Morning, all!
Right handed pitcher AJ Russell, who the Rangers drafted in the second round last year, has been promoted to Hub City.
Jack Leiter has undergone surgery to remove the os trigonometry bone and the Rangers are confident he will return to the mound this year. The Rangers’ previous experiences with this surgery haven’t had such speedy recoveries, though.
The Rangers don’t really have a clear replacement to step into Leiter’s spot in the rotation.
Cody Bradford and Jordan Montgomery are still
several weeks away from returning to the rotation.
The three starting pitching prospects on the 40 man roster have not had particularly good starts to the 2026 season.
Corey Seager’s return from the concussion protocol is unlikely before Thursday due to today’s early game against the Marlins.
