Injuries
Jakob Junis15-Day-IL
Junis (adductor) completed a bullpen session Tuesday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
More detail
Junis was able to throw roughly 20 pitches during Tuesday's session, and he announced that he will throw another bullpen Thursday. The team is expected to reassess the right-hander's status after Thursday, as he continues to work his way back from a left adductor strain that has sidelined him since July 30. Junis is eligible to be activated from the 15-day injured list Thursday, but a return in late August now appears to be a more realistic goal.
Josh Jung10-Day-IL
Jung (calf) hasn't participated in baseball activities in over a week, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
More detail
The team reported last Wednesday that Jung would miss at least another 10 days, though the fact that he's yet to be cleared to resume baseball activities presumably means he's in store for a lengthier absence. He was placed on the 10-day injured list July 25 with a left calf strain and has done some running, but not much else to this point.
Nathan Eovaldi15-Day-IL
The Rangers placed Eovaldi on the 15-day injured list Monday with right posterior elbow inflammation.
More detail
There's no word yet on how much time Eovaldi might miss, but if there's a silver lining it's that the elbow injury is not related to his UCL. Eovaldi has been slated to start Wednesday's game against the Angels, but the Rangers will likely turn to Cal Quantrill to make that start.
Danny Jansen60-Day-IL
Jansen (forearm) will begin a minor-league rehab assignment with Double-A Frisco on Tuesday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
More detail
Jansen has been sidelined since early June while recovering from a right forearm injury, but he's all set to return to game action this week. The catcher was eligible to be activated from the 60-day injured list Wednesday, so whenever the team feels like he has shaken off the rust and gotten back up to speed, he'll be able to return to the major-league roster. Considering how long he's been out, it wouldn't be a surprise if he requires a lengthy rehab assignment, but a return to the Rangers before the end of August appears likely.
Jack Leiter60-Day-IL
The Rangers transferred Leiter (ankle) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Sunday.
More detail
The right-hander has been on the shelf since mid-June, so the move to the 60-day IL isn't expected to affect his return timeline. Leiter threw 33 pitches over two innings of live batting practice Saturday and could begin a rehab assignment Thursday, assuming his bullpen session Monday goes well, per Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News.
Jose Corniell60-Day-IL
The Rangers placed Corniell on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with an elbow injury, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
More detail
Corniell gave up five earned runs in just one inning out of the bullpen during Monday's game against the White Sox, and he'll now have to remain on the sidelines until at least Aug. 5 due to his latest injury. The severity of his injury remains unknown, though it's worth noting that the 23-year-old righty underwent Tommy John surgery back in 2024. Marco Gonzales was promoted from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move.
Jalen Beeks60-Day-IL
The Rangers transferred Beeks (forearm) to the 60-day injured list Tuesday.
More detail
It was announced July 4 that Beeks would miss the rest of the 2026 season due to requiring season-ending surgery to repair a flexor tendon in his left forearm. The status of the surgery is yet to be revealed, which still makes his timeline for getting back to full strength unclear.
Kyle Higashioka10-Day-IL
Higashioka is not in the lineup for Monday's game against the White Sox.
More detail
Higashioka will get some rest after starting at catcher each of the last two days. Elias Diaz will be behind the dish for the Rangers in Monday's series opener.
Michael Helman60-Day-IL
Texas transferred Helman (hand) to the 60-day injured list Friday.
More detail
Helman was placed on the 10-day IL on June 14 after suffering multiple fractures in his right hand after being hit by a pitch. The Rangers decided to move the 30-year-old to the 60-day IL in order to free up a spot on the 40-man roster. Helman only appeared in 15 games for Texas this season, recording just 35 plate appearances. Jared Kelenic will replace Helman on the 40-man roster.
Robert Garcia60-Day-IL
The Rangers transferred Garcia (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list to the 60-day IL on Monday.
More detail
The Rangers made a number of transactions Monday, and moving Garcia to the 60-day IL opened a spot on the 40-man roster for left-hander Robby Ahlstrom, who was called up from Triple-A Round Rock. Since being placed on the 15-day IL in late April due to left rotator cuff inflammation, Garcia has been doing light work in his throwing program since early May. He's not eligible to be reinstated from the IL until late June, but the Rangers will have a better sense of Garcia's recovery timeline once he progresses to throwing bullpen sessions.
Carter Baumler60-Day-IL
Baumler (intercostal) has been shut down from his rehab assignment, MLB.com reports.
More detail
Baumler made three appearances while on his rehab assignment but experienced a setback and hasn't pitched since April 28. It's unclear when the right-hander will restart a throwing program.
