The Texas Rangers have made significant roster changes and faced challenges in their pitching lineup recently. On August 10, 2026, the team placed starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi on the injured list due to elbow inflammation. In response, the Rangers are considering left-hander Jordan Montgomery to fill Eovaldi's spot in the rotation. (en.wikipedia.org)
In a corresponding move, the Rangers promoted outfielder Jarred Kelenic from Triple-A Round Rock and designated infielder Jonah Bride for assignment. Kelenic's promotion is seen as a strategic effort to bolster the team's offensive capabilities during this critical stretch of the season. (en.wikipedia.org)
These roster adjustments come as the Rangers continue their series against the Los Angeles Angels. On August 10, the Rangers secured a 4-1 victory over the Angels, with notable performances from their lineup. The series is set to continue through August 12, with games scheduled at Angel Stadium.
