Fantasy Impact: Langford played in what could have been his final rehab game on Sunday. He has been on the injured list since May 6

Corey Seager went 2-for-5 with three RBI on Sunday against the Twins.

Fantasy Impact: Seager blasted a pair of home runs. He has now gone deep six times in his past six games.

Gerson Garabito allowed one run on two hits over 3 2/3 innings on Sunday against the Twins.

Fantasy Impact: Garabito added two strikeouts and four walks. He got called up with the starting rotation depleted for Texas. He should get at least one more start to prove himself.

Fantasy Impact: The move allowed the Rangers to call up Gerson Garabito to make the start on Sunday. Anderson will hit the waiver wire and could join a roster in need of bullpen depth.

Ezequiel Duran went 1-for-3 with a home run and an RBI in the Rangers' 5-3 loss to the Twins.

Fantasy Impact: This performance marks Duran's first home run of the season, bringing a slight uptick to his modest power numbers. With a season batting average of .284 and a .308 wOBA, Duran has been a somewhat reliable option in deeper fantasy leagues, primarily due to his batting average and BABIP of .377. However, his low walk rate (.077) and high strikeout rate (.240) continue to limit his upside. Fantasy managers should view Duran as a potential depth piece, particularly in formats that reward extra bases, but should temper expectations given his current power production and plate discipline metrics.

Fantasy Impact: Lorenzen threw some warmup pitches before he was removed from the game. The Rangers should provide an update on his status.

Travis Jankowski is not in the Rangers lineup on Saturday against the Twins.

Fantasy Impact: Jankowski went hitless with one walk in Friday's loss. Evan Carter slides over to right field for Saturday's game against Minnesota.

Jose Urena allowed three earned runs over five innings in a 3-2 loss to the Twins on Friday.

Fantasy Impact: He surrendered nine hits and one walk while striking out six. This performance slightly tarnishes Urena's otherwise solid season metrics, nudging his ERA up to 3.53 and his WHIP to the 1.27 mark. His 6.2 K/9 rate this season remains modest, and while his strikeout numbers this game were decent, they're not enough to excite fantasy managers looking for high strikeout upside. Given his middling strikeout-to-walk ratio and a BABIP that could suggest some regression, Urena remains a risky play in most fantasy formats, suitable mainly for deeper leagues or as a streaming option against less formidable lineups.

Marcus Semien went 1-for-4 with a run scored in the Rangers' 3-2 loss to the Twins.

Fantasy Impact: Despite the minimal impact in this game, Semien's season remains solid, maintaining a .262 average with moderate power contributions. His consistent ability to get on base, evidenced by a .327 wOBA, keeps him relevant in most fantasy formats. However, his low stolen base numbers and average BABIP suggest limited upside in categories outside of runs and occasional RBIs. Fantasy managers should continue to view Semien as a steady, if not spectacular, middle infield option.

Nathan Eovaldi is throwing a bullpen session on Friday. (Source: Kennedi Landry on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: "He's close to pitching. That's where I'll leave it right now. ...Could possibly be a rehab, could be here," Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said. "We haven't determined that yet. We have a good idea of what what we're gonna do. We'll see how it goes today." The Rangers should provide another update on Eovaldi following his bullpen on Friday.

Jonah Heim is in the starting lineup for the Rangers Friday. (Source: Rangers PR on Twitter )

Fantasy Impact: Heim will return to the lineup behind the plate and bat seventh. He is currently hitting .265, with five home runs, and 27 RBI this season.

Adolis Garcia hit a solo home run on Thursday against the Phillies.

Fantasy Impact: Garcia opened the games scoring with a solo blast off Zack Wheeler in the second inning. It was his 12th home run on the season with 36 RBI.

Andrew Heaney allowed four runs (three earned) on nine hits over 3 1/3 innings on Thursday against the Phillies.

Fantasy Impact: Heaney also walked two and struck out one in the outing. He now carries a 4.69 ERA on the season.

The Texas Rangers transferred Cody Bradford to the 60-day IL. (Source: Evan Grant on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Bradford has been sidelined since the middle of April and was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his rib. This was a move to open up a roster spot for Texas.

The Texas Rangers recalled Jesus Tinoco.

Fantasy Impact: Tinoco has not appeared in the majors since the 2022 season. He gets the call-up with Jon Gray placed on the injured list.

Fantasy Impact: Gray was already expected to miss his next start, so a trip on the injured list made sense. He will miss at least the next two weeks due to a groin injury.

Dane Dunning struggled in Wednesday's 11-4 loss to the Phillies, allowing three earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out four over 3.1 innings.

Fantasy Impact: This outing marks a step back for Dunning, whose season had been relatively solid with a 4.43 ERA and a 1.18 WHIP entering the game. His performance today, characterized by an inability to go deep into the game and control damage, could raise concerns about his consistency and durability as a fantasy option.

Leody Taveras went 1-for-4 with a home run and an RBI in the Rangers' 11-4 defeat to the Phillies.

Fantasy Impact: His solo shot provided a rare highlight for Texas in a game where they were largely outplayed. Taveras's season has been a mix of modest highs and lows, with a batting average of .239 in 47 games. His power numbers are not eye-catching, but his third homer of the season might suggest some potential for improvement. However, his overall production remains limited, making him a fringe option in deeper fantasy leagues. His ability to contribute across multiple categories is still in question, and fantasy managers should monitor his performance closely but temper expectations.

Fantasy Impact: Winn gets sent down with Dane Dunning activated from the injured list. He posted a 6.91 ERA over 14 1/3 innings up in the majors in relief with Texas.
