Jacob Latz Jacob Latz Slams door for 19th save
Sat, Jul 18, 2026, 9:59 PM
Latz secured the save Saturday against Atlanta, throwing 1.1 clean innings. He struck out one.
Analysis: After beginning the year as a starter and then a setup man, Latz continues to run away with Texas' closing gig. The 30-year-old southpaw has successfully converted 14 consecutive save opportunities, also turning in six straight scoreless outings. Through 46 innings, Latz owns a 1.57 ERA, 0.65 WHIP and 47:11 K:BB with 19 saves in 21 attempts. |

MacKenzie Gore MacKenzie Gore Wild in sixth win
Sat, Jul 18, 2026, 9:43 PM
Gore (6-6) earned the win Saturday against Atlanta, allowing five runs on six hits and one walk in 5.2 innings. He struck out seven.
Analysis: Gore hardly pitched well enough to deserve the victory, notably hitting three batters Saturday, but he received plenty of run support to get him off the hook. Although the 27-year-old southpaw has registered seven punchouts in three of his past four outings, he's given up at least five runs in each of those starts. Gore is putting together something of a bizarre campaign, holding a career-worst 4.80 ERA in spite of a career-best .236 opponent batting average as well as an exceptional 122:42 K:BB across 110.2 innings. |

Analysis: Eovaldi picked up an illness during the All-Star break, but it no longer seems like he's at risk of missing any starts.

Cody Bradford Cody Bradford Making rehab start Saturday
Sat, Jul 18, 2026, 1:26 PM
Bradford (elbow) will continue his rehab assignment and start Saturday for Double-A Frisco, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Bradford will make his second start for Frisco after resuming his rehab assignment Tuesday. The left-hander threw just 21 pitches in one inning of work in his previous start, giving up one run on no hits and two walks. It is expected that Bradford will up his pitch count on Saturday as Texas wants to continue to stretch out the 28-year-old in order to get him back in the big-league rotation once his 30-day rehab window ends. |

Analysis: Montgomery will make his sixth overall rehab start, his fourth with Round Rock. Through his first five starts, the 33-year-old has posted a remarkable 2.25 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 11:0 K:BB through 12 innings.

Sat, Jul 18, 2026, 12:35 PM
Texas optioned Collyer to Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.
Analysis: After a rocky appearance Friday, Collyer will make his way back to Triple-A having made five appearances during his latest stint with the big-league club.

Leiter (ankle) threw a bullpen session during the All-Star break, MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Following the bullpen session, Leiter continued to throw off flat ground in Atlanta, where the Rangers kicked off a three-game set Friday. The arm feels good, but the report indicates the right-hander may not be back until late in the season. |

Jakob Junis Jakob Junis Expected back Saturday
Fri, Jul 17, 2026, 10:36 PM
The Rangers are expected to reinstate Junis (hip) from the injured list ahead of Saturday's game against Atlanta, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Junis hasn't pitched since June 29 because of a right hip impingement, but he was with the team during Friday's loss and is now set to rejoin the bullpen Saturday without first heading out on a rehab assignment. The 33-year-old has been one of the most reliable members of Texas' pitching staff this season, posting a 2.80 ERA and 1.02 WHIP across 35.1 innings. He figures to resume working as a setup man for closer Jacob Latz. |

Cal Quantrill Cal Quantrill Roughed up by Atlanta
Fri, Jul 17, 2026, 9:31 PM
Quantrill (3-2) took the loss against Atlanta on Friday, allowing six runs on 11 hits and one walk while striking out three across four innings.
Analysis: Quantrill got out of the first inning unscathed after giving up two baserunners, but that's where the good news ended for the veteran right-hander. He gave up at least two runs in three of the next four frames, with four of those runs coming on two homers in the fourth inning. It was the most runs Quantrill gave up in a game since Aug. 28, 2025 against the Phillies, when he yielded nine runs across 3.1 innings. He sits at a 3.93 ERA and 1.29 WHIP across 50.1 innings this season. Quantrill is lined up to make his next start next week at home against the White Sox, which could be his last turn in the rotation if Jordan Montgomery (elbow) is cleared to be reinstated from the 60-day injured list. |

Nathan Eovaldi Nathan Eovaldi Under the weather
Fri, Jul 17, 2026, 5:25 PM
Eovaldi is dealing with an illness but is lined up to start against Atlanta on Sunday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: It looks like Eovaldi picked something up over the All-Star break, but he may not end up missing significant time as long as he's cleared to start in Sunday's series finale. The veteran right-hander posted a 9-7 record across 18 starts in the first half of the regular season, along with a 4.04 ERA, 1.18 WHIP and 120:26 K:BB across 111.1 innings. |

Jacob deGrom Jacob deGrom Likely to return against White Sox
Fri, Jul 17, 2026, 5:23 PM
DeGrom (glute) will throw a bullpen session Saturday and will likely make his next start during the Rangers' home series against the White Sox that begins Monday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Landry initially reported Thursday that deGrom was lined up to face Atlanta on Sunday, but it looks like the veteran right-hander needs a little bit more time to recover. He is dealing with a mild left glute strain that he picked up prior to the All-Star break, but the injury is not severe enough for him to require a stint on the injured list. |

Corey Seager Corey Seager Progresses to running
Fri, Jul 17, 2026, 3:02 PM
Seager (back) is doing some light running on the field ahead of Friday's game against Atlanta, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Seager has played just four games since June 11 due to concussion and back issues, and he's still recovering from lower-back inflammation. It's been an extremely disappointing season for the 32-year-old, who is slashing just .182/.292/.374 with 10 homers, 25 RBI, 28 runs scored, one stolen base and a 28:59 BB:K across 219 trips to the plate. |

Jacob deGrom Jacob deGrom Tentatively lined up for Sunday
Thu, Jul 16, 2026, 1:01 PM
DeGrom (glute) appears tentatively lined up to start Sunday's game in Atlanta, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: DeGrom had to be scratched from his final scheduled start of the first half due to a mild left glute strain. He planned to play catch over the All-Star break before likely throwing a bullpen session this weekend. As long as he gets through that mound session without any hiccups, deGrom is likely to take the ball Sunday in the series finale. If deGrom needs a little more time, the Rangers could push him back to start during next week's home series versus the White Sox. |

On rehab assignment
Thu, Jul 16, 2026, 8:39 AM
Walcott (elbow) began a rehab assignment at the rookie-level Arizona Complex League on Tuesday and has gone 3-for-6 with one home run and one stolen base.
Analysis: Working his way back from internal brace surgery on his right elbow, Walcott has been used in the designated-hitter spot in his first two rehab games. He's been playing catch, but it's not clear when he will be ready to play the field in games. Walcott finished the 2025 season at Double-A Frisco and will either return to that level or move up to Triple-A Round Rock as his rehab advances. |

Back in action after TJ surgery
Mon, Jul 13, 2026, 2:05 PM
McConnaughey (elbow) has produced a 1.35 ERA, 0.97 WHIP and 7:2 K:BB in 6.2 innings through his first three appearances in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League.
Analysis: The No. 115 overall pick in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft, McConnaughey didn't make his professional debut until June 26 of this year while he completed his recovery from Tommy John surgery, which he underwent the previous spring. The 22-year-old righty has looked sharp thus far in the ACL and could move up to Single-A Hickory shortly after the All-Star break. |

Elbow surgery on tap
Mon, Jul 13, 2026, 2:00 PM
Bumila is scheduled to undergo surgery on his left elbow later this week and is expected to miss the entire 2026 season, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Analysis: Bumila already underwent an internal brace procedure in May 2025 before suffering a setback with his elbow during the spring that will ultimately necessitate a second operation, but that didn't deter the Rangers from selecting the 18-year-old lefty in the third round of the 2026 First-Year Player Draft. Checking in at 6-foot-9 and 225 pounds, Bumila boasts a power arsenal to match his towering frame, as his fastball touched 101 mph this spring before he was shut down with the elbow injury. Until Bumila meets with Dr. Keith Meister later this week, it won't be known whether the southpaw will require another internal brace procedure or Tommy John surgery. Either way, the Rangers won't be counting on Bumila to make his pro debut until the 2028 season. |
