Leody Taveras - On bench against lefty Taveras is out of the lineup for Saturday's game against the Angels.

Impact Taveras will be held out of the starting lineup against a left-handed starting pitcher (Tyler Anderson) for a third straight time. In his place, Wyatt Langford will man center field.

Leody Taveras - Doesn't start Friday Taveras was not in the starting lineup for Friday's game against the Angels. It was the second straight time he's sat this week against a left-hander.

Impact Sandro Fabian started in outfield Friday while Ezequiel Duran filled in Tuesday. It's unclear if sitting Taveras against lefties is the plan going forward, but more should be known Saturday when the Angels have another lefty scheduled. The switch-hitting Taveras is batting .202/.287/.262 over 96 plate appearances against southpaws this season.

Sandro Fabian - Makes MLB debut Friday Fabian started in left field and went 0-for-2 in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Angels.

Impact Fabian, who had his contract selected from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday, made his MLB debut Friday, slotting in against a left-hander. He was eventually removed for a pinch hitter once a right-handed reliever entered the game. This was the second straight game in which Leody Taveras was held out of the starting lineup against a left-handed starter, so Fabian could be in line for opportunities against southpaws going forward. That includes Saturday, when the Angels have lefty Tyler Anderson scheduled to start.

Ezequiel Duran - Starts at shortstop Friday Duran started at shortstop and went 1-for-4 in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Angels.

Impact The Rangers have used a few bodies to cover shortstop since Corey Seager (hip) was placed on the 10-day injured list. Duran, who joined Jonathan Ornelas and Josh Smith as part of the fill-in crew, has hit safely in three consecutive games and is batting .250 (10-for-40) since returning the majors in late July. He was a competent bench bat for the 2023 World Series champions but has been unable to repeat that level of production in 2024.

José Ureña - Yields three runs as bulk reliever Urena did not factor into the decision Friday, allowing three runs (two earned) on three hits and two walks over 5.2 innings against the Angels. He struck out three.

Impact The veteran right-hander served as the bulk reliever, firing 75 pitches and finishing the game after Gerson Garabito and Walter Pennington opened the contest. All three runs Urena allowed came via a homer by Logan O'Hoppe in the sixth inning. The 32-year-old has been a useful tool for manager Bruce Bochy to bridge the gap between numerous rotation injuries this season. He's now made 32 appearances -- including nine starts -- while pitching to a 3.69 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 68:38 K:BB across 107.1 innings.

Grant Anderson - Lands on injured list Anderson was placed on the 15-day injured list Friday, retroactive to Sept. 5, with a right ankle contusion.

Impact The right-hander was forced to leave Wednesday's game after taking a comebacker off his ankle -- the batted ball was clocked at 103 mph off the bat of Jazz Chisholm. Anderson appears to have escaped with a bruise, but it will still cost him at least a couple weeks and could perhaps end his season. Owen White was recalled in a corresponding move.

Owen White - Returns to Texas White was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

Impact Four days after he was sent down, White will return to the big-league roster to replace Grant Anderson (ankle) in the Rangers' bullpen. White has split his time between the rotation and bullpen at Round Rock this season, posting a 5.55 ERA, 1.52 WHIP and 82:45 K:BB in 95.2 total innings. He's allowed a total of six runs in two appearances in the majors this season.

Sebastian Walcott - Mastering tough assignment Walcott is slashing .307/.355/.519 with eight home runs, 19 steals and a 24.6 percent strikeout rate in his last 72 games for High-A Hickory.

Impact Walcott received arguably the most aggressive opening assignment of the year for a top prospect, heading to High-A just two weeks after his 18th birthday without ever playing at Single-A. He is the best prospect ever from the Bahamas and a potential first-rounder in fantasy if he approaches his ceiling. He's 6-foot-4, 190 pounds, so there's a chance he'll steadily grow into immense power to go with his plus-plus speed.
