Kole Calhoun - Out longer than expected Calhoun (heel) has yet to begin significant baseball activities and won't be activated any time soon, Joseph Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Calhoun's right heel irritation originally looked like it would require merely a minimum-length absence, which would leave him eligible to return Saturday, but that won't be happening. Manager Chris Woodward called the issue a "weird injury" and said the Rangers don't really know when Calhoun will return, so the veteran outfielder could be stuck in limbo for some time.

Tyler Duffey - Gets minors deal with Rangers Duffey signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Friday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Duffey was released by the Twins on Monday after struggling to a 4.91 ERA in 44 innings this season. It's no surprising that he quickly found another club, however, as he cruised to a 2.69 ERA from 2019 to 2021. A modest bounceback would make Duffey a useful option down the stretch for the Rangers, and a full return to his previous form would make him one of the team's best relievers.

Cole Ragans - Problems in Houston Ragans (0-2) took the loss Thursday against the Astros, allowing five runs on six hits and three walks while striking out one in 4.1 innings.
Impact Ragans was unable to follow his strong big-league debut with a similar performance. Both Martin Maldonado and Alex Bregman launched moonshots off Ragans as the Astros got out to a 5-0 lead. He struggled with his command throughout the outing and tossed just 49 of his 88 pitches for strikes. Through 9.1 innings in the majors, the 24-year-old has a 4:7 K:BB after posting a 113:31 K:BB in 94.2 minor-league innings. His next start will likely come early next week against Oakland.
