This page will be updated throughout the year with all the latest Rangers injury news and transactions.

Back around this time two years ago, we made bold predictions about who would be the No. 1 prospect for each organization today. Now it’s time to review our prognosticating skills. A couple of disclaimers: A baker’s dozen of our current No. 1 prospects had yet to enter pro ball,

SURPRISE, Ariz. -- Corey Seager and Marcus Semien were signed to a pair of megadeals ahead of the 2022 season, hoping to lead the Rangers to the promised land. They accomplished that, helping Texas to the first World Series title in franchise history in 2023. But just two years and

Many of these teams

SURPRISE, Ariz. -- On Saturday evening, Mark Canha was playing in the backyard with his wife and kids at their house in Phoenix. Then, his agent texted. The Rangers had called. Could he be in Surprise on Sunday? “I said, ‘All right, it’s go time, let’s go to start Spring

The Rangers reunited with a pitcher from their 2023 World Series triumph, agreeing to a one-year deal with left-hander Jordan Montgomery on Friday. Terms of the deal were not announced, but it's been reported that the contract is for $1.25 million. To make room for Montgomery on the club’s 40-man

SURPRISE, Ariz. -- The Skip Schumaker Era officially began on Tuesday as Rangers pitchers and catchers held their first workout to open Spring Training. But for Skip, that means not too much of Skip.
