Officially recalled The Rangers recalled Helman from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

Impact Helman will replace Evan Carter (wrist) on the 26-man roster. Helman's ability to play infield and outfield should provide Texas with some additional versatility going forward. However, his clearest path to playing time comes in center field.

Call-up pending Helman is expected to be called up from Triple-A Round Rock, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports Friday.

Impact Helman is slated to take Evan Carter's (wrist) spot on the active roster once Carter is placed on the injured list. Helman has been with Round Rock since July 27, and he's slashed .182/.308/.455 in 14 plate appearances with the Rangers this season. The 29-year-old has tallied a .744 OPS with Round Rock in 2025.

Demoted to Triple-A The Rangers optioned Helman to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.

Impact He'll cede his spot on the 26-man active roster to designated hitter Joc Pederson (hand), who was reinstated from the 10-day injured list. After getting called up from Round Rock this past Monday, Helman quickly settled into the short side of a platoon in center field with the left-handed-hitting Evan Carter, making three starts while going 2-for-7 with a home run, four RBI and an additional run. Sam Haggerty was reinstated from the IL earlier in the weekend and will most likely replace Helman as Carter's platoon mate.

Plates four runs after promotion Helman went 1-for-4 with a three-run home run and an additional RBI in a 7-2 win against the Athletics on Monday.

Impact Helman was called up Monday afternoon and was promptly inserted into the leadoff spot as the Rangers' starting center fielder. The 29-year-old capitalized on the opportunity, mashing a three-run homer to left field in the fifth inning and adding another RBI on a sacrifice bunt in the seventh. The long ball was the first of Helman's major-league career in his 15th game, though he's amassed just 21 plate appearances to date.

Called up, batting leadoff Monday The Rangers recalled Helman from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday. He'll start in center field and bat leadoff in the Rangers' series opener versus the Athletics.

Impact Helman will join the 26-man active roster as a replacement for outfielder Alejandro Osuna, who was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move. A 29-year-old utility player, Helman previously appeared in five games with the Rangers this season and went 0-for-4 with two walks, two runs and one steal in six plate appearances. Though he'll occupy a prominent spot in the lineup Monday versus Athletics southpaw Jacob Lopez, the right-handed-hitting Helman may see infrequent opportunities against right-handed pitching while he's up with Texas.

Sent back to Triple-A The Rangers optioned Helman to Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday.

Impact Helman was sent down Thursday as Justin Foscue gets recalled from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move. Helman made his season debut with the Rangers on June 27 and appeared in four games after that. He logged six plate appearances in which he got no hits, but was able to draw two walks.

Capitalizes on error Helman went 0-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base and one run scored in Monday's 10-6 extra-innings loss to the Orioles.

Impact Helman earned his first start of the season in center field, covering for the absence of Evan Carter (personal), who is set to rejoin the Rangers on Wednesday. Helman was able to get aboard with a walk in the seventh, then stole second and came around to score after Gary Sanchez's attempt to throw him out went into the outfield, followed by Sanchez bobbling the return throw home. Helman's been up with the Rangers since Friday, appearing in two games, but his playing time will likely remain limited once the team is closer to full strength again. He'll likely get most of his starts against left-handed pitchers, and Helman could be the one to lose his roster spot once Wyatt Langford (oblique) is ready to return.

Called up by Texas The Rangers recalled Helman from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

Impact Helman will make his Rangers debut after being claimed by Texas on May 19. Since then, he's slashed .246/.306/.451 at Triple-A with five home runs and six stolen bases. He'll take Wyatt Langford's (oblique) spot on the active roster. Helman is likely to mix in at center field and left field, though he'll have to compete with the likes of Evan Carter, Alejandro Osuna and Sam Haggerty for playing time.

Catches on with Texas The Rangers claimed Helman off waivers from the Pirates on Monday.

Impact Helman will join his third organization in less than a week after the Pirates claimed him off waivers from the Cardinals last Wednesday. The 28-year-old utility player reached the big leagues for the first time with the Twins in 2024 but never saw MLB action during his stints in the St. Louis and Pittsburgh organizations. Helman will report to Triple-A Round Rock and could be an option to join the Rangers at some point later on in the season if Texas has a need for an extra infielder.
