Jordan Montgomery Jordan Montgomery Candidate for rotation
Wed, Aug 12, 2026, 6:58 AM
Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said Tuesday that Montgomery is considered as a possible replacement for Nathan Eovaldi (elbow) in the rotation, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Analysis: Montgomery returned from the 60-day injured list last week and tossed four innings and 79 pitches in relief Sunday against the Orioles in his Rangers debut. At the time Montgomery was activated, manager Skip Schumaker said the left-hander would be used out of the bullpen, but circumstances have changed with Eovaldi landing on the shelf Monday. Cal Quantrill is another option to replace Eovaldi. |

Jakob Junis Jakob Junis Completes bullpen session
Tue, Aug 11, 2026, 7:53 PM
Junis (adductor) completed a bullpen session Tuesday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: Junis was able to throw roughly 20 pitches during Tuesday's session, and he announced that he will throw another bullpen Thursday. The team is expected to reassess the right-hander's status after Thursday, as he continues to work his way back from a left adductor strain that has sidelined him since July 30. Junis is eligible to be activated from the 15-day injured list Thursday, but a return in late August now appears to be a more realistic goal. |

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. |

Mon, Aug 10, 2026, 5:31 PM

Nathan Eovaldi Nathan Eovaldi Goes on IL with elbow inflammation
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 has also struggled at the plate recently, having gone 1-for-22 with two RBI and seven strikeouts over his last eight outings. |

It was the 13th homer of the season and third this month for Nimmo, who is enjoying a productive beginning of August.

Gonzales re-signed Friday with the Rangers on a minor-league contract.
Analysis: Gonzales will report to Triple-A Round Rock after coming to terms on a new deal with Texas just five days after electing free agency.

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. |
