MacKenzie Gore MacKenzie Gore Pitches well in loss
Wed, Jul 29, 2026, 9:10 PM
Gore (6-9) allowed three runs on three hits and no walks while striking out nine over seven innings to take the loss Wednesday versus the Rays.
Analysis: Gore did not allow a hit for 6.2 innings after giving up two home runs in the first inning, but the Rangers offense did not give him any run support to back up this great start. This is Gore's longest outing since June 25, where he also went seven, and the second game this season where he has gone six or more innings without giving up a walk. The 27-year-old's next outing is scheduled to come against the Giants at home. |

Jose Corniell Jose Corniell Transferred to 60-day IL
Wed, Jul 29, 2026, 8:56 PM
The Rangers transferred Corniell (elbow) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.
Analysis: A right flexor strain sent Corniell to the injured list July 21, and he'll now be ineligible to pitch until Sept. 19 after moving to the 60-day IL. The move will free up a spot on the 40-man roster for Chase Silseth, whom the Rangers acquired in a trade with the Angels on Wednesday. |

Danny Jansen Danny Jansen Shifts to 60-day IL
Wed, Jul 29, 2026, 8:53 PM
The Rangers transferred Jansen (forearm) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.
Analysis: Jansen has been on the injured list since June 6 due to a strained right forearm. His move to the 60-day IL will make him ineligible to return until Aug. 5, though he's likely to remain on the shelf beyond then after suffering a setback in his recovery last week. The Rangers traded for Logan O'Hoppe to fill the vacancy on the 40-man roster. |

Logan O'Hoppe Logan O'Hoppe Traded to Rangers, sent to Triple-A
Wed, Jul 29, 2026, 8:39 PM
The Angels traded O'Hoppe and Chase Silseth to the Rangers on Wednesday in exchange for minor-league infielder Angel Arredondo, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: O'Hoppe had been losing playing time with the Angels to Tyler Heineman, and the former will now find a new home with the Rangers, who are currently navigating injuries to Danny Jansen (forearm) and Kyle Higashioka (forearm). O'Hoppe's offensive output has taken a step back this season, as he's slashing just .209/.271/.295 with four homers, 23 RBI and 20 runs scored through 256 plate appearances, so the Rangers will send him down to Triple-A Round Rock to right the ship, per Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News. If O'Hoppe rediscovers his swing in the minors, he could be brought back up to the majors later this year. |

Chase Silseth Chase Silseth Shipped to Texas
Wed, Jul 29, 2026, 8:31 PM
The Angels traded Silseth and Logan O'Hoppe to the Rangers on Wednesday in exchange for minor-league infielder Angel Arredondo, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Silseth has enjoyed one of the best campaigns of his career this year, posting a 2.72 ERA and 48:22 K:BB over 39.2 innings with the Angels. Now with the Rangers, he's unlikely to pry the closer job away from Jacob Latz, but he should continue to work fairly often in high-leverage situations. |

Josh Smith Josh Smith Sitting against lefty bulk reliever
Wed, Jul 29, 2026, 2:46 PM
Smith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
Analysis: Right-hander Casey Legumina is opening the game for the Rays, but he's likely to work just an inning or two before left-hander Ian Seymour takes over in bulk relief. With that in mind, the Rangers will send three of their key left-handed bats in Smith, Evan Carter and Joc Pederson to the bench to begin Wednesday's contest. Smith had started in each of the Rangers' last four games, but he could be the odd man out for a regular spot in the infield when Corey Seager (back) likely makes his return from the injured list later this week. |

Evan Carter Evan Carter Idle Wednesday
Wed, Jul 29, 2026, 2:44 PM
Carter is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
Analysis: Right-hander Casey Legumina is opening the game for the Rays, but he's likely to work just an inning or two before left-hander Ian Seymour takes over in bulk relief. With that in mind, the Rangers will send three of their key left-handed bats in Carter, Joc Pederson and Josh Smith to the bench to begin Wednesday's contest. |

Joc Pederson Joc Pederson Taking seat Wednesday
Wed, Jul 29, 2026, 2:41 PM
Pederson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rays.
Analysis: Right-hander Casey Legumina is opening the contest for the Rays, but the Rangers will keep the left-handed-hitting Pederson on the bench since southpaw Ian Seymour is on track to pitch behind Legumina in bulk relief. Wyatt Langford will replace Pederson at designated hitter and atop the batting order Wednesday. |

Corey Seager Corey Seager Begins rehab with bang
Wed, Jul 29, 2026, 9:02 AM
Seager (back) started at shortstop and went 1-for-2 with a walk and a solo home run for Double-A Frisco on Tuesday.
Analysis: Seager began a rehab assignment with Frisco and gave the RoughRiders a 2-1 lead with a solo homer in the fifth inning. His night was over after five innings in the field, which is normal in a player's first rehab game. The back didn't appear to be an issue for Seager, who had to range far to his right to scoop a grounder and get the final out of the third inning, Theo DeRosa of MLB.com reports. Seager is expected to play at least one more game for Frisco, after which he could be activated. |

Quantrill (4-3) earned the win after going 5.1 innings against Tampa Bay on Tuesday, allowing one run on two hits and one walk while striking out seven.

Corey Seager Corey Seager Starting rehab assignment
Tue, Jul 28, 2026, 11:55 AM
Seager (back) is beginning a rehab assignment with Double-A Frisco on Tuesday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Analysis: The veteran shortstop progressed to "higher-volume" live batting practice the past few days, clearing the way for him to see his first game action in nearly a month due to back inflammation. Seager may not need much action in the minors before rejoining the Rangers, so he could be back from the injured list before the end of the week. |

Mon, Jul 27, 2026, 5:12 PM
Carter went 2-for-4 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Monday's 7-3 win over the Mariners.
Analysis: Carter, who made a fourth consecutive start Monday, has a steal in each of his last two games, upping his total to 13 for the season (caught once). He's provided offense during the four-start run, going 4-for-12 with two doubles, four walks, two RBI, two steals and three runs scored.

Smith started at third base and went 1-for-4 with a stolen base in Monday's 7-3 win over Seattle.
Analysis: Smith made a third consecutive start at third base, where he's filling in for the injured Josh Jung (calf). The steal was the third (caught once) over 42 games for Smith, who posted double-digit steals in each of the last two seasons. With both Jung and shortstop Corey Seager (back) on the 10-day injured list, Smith could see regular at-bats in the short term. |
