Rangers' Corey Seager: Reaches 20 homers in finale
Rotowire
Seager went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Twins.
Seager went deep in his final at-bat of the year to reach at least 20 home runs for the fifth straight campaign. The shortstop posted an .804 OPS with 10 homers in 51 second-half games after entering the All-Star break with a lowly .666 mark. Overall, he'll wrap up his 12th major-league season slashing a disappointing .227/.312/.424 with 20 long balls, 51 RBI, 57 runs scored and two steals across 436 plate appearances.

Rangers' MacKenzie Gore: Early hook in finale
Rotowire
Gore did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Twins, allowing one run on one hit and one walk over 2.1 innings. He did not record a strikeout.
Gore started a major-league-leading 34th game but did not last long, throwing 15 of 25 pitches for strikes and departing with one out in the third inning. It's unclear if the southpaw was injured Sunday, but he'll finish the campaign having completed five frames in only five of his final seven outings. He'll conclude his first season in Texas with a 4.58 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 174:71 K:BB across a career-high 173 innings.

O'Hoppe was optioned to the ACL Rangers on Sunday.

Rangers' Cam Cauley: Called up by Texas
Rotowire
The Rangers recalled Cauley from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.
Cauley will provide the Rangers with infield depth for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Twins, with catcher Logan O'Hoppe being optioned in a corresponding move. Cauley has appeared in 34 major-league games this season and has a .626 OPS with one steal and a solo home run across 65 plate appearances.
Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Effective in return to rotation
Rotowire
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.
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.

Rangers' MacKenzie Gore: Confirmed starter Sunday
Rotowire
Gore is scheduled to start in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Twins.
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.

Rangers' Nicky Lopez: Leaves Saturday's game
Rotowire
Lopez (ankle/heel) was removed from Saturday's game against the Twins, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Per Wilson, Lopez tweaked his left ankle/heel while 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 on Lopez's status for Sunday's game once the veteran infielder undergoes more tests.

Rangers' Gavin Collyer: Optioned to minors
Rotowire
The Rangers optioned Collyer to the Arizona Complex League on Saturday.
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.

Rangers' Robby Ahlstrom: Up from Triple-A
Rotowire
The Rangers recalled Ahlstrom from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.
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.

Rangers' Logan O'Hoppe: Up from Round Rock
Rotowire
The Rangers recalled O'Hoppe from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.
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.

Rangers' Josh Jung: Placed on IL
Rotowire
The Rangers placed Jung on the 10-day injured list Saturday with a fractured right hand.
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.

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Tagged for eight runs
Rotowire
DeGrom (11-11) took the loss Friday against the Twins after allowing eight runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out five over four innings.
DeGrom matched a season high in runs allowed at the worst possible time, as the Rangers are in a tight race to win the AL West. The subpar outing overshadowed the fact that the star hurler also recorded his 200th strikeout of the season Friday, reaching the milestone for the first time since 2019. DeGrom made 31 starts this season and pitched at least 160 innings in back-to-back years for the first time since 2018 and 2019. He finishes the regular season with a 4.20 ERA and 1.14 WHIP across 162.2 frames. If the Rangers make the playoffs, expect DeGrom to take the ball in the AL Wild Card round.
Eovaldi will start Saturday's game against the Twins.
Eovaldi will be making his first start since Aug. 7 during the Rangers' penultimate regular-season game as they continue to compete for a division title. The 36-year-old has made four appearances as a reliever since returning from an elbow injury Sept. 12, during which he's coughed up five earned runs in 8.2 innings while striking out four batters and walking one. He never threw more than 46 pitches in any of those outings, so although he'll be capable of handling multiple innings Saturday, he may struggle to pitch deep enough into the game to record a win.

Rangers' Josh Jung: Suffers hand fracture
Rotowire
X-rays revealed a fracture in Jung's right hand after his removal from Friday's game against the Twins, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Jung took a 94.6-mph fastball off his hand during his first-inning at-bat before being removed from the game an inning later. His diagnosis will almost certainly rule him out for Texas' final two regular-season contests and a potential postseason run, putting an early end to his season. Although he'll end the year on a sour note, the 28-year-old enjoyed a largely successful 2026 campaign in which he slashed .299/.365/.462 with 12 homers, 42 RBI and 53 runs scored across 444 plate appearances.

Rangers' Josh Jung: Exits after HBP
Rotowire
Jung was removed from Friday's game against the Twins after getting hit on the hand by a pitch, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Jung stayed in the game after taking a 94.6-mph fastball off his wrist in the first inning but was later removed in the second frame. The severity of his injury remains unknown, but the Rangers will likely send him in for imaging and provide an update once they know more. Cody Freeman would be next up to start at third base if Jung misses a game.
