Giants on Monday. Analysis: Butto missed nearly all of this past season while recovering from two surgeries to address a blood clot and artery in his right arm. It's unclear where the right-handed reliever is at in his rehab. Butto holds a career 3.76 ERA and 185:99 K:BB over 189 innings at the big-league level.
Evan Carter Evan Carter Undergoes hip surgery Mon, Nov 2, 2026, 2:28 PM Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young said Monday that Carter will not be ready for Opening Day next season after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right hip last week to address a labral injury and a hip impingement, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports. Analysis: Per Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News, Young added of Carter that the Rangers "expect him to play" most of next season, though it's uncertain how long exactly he'll be out. It's also unclear how long Carter has had the hip issue or if it's related to his chronic back problems. The 24-year-old outfielder slashed .194/.288/.315 with nine home runs and 17 stolen bases over 141 games for the Rangers this season.
Added to 40-man Fri, Oct 30, 2026, 8:54 PM The Rangers selected Curry's contract from Double-A Frisco on Friday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports. Analysis: Curry pitched at three different levels this season and finished with a 5.02 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 104 total innings. The 24-year-old righty is no longer eligible to be selected in the Rule 5 Draft now that he's captured a 40-man spot, and he'll likely have a chance to capture a spot in Texas' Opening Day bullpen during spring training.
Working out in outfield Wed, Oct 21, 2026, 8:32 AM Walcott has been going through drills in the outfield and aims to start a game there before the end of the Arizona Fall League, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports. Analysis: Shortstop is Walcott's primary position, and he's also seen some action at third base. He's never played the outfield in pro ball, but it would offer an alternate path to playing time if the Rangers keep Corey Seager at shortstop. Walcott missed much of the 2026 season while recovering from internal brace surgery, but he slashed .325/.401/.590 in 41 games after returning and is hitting .259/.333/.444 in his first seven AFL contests. The top prospect will not turn 21 until March, but Walcott is expected to debut in 2027, and perhaps sooner rather than later.
Danny Jansen Danny Jansen Undergoes minor hand operation Fri, Oct 9, 2026, 3:22 PM Jansen underwent surgery Wednesday to remove a bone growth from his right hand, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports. Analysis: It's a minor operation that's not expected to affect Jansen's offseason workouts. Jansen slashed .203/.296/.381 with eight home runs over 67 games for the Rangers this season. As things stand currently, the 31-year-old Jansen seems likely to open the 2027 campaign as the Rangers' top catcher.
Josh Jung Josh Jung Avoids hand surgery Fri, Oct 9, 2026, 2:27 PM Jung is does not need surgery to repair the non-displaced fracture in his right hand, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports. Analysis: He suffered the injury during the final weekend of the regular season when he was hit by a pitch. Jung will be re-evaluated every two weeks to track his progress, per Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com, but the belief is the hand will heal without surgical intervention. Jung had another injury-shortened season in 2026 but was productive when on the field, slashing .299/.365/.462 with 12 homers in 104 games.
Corey Seager Corey Seager Undergoes minor elbow surgery Fri, Oct 9, 2026, 2:21 PM Seager underwent surgery Tuesday to remove a bone spur from his right elbow, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports. Analysis: Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young noted following the conclusion of the regular season that Seager could require an operation after battling through the elbow issue for months, and that's indeed what's happened. While the Rangers might ease Seager into things at the start of spring training, he should be fine for Opening Day. The 32-year-old shortstop had arguably his worst season in 2026, slashing .227/.312/.424 with 20 home runs in 102 games.
Back from IL Mon, Sep 28, 2026, 10:17 PM Osorio (undisclosed) was activated from the 7-day injured list Sept. 21. Analysis: Osorio landed on the 7-day IL on July 24 due to an undisclosed injury and missed the remainder of the 2026 campaign, though it appears he's healthy heading into the offseason. He began the year at Single-A Hickory before finishing the season at High-A Hub City, where he slashed .275/.370/.489 with eight home runs, 22 RBI and 23 runs in 34 games.
Corey Seager Corey Seager Might require minor elbow surgery Mon, Sep 28, 2026, 5:00 PM Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young said Monday that Seager could require minor offseason surgery for a bone spur in his elbow "that he's dealt with for a few months," Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports. Analysis: It's not a given that Seager will choose the surgical route, but if he does, the expectation is that he will be fully recovered in time for the start of spring training. Injuries limited Seager to 102 games for the second season in a row, and he regressed at the plate year-over-year, finishing with a .227/.312/.424 batting line with 20 home runs during the 2026 campaign.
Corey Seager Corey Seager Reaches 20 homers in finale Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 5:34 PM Seager went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Twins. Analysis: Seager went deep in his final at-bat of the year to reach at least 20 home runs for the fifth straight campaign. The shortstop posted an .804 OPS with 10 homers in 51 second-half games after entering the All-Star break with a lowly .666 mark. Overall, he'll wrap up his 12th major-league season slashing a disappointing .227/.312/.424 with 20 long balls, 51 RBI, 57 runs scored and two steals across 436 plate appearances.
MacKenzie Gore MacKenzie Gore Early hook in finale Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 5:18 PM Gore did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Twins, allowing one run on one hit and one walk over 2.1 innings. He did not record a strikeout. Analysis: Gore started a major-league-leading 34th game but did not last long, throwing 15 of 25 pitches for strikes and departing with one out in the third inning. It's unclear if the southpaw was injured Sunday, but he'll finish the campaign having completed five frames in only five of his final seven outings. He'll conclude his first season in Texas with a 4.58 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 174:71 K:BB across a career-high 173 innings.
Logan O'Hoppe Logan O'Hoppe Optioned by Texas Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 12:50 PM O'Hoppe was optioned to the ACL Rangers on Sunday. Analysis: The move corresponds with the Rangers recalling utility man Cam Cauley from Triple-A Round Rock. O'Hoppe has appeared in 10 games for the Rangers since being acquired from the Angels in late July, going 6-for-17 with an RBI and five runs scored with Texas.
Cam Cauley Cam Cauley Called up by Texas Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 12:48 PM The Rangers recalled Cauley from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday. Analysis: Cauley will provide the Rangers with infield depth for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Twins, with catcher Logan O'Hoppe being optioned in a corresponding move. Cauley has appeared in 34 major-league games this season and has a .626 OPS with one steal and a solo home run across 65 plate appearances.
Nathan Eovaldi Nathan Eovaldi Effective in return to rotation Sat, Sep 26, 2026, 8:45 PM Eovaldi took a no-decision Saturday against the Twins, striking out three while allowing one run on four hits and two walks in 4.1 innings. Analysis: Eovaldi made his first start since returning from the injured list in mid-September, ending the season on a positive note. The veteran right-hander has one more year left on his deal with the Rangers, and he figures to rejoin the rotation in 2027 following a disappointing campaign. After recording a career-best 1.73 ERA and 0.85 WHIP in 2025, Eovaldi worked to a 4.20 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 144:35 K:BB over 145.2 innings in 2026.
MacKenzie Gore MacKenzie Gore Confirmed starter Sunday Sat, Sep 26, 2026, 8:40 PM Gore is scheduled to start in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Twins. Analysis: Gore will toe the rubber for Sunday's regular-season finale as the Rangers look to outlast the Astros for the AL West division crown to secure a spot in the playoffs. The 27-year-old southpaw made his last appearance Tuesday in a no-decision against the Mets, and Gore has a 4.59 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across a career-high 170.2 innings this season.
Nicky Lopez Nicky Lopez Leaves Saturday's game Sat, Sep 26, 2026, 6:21 PM Lopez (ankle/heel) was removed from Saturday's game against the Twins, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports. Analysis: Per Wilson, Lopez tweaked his left ankle/heel while trying to beat out a bunt at the top of the third inning, and he initially stayed in defensively before being replaced by Cody Freeman in the fourth. The Rangers should have an update on Lopez's status for Sunday's game once the veteran infielder undergoes more tests.
Gavin Collyer Gavin Collyer Optioned to minors Sat, Sep 26, 2026, 1:46 PM The Rangers optioned Collyer to the Arizona Complex League on Saturday. Analysis: Collyer gave up two earned runs in two innings during Friday's contest and will now be pushed out of Texas' bullpen in favor of Robby Ahlstrom, who will give the team another fresh arm to work with.
Robby Ahlstrom Robby Ahlstrom Up from Triple-A Sat, Sep 26, 2026, 1:44 PM The Rangers recalled Ahlstrom from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday. Analysis: The 27-year-old will provide the Rangers with another fresh bullpen arm to work with, replacing Gavin Collyer. Ahlstrom has recorded a 6.08 ERA and 1.43 WHIP over 37 innings with the Rangers this year and will likely be limited to middle-relief duty.
Logan O'Hoppe Logan O'Hoppe Up from Round Rock Sat, Sep 26, 2026, 1:42 PM The Rangers recalled O'Hoppe from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday. Analysis: O'Hoppe will rejoin the Rangers for the final weekend of the regular season to give the team a bat to replace Josh Jung, who landed on the IL with a fractured hand Saturday. O'Hoppe has posted just a .578 OPS in 274 plate appearances in the big leagues this year and isn't likely to see much playing time to close out the season.
