The Rangers selected Church to their 40-man roster Tuesday.
Church registered a 3.63 ERA and 79:38 K:BB over 62 innings this past season between Double-A Frisco and Triple-A Round Rock. The 22-year-old relief prospect is now protected from next month's Rule 5 Draft and could make his major-league debut at some point in 2024.
