Rangers' Jake Burger: Knocks in two in win
Burger went 1-for-2 with two walks, two RBI and a run scored in Friday's 7-1 win over the Blue Jays.
Burger finished off Toronto with a run-producing sacrifice fly in the sixth inning followed by a run-scoring double in the eighth. The first baseman is up to a career- and team-high 86 RBI over 147 contests.

Rangers' Sebastian Walcott: Torrid postseason ends Friday
Walcott went 2-for-5 with two stolen bases and one run cored in Double-A Frisco's loss Friday.
The loss ended the RoughRiders postseason run, but Walcott was prominent in the three-game series. He went 4-for-11 with four walks, a solo home run and four steals. His regular season started late due to injury, but the Rangers' top prospect showed he's ready for a promotion to Triple-A Round Rock in 2027. Walcott posted a .329/.404/.608 slash line with 10 home runs, 14 doubles, 21 RBI, 12 steals and 48 runs scored over 39 regular-season contests, including two games in the rookie-level Arizona Complex League.

Rangers' Wyatt Langford: Perfect at plate in win
Langford went 2-for-2 with three walks, one RBI, two runs scored and a stolen base in Friday's 7-1 win over the Blue Jays.
Langford was patient at the plate, scoring after drawing a walk and stealing second in the second inning before driving in a run on a bases-loaded walk in the sixth. It was a needed performance for the 24-year-old, who entered the game hitting just .153 over 15 September contests. On the year, he's slashing .242/.336/.435 with 17 homers, 41 RBI, 62 runs scored and 14 stolen bases across 438 plate appearances.

Rangers' Kumar Rocker: Limited again in no-decision
Rocker did not factor into the decision in Friday's 7-1 win over the Blue Jays, allowing one run on three hits and two walks with two strikeouts over 4.1 innings.
Rocker opened with four scoreless frames before allowing a run in the fifth, throwing 48 of 76 pitches for strikes with only six whiffs. It's clear the Rangers are being cautious with the 26-year-old down the stretch, as he hasn't reached the 80-pitch mark in any of his three September outings. He'll carry a 4.47 ERA, 1.42 WHIP and 134:59 K:BB across 143 innings this season into one final home matchup with the Mets next week.

Rangers' Cole Winn: Moves to 60-day IL
The Rangers transferred Winn (shoulder) to the 60-day injured list Friday.
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.

Rangers' Michel Otanez: Back with Texas
The Rangers promoted Otanez from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday, per Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News.
Otanez will rejoin the big-league club for the first time since being designated for assignment June 13. With Round Rock this season, the right-hander owns a 5-1 record, 4.42 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 74:42 K:BB over 55 innings. Texas optioned Robby Ahlstrom to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Rangers' Robby Ahlstrom: Demoted to Round Rock
Texas optioned Ahlstrom to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday, per Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News.
Ahlstrom will head back to Triple-A after spending just under three weeks with the big-league club. In six games after being called up, the southpaw yielded four earned runs while striking out six over 5.2 innings. The Rangers are recalling Michel Otanez to replace Ahlstrom on the active roster.

Rangers' Joc Pederson: Out of lineup Friday
Pederson (hand) is not in the lineup for Friday's game against the Blue Jays.
Pederson hasn't played since last Saturday but remains day-to-day for Texas. Josh Jung is handling DH duties for the Rangers on Friday, with Ezequiel Duran leading off and playing third base.

Rangers' Joc Pederson: Swelling abates
Pederson (hand) is not yet swinging a bat but the swelling in his left hand has gone done over the past few days, MLB.com reports.
Pederson missed a fourth consecutive game Thursday after suffering a slight fracture of his left hand Saturday when he was hit by a pitch. The first three of those four missed contests were against left-handers, so Pederson would not have been in the starting lineup, and he was replaced at DH on Thursday by Josh Jung against Boston right-hander Sonny Gray. The Rangers are scheduled do face another right-hander Friday, Toronto's Dylan Cease.

Rangers' Jack Leiter: Bullpen session this weekend
Leiter (ankle/biceps) has begun playing catch again and is expected to throw a bullpen session this weekend, MLB.com reports.
Leiter is aiming to rejoin the Rangers during the final week of the regular season as the team pushes for a spot in the postseason. The right-hander, who initially landed on the injured list in June after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right ankle, experienced soreness in his right biceps during a rehab assignment earlier this month.

Rangers' Josh Jung: Belts solo shot
Jung went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Red Sox.
Jung took Sonny Gray deep in the first inning. This was Jung's first homer since the end of June, though he missed a large portion of the second half due to a calf strain. The third baseman has started all five games since he was activated, though he rested his legs as the designated hitter Thursday. He's batting .298 with an .810 OPS, 10 homers, 38 RBI, 50 runs scored, 25 doubles, one triple and one stolen base over 97 contests this year.

Rangers' Jacob Latz: Tagged for homer in blown save
Latz (3-3) allowed a run on one hit and struck out one without walking a batter over one inning to take the loss and a blown save in Thursday's 4-3 loss to the Red Sox.
Latz was called upon in the eighth inning to clean up a mess created by Jakob Junis but couldn't meet the challenge. Trevor Story took him deep for a three-run home run, and the Rangers weren't able to respond. With six runs allowed (five earned) over his last 8.1 innings, Latz is limping to the finish line this season. He still has strong numbers overall, going 30-for-34 in save chances with three holds while pitching to a 2.11 ERA, 0.82 WHIP and 77:22 K:BB through 68.1 innings.

Rangers' Cody Bradford: Effective as bulk reliever
Bradford allowed three hits and a walk while striking out three over 4.1 scoreless innings in a no-decision versus the Red Sox on Thursday.
Bradford did his part in bulk relief, but the bullpen let him down, costing him a chance at his first win of the season. This was his second scoreless outing in eight appearances (seven starts). He has pitched to a 4.19 ERA, 1.50 WHIP and 20:10 K:BB through 38.2 innings so far this season. It's unclear if Bradford will get another turn through the rotation, though the Rangers will have a hole to fill next week if MacKenzie Gore (shoulder) isn't good to go at home against the Mets. Nathan Eovaldi and Bradford would be the candidates to fill that gap, if necessary.

Rangers' Elias Diaz: Out of Texas lineup
Diaz is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest versus the Red Sox.
Diaz had started four straight games (two at catcher, two at designated hitter), but he'll begin Thursday's festivities on the bench. Danny Jansen will do the catching for the Rangers.

Rangers' Cal Quantrill: Ready for next turn in rotation
Quantrill said Thursday that his back is fine, and he will make his next scheduled start this weekend against the Blue Jays, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
Quantrill pitched through some back tightness during his previous start Sunday versus the Diamondbacks, but the issue no longer looks to be a concern. The Rangers haven't yet announced when the right-hander will take the ball, but he'll likely start Saturday. Quantrill has provided an unexpected boost to the Rangers rotation, contributing a 1.82 ERA over his last nine starts.

Rangers' Joc Pederson: Out of Texas lineup
Pederson (hand) is not in the lineup for Thursday's game against the Red Sox.
Pederson suffered a small fracture in his left hand when he was hit by a pitch Saturday. He hasn't played since then, but the Rangers are facing a righty in Sonny Gray for the first time during that span. Pederson is aiming to play through the injury, but clearly he's not feeling well enough to do so just yet. Josh Jung is slotting in at designated hitter for Texas on Thursday.
