Jacob deGrom Jacob deGrom Departs start with triceps fatigue
Thu, Aug 13, 2026, 10:15 PM
DeGrom was removed from Thursday's game against the Angels after just two innings due to right triceps fatigue, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analysis: DeGrom needed 32 pitches to make it through the second inning, a frame in which he allowed two runs on five hits. In total, deGrom tossed 53 pitches across his two innings, surrendering the two runs on six hits and one walk with three strikeouts prior to his departure. It doesn't sound like a serious issue for the right-hander, but he'll likely undergo further testing ahead of next week's scheduled start against the Nationals. |

The Rangers outrighted Bride to Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Leandro Lopez Leandro Lopez Makes return to Frisco
Thu, Aug 13, 2026, 12:33 PM
Lopez (shoulder) struck out four and allowed one hit and no walks over two scoreless innings in relief for Double-A Frisco on Wednesday after being reinstated from the 7-day injured list Tuesday.
Analysis: Lopez began the season as a member of the Frisco rotation, delivering a 7.20 ERA, 1.97 WHIP and 42:22 K:BB in 35 innings over eight starts before hitting the shelf May 27 due to right shoulder fatigue. The 24-year-old right-hander didn't require a rehab assignment prior to being activated, but Frisco may have elected to deploy him in relief for his first appearance in more than two months as a means of easing him back in while he builds up his pitch count. Lopez possesses a spot on the Rangers' 40-man roster, but he doesn't appear to be on the radar for a September call-up. |

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

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. |

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. |
