Rangers' Kirby Yates: Fans two for 30th save
Yates picked up the save over the Mariners on Friday, allowing one hit over a scoreless ninth inning while striking out two.
Yates entered the contest with a one-run lead in the bottom of the ninth and needed 11 pitches to get through the first two batters before allowing a single to Victor Robles. The veteran reliever was then able to get Julio Rodriguez to go down swinging for the final out while securing his 30th save of the campaign in the process. Yates has converted each of his last nine save opportunities, including five this month. He's allowed only one hit and one walk through five September appearances, posting a 6:1 K:BB over that stretch.

Rangers' Kumar Rocker: Fans seven in debut
Rocker did not factor into the decision in a win over Seattle on Thursday, allowing one run on three hits and two walks over four innings while striking out seven.
Rocker certainly held his own in his big league debut, recording seven strikeouts over four innings while generating 17 whiffs. The 24-year-old also managed to pitch his way out of a few jams after allowing the leadoff man to reach in the first and third innings, though he would be relieved by Gerson Garabito to open the fifth after reaching 74 pitches. Rocker will look to improve upon his promising first start next week, assuming the Rangers keep the rookie around for at least another turn in the rotation.

Rangers' Corey Seager: Set for season-ending surgery
Seager was diagnosed with a sports hernia and will have season-ending surgery Friday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Seager has been out for the last week due to what was originally deemed hip soreness. However, he has now been diagnosed with a sports hernia on his right side. There hasn't been any official word on his status for 2025, but he'll presumably be ready for spring training. Josh Smith has been filling in as Texas' shortstop and will presumably continue to do so over the final weeks of the season.

Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Back on bench Thursday
Duran is not in the lineup for Thursday's game in Seattle.
Duran has been picking up starts at a multitude of positions since Corey Seager (hip) landed on the 10-day injured list. Until Thursday, Duran had made five consecutive starts, but he went hitless in the last two games as the designated hitter. Adolis Garcia is in the lineup as the designated hitter Thursday while Josh Smith is starting at shortstop.

Rangers' Kumar Rocker: Officially promoted for MLB debut
The Rangers selected Rocker's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday.
Rocker has dominated at the Double-A and Triple-A levels since returning from Tommy John surgery, logging a minuscule 0.91 ERA and 0.57 WHIP alongside a 47:4 K:BB across 29.2 total innings. He has yet to last more than five frames in any start he's made this year, though he still projects to be a valuable fantasy asset. He will be making his major-league debut Thursday against a Mariners offense that owns the sixth-worst OPS in the majors and has struck out more than any other team.

Rangers' Chase Anderson: Designated for assignment
The Rangers designated Anderson for assignment Thursday.
Anderson will end up as the odd man out of a roster spot to make room for Kumar Rocker, who was promoted for his MLB debut Thursday in Seattle. The 36-year-old Anderson owns a 5.40 ERA and 1.30 WHIP across 58.1 innings in the majors this season, though another team in need of long-relief help may be interested in adding him to their bullpen for the final few weeks of the year, though he won't be playoff eligible with a new organization.

Rangers' Alejandro Osuna: Strong first showing at Double-A
Osuna is slashing .301/.374/.505 with seven home runs, seven steals and a 21.3 percent strikeout rate in 53 games for Double-A Frisco.
He slashed .272/.339/.486 with nine home runs and 10 steals in 45 games in a return to High-A Hickory to start the season. Osuna has seen time in all three outfield spots this year, but he projects best in left field due to his average speed and fringe-average arm. His lack of defensive utility means Osuna will need to stand out at the plate in order to eventually crack the big-league lineup in a year or two.

Rangers' Adolis Garcia: Snaps hitless run
Garcia went 2-for-4 with a double and an RBI in Wednesday's 14-4 loss to Arizona.
Garcia's fourth-inning single snapped a hitless run of 17 consecutive at-bats, and he's batting just .189 through 10 games this month. He still has fantasy utility with 22 home runs and 11 stolen bases, but Garcia's bat is having a lesser impact in 2024. After averaging 99 RBI and a .777 OPS over his previous three seasons, Garcia sits at 74 RBI and a .672 OPS with 16 games left in the campaign.

Rangers' Leody Taveras: Swipes 19th bag
Taveras went 0-for-1 with two walks, a run scored and a stolen base in Wednesday's 14-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.
The center fielder has swiped three bags in his last five games, giving him 19 pilfers on the season, but that's about the only real fantasy contribution Taveras has been making of late. His homer drought sits at 31 games, a stretch in which he's slashing a meager .209/.250/.264 with nine RBI and 13 runs, and his struggles at the plate have been costing him playing time as the Rangers consider their options for 2025.

Rangers' Cody Bradford: Hit hard in Wednesday's loss
Bradford (5-3) took the loss Wednesday, coughing up eight runs on nine hits -- including three home runs -- over 3.2 innings as the Rangers were routed 14-4 by the Diamondbacks. He struck out four without walking a batter.
The southpaw gave up six extra-base hits in total, including long balls by Randal Grichuk, Eugenio Suarez and Ketel Marte. It's the first time Bradford has served up multiple homers in an outing since Aug. 3, while it's the first time he's been tagged for more than three runs since July 30. He'll look to bounce back in his next start, which lines up to come at home next week against the Blue Jays.

Rangers' Marcus Semien: Reaches 20 homers
Semien went 2-for-5 with a home run, two RBI and an additional run scored in Wednesday's 14-4 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Semien put the Rangers on the board in the third inning with a solo home run, his second long ball in the last three games and 20th of the season. He's hit safely in six of the last seven contests, going 9-for-30 (.300) and scored seven runs. Semien is 10 runs shy of posting a fourth consecutive season with at least 100 runs scored.

Rangers' Avery Weems: Joins Triple-A club
The Rangers reinstated Weems (elbow) from Double-A Frisco's 60-day injured list Tuesday and assigned him to Triple-A Round Rock.
After undergoing Tommy John surgery last February, Weems missed the entire 2023 season and didn't make his 2024 debut until Sept. 1, when he began a rehab assignment with High-A Hickory. Weems was roughed up for six earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out four over 3.2 innings across his three outings for Hickory, but the Rangers saw enough from the lefty to activate him and advance him to their top affiliate.

Rangers' Justin Foscue: Sitting in third straight game
Foscue is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Foscue had an opportunity to pick up regular at-bats after Corey Seager (hip) was placed on the injured list last week, but the Rangers have seemingly pulled the plug on the rookie. He'll hit the bench for the third game in a row while Ezequiel Duran has emerged as the preferred option for the lineup spot vacated by Seager.

Rangers' Jonah Heim: Getting afternoon off
Heim is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.
Heim will take a seat for Wednesday's matinee after he logged eight innings behind the plate in the Rangers' 6-0 loss Tuesday night. Carson Kelly will start at catcher in the series finale in Arizona.

Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Makes fourth consecutive start
Duran started at designated hitter and went 0-for-2 with a walk in Tuesday's 6-0 loss to Arizona.
Duran made a fourth consecutive start and sixth over the last seven contests. During that run, he's played left field, second base, shortstop, third base and DH while going 7-for-20 with four extra-base hits, two walks, five RBI and five runs scored. The opportunities could dry up when Corey Seager (hip) returns.

Rangers' Wyatt Langford: Records two steals in loss
Langford went 2-for-4 with two stolen bases in Tuesday's 6-0 loss to the Diamondbacks.
Langford has hit safely in eight of nine games in September, going 12-for-36 (.333) with five extra-base hits and nine RBI in that span. His steals Tuesday were his first since Aug. 21. The rookie outfielder is up to a .248/.315/.384 slash line with 14 thefts, 10 home runs, 63 RBI and 57 runs scored over 117 contests this season.
