Shut down with inflamed shoulder The Rangers placed Cody on the 10-day injured list Sunday with right shoulder inflammation.
Impact Texas recalled Josh Sborz from its taxi squad to replace Cody in the bullpen and on the 26-man roster. Cody had worked mostly in lower-leverage spots in relief for the Rangers this season, posting a 7.94 ERA and 1.59 WHIP across 11.1 innings.

Takes loss Friday Cody (0-2) took the loss Friday against the White Sox, allowing three runs on four hits while striking out four across three innings.
Impact The young reliever was called upon to preserve a tie game late in the game Friday. Cody would register one clean inning, but would get hit hard in his final two innings. The 26-year-old has surrendered runs in five out of his seven outings this year and maintains a 7.94 ERA across 11.1 innings.

Throws scoreless inning Cody allowed one hit and struck out two over a scoreless inning in Friday's 3-0 loss to the Padres.
Impact This was the first scoreless outing among three appearances for Cody, one of several Rangers with a scant major-league track record. Coming off Tommy John elbow surgery that wiped out 2019, the right-hander started five games for Texas in 2020 and is being used out of the bullpen this season. What looked like fine results on the surface in 2020 (1.59 ERA) were less special upon deeper inspection (5.2 BB/9, 5.37 xFIP). Thus far in 2021, the results have skewed less special, as Cody permitted five runs (four earned) on seven hits, one walk and three hit batsmen over 4.1 innings.

Makes Opening Day roster Cody has been informed that he'll make the Rangers' Opening Day roster, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Cody will begin the season in the bullpen after tossing just 22.2 innings across the past two seasons. The right-hander has posted a 7.15 ERA and 1.76 WHIP in 11.1 innings this spring and should have his workload monitored in 2021. However, he could fill in as a starter if needed this year.

Throws three scoreless innings Cody allowed one walk and struck out six over three scoreless innings in Wednesday's spring game against the Reds.
Impact Cody entered camp with several other young pitchers competing for two tandem rotation spots but had not delivered results over his first four appearances. Prior to Wednesday's impressive outing, the right-hander allowed nine runs, 17 hits and three walks over 8.1 innings. Cody underwent Tommy John elbow surgery and missed all of 2019 before throwing just 22.2 innings in 2020. As such, the Rangers plan to monitor his usage in 2021.

Struggles with delivery Cody could not consistently keep his delivery in line Sunday and allowed two runs on four hits and a walk in two innings against the Dodgers, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News...
Impact Mike Foltynewicz started Sunday's game, then was followed by three pitchers competing for the final rotation spot, including Cody. "It was honestly good for him to have to kind of grind it out and see how he responds. I'm not worried about him. I think he'll make the adjustment. I know he will get back down in the strike zone," manager Chris Woodward said about Cody. Dane Dunning (one BB, two IP) was the best of the starter candidates, while Cody and Hyeon-Jong Yang (one run, two hits, one HR, one IP) need to be better than they showed.

Impact The only run against Cody came on a George Springer triple in the fifth inning. Other than that, Cody was able to keep the Astros in check. The 26-year-old Cody hasn't allowed more than a run in any of his eight appearances (five starts) this year. He ends with a 1.59 ERA, 1.24 WHIP and 18 strikeouts in 22.2 innings.
