Top Rangers News

  • Rangers' Josh Sborz: Completes side session

    Sborz (shoulder) tossed a bullpen session Saturday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

    The 32-year-old righty looks to be healthy for the start of spring training after he was limited to just a handful of minor-league rehab appearances during the 2025 season after undergoing surgery on his throwing shoulder in November 2024. After the Rangers non-tendered him in November, Sborz re-signed with the organization on a minor-league deal in January and will need to show during Cactus League play that he's regained his pre-surgery velocity and command in order to make a serious run at a spot in Texas' Opening Day bullpen.

  • Rangers' Josh Smith: Preparing to play second base

    Smith confirmed Sunday that he's preparing to play second base on a more regular basis in 2026 following the offseason trade of Marcus Semien to the Mets, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

    Smith finished second on the Rangers with 563 plate appearances a season ago, but he didn't have a set home at any one position. The 28-year-old essentially served as a full-time super-utility player who filled in at spots when injuries dictated, logging 46 starts at shortstop, 28 at third base, 23 at first base, 14 in the outfield, 10 at designated hitter and three at second base. He should head into 2026 with eligibility at shortstop, third base and first base in most fantasy leagues, but expect Smith to be usable at the keystone quickly with Semien's departure creating a permanent void at that spot. The Rangers could look to deploy the left-handed-hitting Smith in the strong side of a platoon at second base; he slashed just .206/.277/.224 (47 wRC+) in 121 plate appearances against lefties last season.

  • Rangers' Mark Canha: Joins Texas on camp deal

    Canha signed Sunday with the Rangers on a minor-league contract that includes an invitation to major-league spring training.

    The 37-year-old first baseman/outfielder will compete for a spot on the Opening Day roster this spring, with a strong performance in the Cactus League perhaps being his ticketed to securing a short-side platoon role with Texas. Before being cut loose by the Royals in August, Canha saw action in 46 games for Kansas City last season, slashing .212/.272/.265 with one home run and six RBI across 125 plate appearances.

  • Rangers' Zak Kent: Cleared from 40-man roster

    The Rangers designated Kent for assignment Friday.

    The transaction frees up a spot on the 40-man roster for the signing of Jordan Montgomery (elbow). Kent was a waiver claim of the Rangers in January and could be on the move again. The right-hander posted a 4.58 ERA and 16:8 K:BB over 17.2 regular-season innings with the Guardians last season.

  • Rangers' Izack Tiger: Delayed by elbow setback

    Tiger suffered a minor setback with his rehab from an internal brace surgery and is not scheduled to face hitters until the end of spring training, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Tiger missed all of last season following the September 2024 surgery. The 25-year-old was not going to make the Opening Day roster, as he's yet to advance past High-A and is coming off a lost campaign, and it's far from ideal that his development has been further delayed.

  • Rangers' Nabil Crismatt: Undergoing UCL surgery

    Crismatt will undergo surgery to repair a torn UCL in his right elbow, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    It had been previously reported that Crismatt needed elbow surgery, and now it's been revealed that it will be a season-ending UCL repair. Whether he requires a full Tommy John surgery or something less invasive won't be known until the operation. Crismatt had been in Rangers camp on a minor-league contract.

  • Rangers' Nabil Crismatt: Requires elbow surgery

    Crismatt needs right elbow surgery and will be sidelined indefinitely, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

    It's unclear what specific procedure Crismatt requires, but even a minor one will likely sidelined him for a least a few months. The right-hander is in Rangers camp as a non-roster invitee. If Crismatt is able to make it back later this season, he'll likely pitch at Triple-A Round Rock.

  • Rangers' Sebastian Walcott: Out for 2026 after elbow surgery

    Walcott will undergo UCL surgery on his right elbow and will miss most, if not all, of the 2026 season, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

    The hope is that Walcott needs internal brace surgery rather than a full Tommy John repair, but the Rangers won't know until he has the procedure in a few days. The former would give him a slight chance to return late in the season. Slated to turn 20 in March, Walcott is one of the game's elite prospects and could have pushed for a major-league debut this season. He slashed .255/.355/.386 with 13 home runs and 32 stolen bases over 124 games in 2025 at Double-A Frisco as a 19-year-old.

  • Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Reports to camp in full health

    Eovaldi (hernia) reported to camp healthy and threw his first bullpen session Tuesday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

    Eovaldi was shut down last season in August and eventually underwent surgery during the offseason to address a sports hernia issue. He said he'd been dealing with the hernia since 2024, but it never affected his pitching. Eovaldi had an impressive 1.73 ERA over 22 starts in 2025, his fourth consecutive season with fewer than 30 starts. The right-hander turns 36 this spring, and manager Skip Schumaker is planning a slow build-up for Eovaldi, similar to how the club handled Jacob deGrom in 2025.

  • Rangers' Ben Abeldt: Hoping to make pro debut in April

    Abeldt (elbow) said Wednesday that he resumed throwing off a mound three weeks ago and is hopeful to make his season debut at some point in late April, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

    A fifth-round pick out of TCU in the 2025 First-Year Player Draft, Abeldt is still waiting to make his professional debut after he was sidelined last summer while on the mend from internal brace surgery on his left elbow. The 22-year-old has made good progress in his rehab program during the ensuing months and looks on pace to start facing hitters at some point before the end of spring training. He'll likely report to Single-A Hickory once he's cleared for game action.

  • Rangers' MacKenzie Gore: Opens camp with bullpen session

    Gore (ankle) was seen throwing a bullpen session Wednesday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

    Gore wasn't expected to be entering spring training with any restrictions after a minor right ankle impingement kept him out of action for the final week of the 2025 season, but his ability to throw a side session on the second day of camp confirms he's healthy. Acquired in a January deal that sent five prospects to Washington, Gore is likely penciled in as the Rangers' No. 3 starter behind Jacob deGrom and Nathan Eovaldi (core).

  • Rangers' Emiliano Teodo: Behind schedule with back issue

    Teodo will be about 2-to-3 weeks behind schedule in spring training after dealing with a back injury last season, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

    Teodo missed more than two months of action during the middle of the 2025 minor-league season because of a back problem. He finished the season healthy, but the Rangers don't want to push him early on in camp. Teodo made a full-time move to a relief role in 2025, posting a 9.00 ERA and 23:17 K:BB over 18 innings during his time with Triple-A Round Rock.

  • Rangers' Marc Church: Nursing lat strain

    Church will be behind schedule to begin spring training while he recovers from a right lat strain, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

    Church dealt with lat issues for a large portion of the 2025 campaign, as well. The expectation is that he will be ready to throw off a mound again sometime in March, but Church's status for Opening Day is uncertain. Church has some of the best upside out of anyone in the Rangers' shaky bullpen, but he'll have to get healthy first.

  • Rangers' Alexis Diaz: Has chance at closer job

    Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said Wednesday that Diaz has a chance to see saves for the club this season, but the manager wants to see how the former Reds closer looks in spring training games first, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

    Schumaker listed Robert Garcia and Chris Martin as the initial favorites to close games, but he left the door open for Diaz. The 29-year-old righty notched 75 saves for Cincinnati from 2022-24, but he fell apart in 2025, posting an 8.15 ERA and 1.53 WHIP over 17.2 innings between three different teams. It's a good opportunity for Diaz to re-establish himself on a team lacking bullpen clarity, but he has a lot to prove before fantasy managers can trust him again.

  • Rangers' Chris Martin: Could see save opportunities

    Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said Wednesday that Robert Garcia and Martin are the favorites to see save chances for the team this season, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

    After mulling retirement, Martin re-signed with the Rangers in December on a one-year, $4 million contract. He'll turn 40 in June but has remained highly effective, having logged a 2.98 ERA and 43:8 K:BB over 42.1 frames in 2025 while notching two saves. Martin finished last season on the injured list with an undisclosed injury but enters spring training without limitations.

  • Rangers' Robert Garcia: In mix to close with Martin

    Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said Wednesday that Garcia and Chris Martin are the favorites to see the bulk of the team's save chances this season, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

    Schumaker also noted that Alexis Diaz could work his way into the mix, but he wants to see how the former Reds closer looks in spring training games first. Garcia finished in a three-way tie for the team lead with nine saves last season, and the other two, Shawn Armstrong and Luke Jackson, are no longer with the club. Garcia collected a 2.95 ERA and 68:22 K:BB across 64.0 frames in 2025 during his first season with Texas.

  • Rangers' Jordan Montgomery: Inks one-year deal with Rangers

    The Rangers signed Montgomery (elbow) to a one-year, $1.25 million contract Wednesday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Montgomery had a hybrid UCL reconstruction last March but hopes to be major-league ready around the All-Star break. The 33-year-old had a disastrous 2024 season with the Diamondbacks after signing late in spring training, posting a 6.23 ERA over 25 appearances. He was terrific in 2023, however, which included starring for the Rangers down the stretch of the regular season and their run to the World Series. The two sides are hoping to recapture some of that magic in 2026.

  • Rangers' Cody Bradford: Working in changeups

    Bradford (elbow) will incorporate 8-to-10 changeups into his bullpen session Tuesday, which will be his first session that's not all fastballs, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

    It's the left-hander's seventh bullpen session as he continues to ramp up his throwing program after undergoing an internal brace procedure in June. Bradford is targeting May for his season debut, and he could begin a rehab assignment sometime around Opening Day in late March.

  • Rangers' Kumar Rocker: Competing for rotation spot

    Rocker enters spring training as a competitor for a spot in the starting rotation, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

    Rocker broke camp last season in the rotation but experienced an injury and mechanical issues on his way to a 5.74 ERA across 64.1 innings. The 26-year-old right-hander was eventually optioned to Triple-A Round Rock in August and shut down shortly thereafter to refine his mechanics. "Kumar is in a really good spot," Rangers general manager Ross Fenstermaker said. "I think last offseason, maybe, he got away from some things that he needed to do to have success. This offseason, he's gotten back to those things." The organization's acquisition of MacKenzie Gore left one rotation spot available, with Rocker and Jacob Latz viewed as the primary candidates.

  • Rangers' Jack Leiter: Rotation spot safe

    Leiter likely has a secure spot in the starting rotation and will not be part of a competition this spring, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

    As recently as two weeks ago, Leiter was viewed as part of a crew competing for two available spots in the rotation. The right-hander, who is entering his second full season with the club, will join Jacob deGrom, Nathan Eovaldi and newly acquired MacKenzie Gore in the Opening Day rotation. Leiter had some rocky stretches early in 2025 but showed improvement over the second half, when he posted a 3.28 ERA and dropped his walk rate to 3.66 BB/9 from 4.4 prior to the All-Star break.
