Merrill Kelly - Cruises to 10th win Kelly (10-7) tossed seven scoreless frames while allowing four hits and two walks to pick up the win Sunday against the Guardians. He struck out eight.
Impact The veteran righty was masterful in this 96-pitch appearance to notch his third consecutive quality start, as he limited the Cleveland lineup to just four singles. Kelly has been dependable since joining the Rangers at the trade deadline, pitching to a 3.10 ERA, 1.03 WHIP and 26:8 K:BB across 29 frames. In 157.2 total innings with Texas and Arizona, the 36-year-old now sports a 3.20 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 147:46 K:BB while tallying 16 quality starts. The free-agent-to-be is currently scheduled to make his next start on the road at the Athletics next weekend.

Marcus Semien - Set for prolonged absence Semien (foot) has a fractured third metatarsal and a lisfranc sprain in his left foot, which will sideline him 4-to-6 weeks, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Semien was placed on the 10-day injured list Saturday with what was initially described as a left foot contusion, but the final diagnosis is more significant. With roughly six weeks left in the regular season, the 34-year-old now appears to be at risk of being sidelined until October. Ezequiel Duran drew the start at second base in Sunday's 5-0 victory over the Guardians, and he could handle the bulk of the work at that position moving forward in Semien's absence.

Impact Texas placed Semien on the 10-day injured list Saturday with what the team listed as a left foot contusion, but follow-up tests on the foot evidently revealed that he was dealing with structural damage. With five weeks left in the regular season, the 34-year-old now appears at risk of being shut down for 2025, unless the Rangers are able to clinch a playoff spot and make a deep run in October. Ezequiel Duran drew the start at second base Sunday, and he could handle the bulk of the work at that position while Semien is on the shelf.

Cody Freeman - Losing work to Jung at 3B Freeman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.
Impact Freeman will head to the bench for a second straight game with Gavin Williams taking the mound for Cleveland. He's capable of playing multiple infield and outfield spots and should have a regular role versus left-handed pitching while the Rangers navigate a rash of injuries, but his playing time against righties figures to be limited.

Cody Freeman - Losing work to Jung at 3B Freeman is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.
Impact The right-handed-hitting Freeman will head to the bench for a second straight matchup with a right-handed starter (Gavin Williams). The Rangers appeared to be giving Freeman a look as their primary third baseman, but Josh Jung will occupy the position for the third straight game and may have re-emerged as the team's preferred option. Freeman is capable of playing multiple infield and outfield spots and should have a regular spot in the lineup versus left-handed pitching while the Rangers navigate injuries to Evan Carter (wrist), Jake Burger (wrist), Marcus Semien (foot) and Sam Haggerty (ankle).

Jonah Heim - Set to lose work to Higashioka Heim is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.
Impact Heim had started six of the previous seven contests, but with Kyle Higashioka returning to the lineup Wednesday after recovering from a hamstring injury, the duo will move back into a timeshare. With a .788 OPS since the All-Star break, Higashioka has handily outproduced Heim, who has posted a .638 OPS over that same stretch.

Jonah Heim - Set to lose work to Higashioka Heim is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Guardians.
Impact Heim had started in six of the previous seven contests, but his playing time is likely to become more sporadic after Kyle Higashioka returned to the lineup Wednesday following a four-game absence due to a hamstring injury. With a .788 OPS since the All-Star break, Higashioka has handily outproduced Heim, who has posted a .638 OPS over that same stretch.

Jacob deGrom - Cleared to start Monday Manager Bruce Bochy announced Sunday that deGrom (shoulder) will start Monday's game against the Angels, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact The veteran right-hander threw a bullpen session Saturday with no issues, clearing the way for him to take the mound after having his previous start skipped as a precautionary measure due to shoulder fatigue. DeGrom's 24 starts and 140 innings this season are already his highest totals since 2019, and he's looked fully like his usual dominant self with a 2.76 ERA, 0.93 WHIP and 148:30 K:BB.

Guardians, Texas Rangers starting lineups for Aug. 24, 2025: Game 129 The Guardians need a win Sunday in the series finale to prevent a three-game sweep by the Rangers.
AUGUST 24 • CLEVELAND.COM
Jacob deGrom - Completes bullpen session DeGrom (shoulder) threw a bullpen session Saturday and is expected to make his next start, MLB.com reports.
Impact DeGrom's previous scheduled start was skipped due to discomfort, which the team attributed more to workload than injury. His 140.1 innings pitched in 2025 is the most since 2019. DeGrom is tentatively expected to start Monday at home against the Angels.
AUGUST 24 • ROTOWIRE
Jake Burger - Begins swinging bat Burger (wrist) has begun swinging a bat, MLB.com reports.
Impact This is the start of Burger's progression toward hitting baseballs at some point. This suggests the sprain is on the milder side, and he could rejoin the Rangers around the time he reaches the 10-day minimum stay on the injured list. While Burger has been unavailable, Texas manager Bruce Bochy is using Rowdy Tellez at first base against righties and Ezequiel Duran against lefties.
