Rangers' Hector Osorio: On mend from injury
High-A Hub City placed Osorio on the 7-day injured list July 24 due to an unspecified injury.
Osorio made just three appearances coming out of the All-Star break before being shut down. After opening the season at Single-A Hickory, Osorio has continued to produce at a high level since getting bumped up to the South Atlantic League on June 9. Over 34 games at Hub City, the 21-year-old outfielder from Venezuela has slashed .275/.370/.489 with eight home runs.

Rangers' Paxton Kling: Returns to health
Kling (wrist) has gone 6-for-30 with a solo home run, a double, two walks, five stolen bases and seven runs in seven games since being reinstated from High-A Hub City's 7-day injured list July 31.
Kling was placed on the IL on June 16 due to a fractured right wrist but was cleared to return to action six weeks later without needing a rehab assignment. For the season, the speedy 23-year-old outfielder is slashing .252/.384/.399 with six home runs and 21 steals over 60 games in the South Atlantic League.

Rangers' Josh Jung: Yet to resume baseball activities
Jung (calf) hasn't participated in baseball activities in over a week, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
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.

Rangers' Ben Peoples: Back with Rangers
The Rangers recalled Peoples from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.
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.

Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Goes on IL with elbow inflammation
The Rangers placed Eovaldi on the 15-day injured list Monday with right posterior elbow inflammation.
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.

Rangers' Evan Carter: Idle vs. left-hander
Carter is not in the Rangers' starting lineup against the Angels on Monday.
The Rangers are facing a southpaw for a second consecutive game, so Carter will be out of the lineup against while the Rangers start Ezequiel Duran, Wyatt Langford and Brandon Nimmo in the outfield from left to right. Carter has also struggled at the plate recently, having gone 1-for-22 with two RBI and seven strikeouts over his last eight outings.

Rangers' Brandon Nimmo: Homers in loss
Nimmo went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run in Sunday's 10-5 loss to the Orioles.
The Rangers were chasing early, down 5-0 after two innings, when Nimmo narrowed the deficit to two with a homer off Cade Povich. It was the 13th homer of the season and third this month for Nimmo, who is enjoying a productive beginning of August. The outfielder is 12-for-29 (.414) with three home runs, seven RBI, one steal and five runs scored over eight August games.

Rangers' Kumar Rocker: Hit hard in loss to Orioles
Rocker (4-9) took the loss Sunday against the Orioles, allowing six runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out five over three innings.
Rocker was in trouble from the outset, surrendering four hits and two runs in the first inning before Colton Cowser and Pete Alonso homered in the second. In the fourth, Rocker walked the leadoff batter, prompting his exit. Sunday was his shortest start since lasting two innings against Detroit on May 2. It marked the right-hander's third outing this season allowing at least six earned runs. Rocker now owns a 4.46 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 103:42 K:BB across 111 innings and will look to rebound in his next scheduled start Friday against the Athletics.

Rangers' Marco Gonzales: Returns to Texas on MiLB deal
Gonzales re-signed Friday with the Rangers on a minor-league contract.
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. The 34-year-old lefty previously made two appearances at the big-league level for the Rangers, giving up one earned run on seven hits and four walks over six innings.

Rangers' Danny Jansen: Set to begin rehab assignment
Jansen (forearm) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Double-A Frisco on Tuesday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
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.

Lopez had started the last five games, but the left-handed hitter will retreat to the bench against southpaw Cade Povich. Justin Foscue will step in for Lopez at second base and bat sixth.

Rangers' Joc Pederson: Idle against southpaw
Pederson is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Rangers' Evan Carter: Taking seat versus southpaw
Carter is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Orioles.

Rangers' Jack Leiter: Shifts to 60-day IL
The Rangers transferred Leiter (ankle) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.
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.

Rangers' Alejandro Osuna: Demoted to Triple-A
The Rangers optioned Osuna to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.
Osuna has been up with the Rangers most of the season after spending the first few weeks of the campaign in the minors, but he'll now make his way back to Round Rock. The 23-year-old has underwhelmed at the plate this season with a .255/.347/.297 slash line in 220 plate appearances. Jonah Bride was called up from Triple-A to replace Osuna on the active roster.

Rangers' Jonah Bride: Promoted, starting Sunday
The Rangers selected Bride's contract from Triple-A Round Rock, and he'll start at third base and bat eighth Sunday against the Orioles.
Bride was released from his minor-league contract with the Rangers in mid-July but re-signed with the organization a few days later and is now getting his first look in the majors of 2026. The 30-year-old struggled to a .435 OPS in 45 games between Miami and Minnesota last season, but he's enjoyed a productive campaign at Round Rock with 10 home runs, nine steals and a .284/.404/.428 slash line in 431 plate appearances.
