Enters for injured teammate Haggerty replaced Brandon Nimmo (ankle) in Tuesday's 7-4 win over Arizona. He went 0-for-1 in his lone plate appearance.

Impact Nimmo landed awkwardly when legging out an infield single in the sixth inning. Haggerty entered as a pinch runner and remained in the game to play left field, while Alejandro Osuna moved from left to right field. With Nimmo day-to-day and Wyatt Langford (forearm) on the injured list, Haggerty could grab some starts in the coming days. He's filled a minor role with the Rangers, totaling just 33 plate appearances and batting .161 over 25 games.

Logs first steal Haggerty entered Friday's game as a pinch runner, stole a base and scored a run in an 8-7 loss to the Dodgers.

Impact Haggerty scored Texas' game-tying run in the ninth inning to erase a 7-4 deficit it faced to start the frame. He remained in the game to play left field, which had earlier been vacated when Wyatt Langford left with a quad injury. Ezequiel Duran initially replaced Langford, who will undergo imaging to determine the severity of his injury. Pending the results of Langford's test, there may be a need for a fill-in like the switch-hitting Haggerty. In limited playing time in 2025, he stole 12 bases over 64 games.

Steps in against lefty Haggerty started in left field and went 1-for-2 with a run scored in Sunday's 8-3 win over Philadelphia.

Impact Haggerty, who replaced Evan Carter against a lefty, singled and scored in the third inning. The former occupies the short end of a platoon, as Carter has not yet proven he can consistently produce against southpaws. The switch-hitting Haggerty, who is better against lefties than righties, was eventually removed when a right-handed reliever entered the contest. In a minor role for the Rangers in 2025, Haggerty stole 12 bases in 64 games, the third time in the previous four seasons he's reached double-digit steals in a part-time role.

MARCH 10 • MLB.COM

Offensive star Saturday Haggerty started at second base and went 3-for-3 with a double and three RBI in Saturday's spring game against the Cubs.

Impact Haggerty is known more for his work in the outfield, but he can play multiple infield positions and will get a shot at backing up Josh Smith, who is the presumptive starter at second base. The 31-year-old Haggerty is not a lock to make the Opening Day roster, but efforts like Saturday and his defensive versatility will help. If he earns a roster spot, Haggerty could be a sneaky source of steals for fantasy lineups; he stole 12 bags in 64 games last season and has double-digit steals in three of the last four seasons.

Entering spring healthy Haggerty (ankle) took live batting practice against teammate Nathan Eovaldi on Sunday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Impact Haggerty didn't see action for the Rangers after mid-August of last season after he experienced a setback in his recovery from left ankle inflammation during his minor-league rehab assignment in September. However, the injury didn't deter the Rangers from tendering him a contract this offseason, and now that he appears to be healthy once again, Haggerty should be in good shape to win a utility job on the Texas' Opening Day roster. In addition to being able to play all three outfield spots as well as second base, third base and shortstop, the switch-hitting Haggerty will give Texas a weapon against left-handed pitching. Haggerty slashed .318/.376/.435 across 94 plate appearances versus southpaws in 2025.

Impact Haggerty inked a minor-league deal with Texas in February and was up in the big leagues six weeks into the regular season. The 31-year-old primarily worked in a utility role and had a .253/.328/.370 slash line with 12 steals and 31 runs in 181 plate appearances.

Done for 2025 The Rangers transferred Haggerty (ankle) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.

Impact Haggerty landed on the 10-day injured list in mid-August due to left ankle inflammation. He was cleared to embark on a rehab assignment in early September but was shut down after experiencing a setback, and his transfer to the 60-day IL means his 2025 campaign is done. Haggerty will end the season with a .253/.328/.370 slash line with 12 steals, 31 runs, two home runs and 13 RBI over 181 plate appearances. The move corresponds with Wyatt Langford (oblique) being placed on the 10-day IL and the Rangers selecting Billy McKinney's contract from Triple-A Round Rock.
