Rangers land towering lefty Bumila in Round 3 amid UCL concerns

Texas Rangers drafted Massachusetts prep left-hander Brody Bumila with the 89th overall pick (Round 3) of the 2026 MLB Draft. Bumila is a 6'9", 255-pound lefty from Bishop Feehan HS who has flashed a 100 mph fastball with extension, but carries UCL damage and recently had internal brace surgery; he needs to refine command and improve slider and changeup. Previously viewed as a likely first-round talent before the injury, Bumila is committed to Texas but is expected to sign if drafted in Round 3, and his athleticism and pitching aptitude give him upside if health and development cooperate.

Rangers activate Carter as Langford lands on IL with hamstring strain

Texas Rangers place Wyatt Langford on the injured list with a left hamstring strain and recall Evan Carter from the IL; Carter, who had been out since June 12, went 2-for-2 with a homer and a walk in his lone rehab game for Frisco, while Langford had been red-hot since returning from a forearm injury, slashing .278/.324/.500 in 173 plate appearances; no timetable for Langford’s return is provided.

Rangers DFA Sam Haggerty as Seager, Langford Return

Texas Rangers reinstated Corey Seager and Wyatt Langford from the IL, optioned Cody Freeman and Alejandro Osuna, and designated utilityman Sam Haggerty for assignment after a disappointing .15/.213/.182 batting line this season; with five years of service, Haggerty can reject the assignment for free agency, but a release by Texas appears likely as they clear roster space.

DeGrom’s gem lifts Rangers to 2-1 win, four-game streak continues

Texas Rangers beat the St. Louis Cardinals 2-1 to extend their winning streak to four, tying a season high. Jacob deGrom earned his 100th career win with eight strikeouts across five scoreless innings, lowering his ERA to 3.48. The Rangers leaned on a productive middle infield (Duran/Lopez) who combined for five hits, and they stole three bases — the club’s first three-base game of the season. Cardinals relievers allowed the lone run via Masyn Winn’s homer off Peyton Gray, while deGrom’s outing anchored the victory.

Rangers Promote Robby Ahlstrom for MLB Debut, Bolster Lefty Depth

Texas plans to promote left-hander Robby Ahlstrom from Triple-A Round Rock, making his MLB debut as the Rangers navigate a full 40-man roster. In 2026 he owns a 2.76 ERA over 29 1/3 innings with a 28.4% strikeout rate and a 6.9% walk rate, featuring a four-seam fastball (93–94 mph) plus a newer sinker. With three lefty relievers already in the bullpen, Texas will likely need to clear space—potentially by optioning a rookie or moving a pitcher to the 60-day IL—to accommodate Ahlstrom.

Rangers Complete Sweep as Royals’ Slide Reaches Six

Texas Rangers completed a series sweep of the Kansas City Royals with a 6-3 win, pushing KC's skid to six straight losses and 16 of 19 overall. A four-run first inning, capped by Ezequiel Duran's two-run triple and an RBI double from Higashioka, chased starter Michael Wacha after five innings; he allowed six runs on eight hits. Royals relievers mostly held the line afterward, but Michael Massey’s two-run homer and a pair of hits provided the lone offense in a day of continued struggles for KC, who head to Cincinnati for a three-game set with Luinder Avila expected to start a bullpen game.

Rangers bet on versatility, signing Nicky Lopez and DFAing McCutchen

The Texas Rangers signed infielder Nicky Lopez to a one-year deal and designated outfielder/DH Andrew McCutchen for assignment, a roster reshuffle built around Lopez’s defensive flexibility while McCutchen’s rough hitting earned him a DFA; the move could open playing time for Justin Foscue at DH/1B, but it also raises questions about potential continued absences of Corey Seager or Josh Smith.

Rangers DFA McCutchen as Lopez Debuts at Second

The Texas Rangers designated Andrew McCutchen for assignment and signed utility infielder Nicky Lopez to a major-league contract, with Lopez starting at second base against the Houston Astros. McCutchen, who had a Spring Training minor-league deal and opened the season as the DH, went with a .192 average and 1 home run in 83 plate appearances, marking a fourth straight year of declining production.

Astros blank Rangers in 9-0 blowout, sparking talk of a phantom no-hitter

Houston routed Texas 9-0 as the Rangers’ offense and pitching stagnated, prompting tongue-in-cheek speculation about the Rangers no-hitting the Astros only to lose. The piece highlights a “combination no-hitter” by Imai, Okert and Santa, contrasts it with Rangers’ injuries and lineup churn, and notes the season-long grind and the AL West’s uneven play, while hopeful that the next game may improve.
