Nathan Eovaldi - Effective in return to rotation Eovaldi took a no-decision Saturday against the Twins, striking out three while allowing one run on four hits and two walks in 4.1 innings.
Impact Eovaldi made his first start since returning from the injured list in mid-September, ending the season on a positive note. The veteran right-hander has one more year left on his deal with the Rangers, and he figures to rejoin the rotation in 2027 following a disappointing campaign. After recording a career-best 1.73 ERA and 0.85 WHIP in 2025, Eovaldi worked to a 4.20 ERA, 1.22 WHIP and 144:35 K:BB over 145.2 innings in 2026.

MacKenzie Gore - Confirmed starter Sunday Gore is scheduled to start in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Twins.
Impact Gore will toe the rubber for Sunday's regular-season finale as the Rangers look to outlast the Astros for the AL West division crown to secure a spot in the playoffs. The 27-year-old southpaw made his last appearance Tuesday in a no-decision against the Mets, and Gore has a 4.59 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across a career-high 170.2 innings this season.

SEPTEMBER 27 • Associated Press
Nicky Lopez - Leaves Saturday's game Lopez (undisclosed) was removed from Saturday's game against the Twins, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Impact Lopez felt something trying to beat out a bunt at the top of the third inning, and he initially stayed in defensively before being replaced by Cody Freeman in the fourth. The Rangers should have an update during or shortly after Friday's game once Lopez undergoes more tests.

Rangers place 3B Josh Jung on the 10-day IL with a broken right hand

The Texas Rangers placed third baseman Josh Jung on the 10-day injured list with a broken right hand on Saturday with two games remaining in the regular season
SEPTEMBER 26 • Associated Press
Gavin Collyer - Optioned to minors The Rangers optioned Collyer to the Arizona Complex League on Saturday.
Impact Collyer gave up two earned runs in two innings during Friday's contest and will now be pushed out of Texas' bullpen in favor of Robby Ahlstrom, who will give the team another fresh arm to work with.
SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Robby Ahlstrom - Up from Triple-A The Rangers recalled Ahlstrom from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.
Impact The 27-year-old will provide the Rangers with another fresh bullpen arm to work with, replacing Gavin Collyer. Ahlstrom has recorded a 6.08 ERA and 1.43 WHIP over 37 innings with the Rangers this year and will likely be limited to middle-relief duty.
SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Logan O'Hoppe - Up from Round Rock The Rangers recalled O'Hoppe from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.
Impact O'Hoppe will rejoin the Rangers for the final weekend of the regular season to give the team a bat to replace Josh Jung, who landed on the IL with a fractured hand Saturday. O'Hoppe has posted just a .578 OPS in 274 plate appearances in the big leagues this year and isn't likely to see much playing time to close out the season.
SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE
Josh Jung - Placed on IL The Rangers placed Jung on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a fractured right hand.
Impact Jung's move to the injured list will officially rule him out for the rest of the regular season and the start of a potential postseason run, though it's more likely that he remains sidelined until 2027. Cody Freeman and Nicky Lopez are the leading candidates to pick up starts in the infield while Jung is out, and Logan O'Hoppe will come up from Triple-A to replenish Texas' bench depth.
