Overview
- The Rangers placed reliever Jakob Junis on the injured list with a right hip impingement and activated Chris Martin from the 15-day IL to take his roster spot.
- The team announced left-hander Jalen Beeks has a strained flexor tendon and will undergo season-ending surgery after experiencing elbow soreness during a rehab stint.
- Club officials and beat writers say Junis is expected to miss only the minimum IL time and could return after the All-Star break.
- Chris Martin has been activated despite multiple IL stints this season and has struggled when healthy, recording a 7.84 ERA and a 6.40 FIP in limited work.
- With Beeks lost for the year and Robert Garcia already on the 60-day IL, the Rangers now face a thin bullpen that may prompt more roster moves or internal call-ups and could weaken their late-inning stability.
