Sam Haggerty - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

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.

Rehab on pause Haggerty (ankle) will be shut down from his rehab assignment until Wednesday after experiencing a setback, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Haggerty experienced some pain in his left ankle, so the club has elected to slow his rehab assignment. He'll presumably be back in the mix Wednesday and could return from the 10-day injured list later in the week if he's able to log a few solid appearances in the minors.

Starting rehab assignment Friday Haggerty (ankle) ran the bases at Globe Life Field on Wednesday and is slated to begin a rehab assignment Friday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Haggerty has been shelved since mid-August with left ankle inflammation but is almost ready to test things out in game action. The emergence of Michael Helman could throw a wrench into Haggerty's playing time, but Haggerty is hitting .318/.376/.435 versus lefties and offers positional versatility, so he should still find his way into the lineup against southpaws once he's ready to return.
