The Texas Rangers are actively updating their injuries and roster moves page throughout the offseason, keeping fans informed about the team’s status. Currently, the Rangers have reached the 40-man limit on their Major League roster, with six players on the 60-day injured list: Evan Carter, Carson Coleman, Jon Gray, Tyler Mahle, Corey Seager, and Cole Winn. These players are expected to return to the roster following the conclusion of the World Series, adding depth and talent back to the team.
Latest Injury Updates
Josh Sborz is dealing with right shoulder fatigue and is expected to be out until 2025. This marks Sborz’s fourth stint on the injured list for shoulder-related issues. After his last appearance on September 24, he expressed optimism about addressing his condition, but he didn’t pitch again that season. He concluded the year with a commendable 2.86 ERA over 17 relief appearances.
Josh Jung, who has been sidelined with right wrist tendinitis, is also looking at a 2025 return. Jung faced significant challenges this season, having missed most of it due to a fractured wrist from a pitch just four games in. After returning on July 29, he experienced a setback, which led him to consult his surgeon for further evaluation on September 26. Jung had started strong, hitting .264 in 46 games, but his injury issues limited his contributions.
Max Scherzer, who has a left hamstring strain, is another key player facing an uncertain future. His injury forced him out of his September 21 start and ended both his season and possibly his time with the Rangers, as he is a free agent this offseason. Scherzer’s year was marred by multiple injury setbacks, leading to a 3.95 ERA over nine starts.
José Ureña and Grant Anderson are also on the injured list with shoulder fatigue and an ankle contusion, respectively. Ureña’s situation was particularly pressing, as the team could not afford to be short in the bullpen during crucial late-season games.
On the 60-day injured list, Tyler Mahleis recovering from right shoulder stiffness after a long return from Tommy John surgery, while Corey Seager is out due to a sports hernia that required surgery. Seager’s procedure mirrors one he underwent earlier in the year, but he is expected to be back to full strength by Spring Training. Jon Gray is dealing with a foot neuroma, which has affected his performance throughout the season.
Evan Carter is grappling with lower back soreness, which led to his early-season shutdown after an attempt to return post-injury. Finally, Carson Coleman is recovering from Tommy John surgery after not pitching in 2023.
With these injuries, the Rangers face significant challenges, but the expected return of these players could reshape the team’s dynamics heading into the next season. Fans will be eager to see how these developments unfold and impact the Rangers’ roster moving forward.
