Corey SeagerSS · Oct 9Elbow · Surgery · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Oct 9 | Out | Elbow · Surgery · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young noted following the conclusion of the regular season that Seager could require an operation after battling through the elbow issue for months, and that's indeed what's happened. While the Rangers might ease Seager into things at the start of spring training, he should be fine for Opening Day. The 32-year-old shortstop had arguably his worst season in 2026, slashing .227/.312/.424 with 20 home runs in 102 tilts. |
Danny JansenC · Oct 9Hand · Surgery · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Oct 9 | Out | Hand · Surgery · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | It's a minor operation that's not expected to affect Jansen's offseason workouts. Jansen slashed .203/.296/.381 with eight home runs over 67 games for the Rangers this season. As things stand currently, the 31-year-old Jansen seems likely to open the 2027 campaign as the Rangers' top catcher. |
Cal QuantrillRP · Sep 22Lat · Strain · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 22 | 60-Day-IL | Lat · Strain · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | Quantrill will not pitch again this season after being transferred to the 60-day IL Tuesday. The right-hander posted a 2.86 ERA, 1.04 WHIP and 81:25 K:BB across 110 innings this season. Texas activated Michael Helman (hand) from the 60-day IL, replacing Quantrill on both the active and 40-man rosters. |
Carter BaumlerRP · Aug 31Ribs · Strain · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Aug 31 | 60-Day-IL | Ribs · Strain · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | Baumler recently completed throwing sessions at the team's training facility in Arizona. The Rangers want to see him progress to throwing on back-to-back days and multiple innings before activating him. |
Cole WinnRP · Sep 18Shoulder · Strain · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 18 | 60-Day-IL | Shoulder · Strain · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | Winn was placed on the injured list Aug. 31 with a right rotator cuff strain, and moving to the 60-day IL will ensure he remains out for the rest of the season. His place on the 40-man roster will be given to Michel Otanez, who was selected to the active roster Friday. |
Jack LeiterSP · Sep 22Ankle · Surgery · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 22 | 60-Day-IL | Ankle · Surgery · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | Leiter had been shutdown for a couple of weeks after experiencing biceps soreness in his return from June ankle surgery. The right-hander felt good with the session and may throw another bullpen this week before the Rangers make a decision on his next step. |
Jalen BeeksRP · Jul 21Forearm · Surgery · Left · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Jul 21 | 60-Day-IL | Forearm · Surgery · Left | Feb 1, 2027 | It was announced July 4 that Beeks would miss the rest of the 2026 season due to requiring season-ending surgery to repair a flexor tendon in his left forearm. The status of the surgery is yet to be revealed, which still makes his timeline for getting back to full strength unclear. |
Joc PedersonDH · Sep 25Hand · Fracture · Left · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 25 | 10-Day-IL | Hand · Fracture · Left | Feb 1, 2027 | A small fracture in Pederson's left hand ended the 34-year-old's regular season, but it sounds like he's expecting to play Tuesday -- that is, if the Rangers are able to punch their ticket to the playoffs. Pederson put together a resurgent campaign with an .816 OPS and 26 homers after posting a .613 OPS with nine homers in 2025. |
Jose CorniellRP · Jul 29Elbow · Strain · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Jul 29 | 60-Day-IL | Elbow · Strain · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | Corniell gave up five earned runs in just one inning out of the bullpen during Monday's game against the White Sox, and he'll now have to remain on the sidelines until at least Aug. 5 due to his latest injury. The severity of his injury remains unknown, though it's worth noting that the 23-year-old righty underwent Tommy John surgery back in 2024. Marco Gonzales was promoted from Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move. |
Josh Jung3B · Oct 9Hand · Fracture · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Oct 9 | 10-Day-IL | Hand · Fracture · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | He suffered the injury during the final weekend of the regular season when he was hit by a pitch. Jung will be re-evaluated every two weeks to track his progress, per Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com, but the belief is the hand will heal without surgical intervention. Jung had another injury-shortened season in 2026 but was productive when on the field, slashing .299/.365/.462 with 12 homers in 104 games. |
Kyle HigashiokaC · Sep 5Forearm · Strain · Right · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 5 | 10-Day-IL | Forearm · Strain · Right | Feb 1, 2027 | Higashioka began a rehab assignment with the Express, and per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com, the Rangers plan to have him hit only for the time being. When/if he returns to the team, Higashioka will serve as a bench bat. |
Michel OtanezRP · Sep 19Illness · Back Feb 1, 2027 · Sep 19 | 15-Day-IL | Illness | Feb 1, 2027 | Otanez was recalled from Triple-A on Friday, but he won't be able to pitch in the regular season now that he's landed on the injured list. He will be replaced in Texas' bullpen by Adam Macko. |
