Rangers Place Curvelo, Martin on Injured List, Select Collyer and Quantrill from Round Rock

By | April 15, 2026

West Sacramento, Calif. — The Texas Rangers today announced the following transactions prior to Wednesday night’s game against the Athletics at Sutter Health Park:

To make room for Collyer and Quantrill on the Rangers 40-man roster, left-handed pitcher Cody Bradford has been transferred to the 60-day Injured List and right-handed pitcher Marc Church has been designated for assignment.

Curvelo, 25, exited the mound after throwing two pitches during the 7th inning of Texas' 2-1 defeat to the Athletics last night at Sutter Health Park. The Venezuela native has yielded 3 earned runs in 5.0 innings spanning 4 relief appearances for the Rangers since being recalled from Round Rock on April 5 after Carter Baumler was placed on the Injured List.

Martin, 39, most recently appeared last night against the A's, entering with 2 outs in the top of the 5th inning and fanning his lone batter faced (Max Muncy). The 11-year Major League veteran has posted a 7.11 ERA (5 ER/6.1 IP) with no walks and 7 strikeouts over 8 relief appearances for Texas in 2026, including scoreless outings in 3 of his last 4 games since April 5 (1 ER/3.2 IP in span).

The 24-year-old Collyer is seeking his Major League debut after he was re-signed by Texas to a minor league contract on December 16, 2025. In 6 relief appearances with Round Rock this season, the right-hander has gone 1-0 with one save, a 2.70 ERA (2 ER/6.2 IP), 1.05 WHIP, .208 opponent batting avg. (5-24), and just 2 walks compared to 11 strikeouts. He has yet to permit a run in April (4 G/4.1 IP) after yielding a single tally in each of his first two outings of 2026.

After receiving an invitation to Texas' 2026 Major League Spring Training camp, Collyer appeared 8 times for the Rangers in Cactus League play and pitched to a 4.15 ERA (4 ER/8.2 IP) while notching one save. His 4-seam fastball averaged 98.0 mph in those outings, the highest mark among Rangers hurlers this spring, ahead of Jacob deGrom (97.4 mph). The Lawrenceville, Georgia native is in his seventh professional season (all with the Rangers org.) and owns a career 19-24 record, 18 saves, and 4.33 ERA in 180 games/44 starts with Texas affiliates after he was selected in the 12th round of the 2019 MLB draft from Mountain View (Ga.) H.S.

Quantrill, 31, has made 3 starts for Triple-A Round Rock this season, posting a 5.14 ERA (8 ER/14.0 IP), 1.07 WHIP, .212 opponent batting average, 4 walks, and 13 strikeouts. The right-hander has permitted just one earned run in 12.0 innings over his last 2 starts for the Express on April 4 vs. Gwinnett (5.0 IP, 0 ER) and Friday at Oklahoma City (7.0 IP, 1 ER), as the latter outing netted him Pacific Coast League Pitcher of the Week honors for April 6-12. He currently ranks 9th among PCL qualifiers in both opponent batting avg. and WHIP.

Signed by Texas as a non-roster invitee to 2026 Major League Spring Training camp on February 1, Quantrill started 3 Cactus League 'A' games for the Rangers this spring in addition to one start for Team Canada in the 2026 World Baseball Classic on March 11 at Cuba (W, 5.0 IP, 2 H, 1 R-0 ER, 1 BB, 5 SO, 67 pitches/43 strikes). He had previously signed with Texas as a minor league free agent on September 7, 2025, and reported to Round Rock where he made 2 starts for the Express from September 11-17, 2025.

The Port Hope, Ontario, Canada native will be seeking his Rangers debut and his first Major League action since 2025 when he amassed 24 starts with Miami and Atlanta. Quantrill has appeared in the Majors in each of the last seven seasons (2019-25), posting a 47-46 career record with a 4.35 ERA, 1.33 WHIP, and .263 opponent batting average over 187 games/149 starts for San Diego (2019-20), Cleveland (2020-23), Colorado (2024), Miami (2025), and Atlanta (2025).

Bradford, 28, was originally placed on the 15-day Injured List on March 25, retroactive to March 22, while recovering from left elbow surgery, performed in June 2025.

Church, 25, went 0-1 with a 7.71 ERA (4 ER/4.2 IP) in 5 relief appearances for Round Rock this season after he was optioned to Triple-A from Texas’ Major League Spring Training on March 16. The Rangers have seven days to trade, release, or outright Church to the minor leagues.

With today’s transactions, the Rangers remain at the 40-man limit on the club’s Major League roster, along with two players on the 60-day Injured List (LHPs Cody Bradford and Jordan Montgomery).
