Rangers call up Alejandro Osuna, put Joc Pederson on IL
May 25 - The Texas Rangers called up top outfield prospect Alejandro Osuna from Triple-A Round Rock to make his major league debut on Sunday afternoon against the host Chicago White Sox. Also Sunday, the Rangers placed designated hitter/first baseman Joc Pederson on the 10-day injured list and designated outfielder Kevin Pillar for assignment. Osuna, 22, was set to bat sixth in the lineup and play in left field against the White Sox. The Rangers' Minor League Player of the Year in 2024, Osuna has combined to bat .279 with two home runs and 15 RBIs over 39 games with Double-A Frisco and Triple-A Round Rock this season. He is listed by MLB Pipeline as the No. 7 overall prospect in the Rangers' system. Pederson, 33, sustained a fractured right hand in Texas' 10-5 loss to the White Sox on Saturday when he was hit by a pitch from Bryse Wilson in the fourth inning. He stayed in the game long enough to score on Marcus Semien's sacrifice fly, but Kyle Higashioka handled the designated hitter role the rest of the way. Signed to a two-year, $37 million deal in the offseason, Pederson is batting a career-low .131 with two homers and six RBIs in 46 games this season. Pillar, 36, hit .209 with no home runs and one RBI over 20 games with the Rangers this season. --Field Level Media

Rangers place outfielder Evan Carter on IL with quad strain, activate Kevin Pillar
ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Texas Rangers placed outfielder Evan Carter on the 10-day injured list Sunday, a day after he was a late scratch with a right quadriceps injury. Outfielder Kevin Pillar was activated from the injured list after being sidelined two weeks by lower back inflammation. Pillar was in the lineup Sunday against the Houston Astros in right field. Manager Bruce Bochy said he expects Carter to be sidelined about two weeks with a quad strain. The 22-year-old was limited to 45 games by a back injury in what was supposed to be his first full big league season last year. Carter, who had a stellar debut in the regular season and the postseason when the Rangers won the 2023 World Series, started this season in the minor leagues as he continued with adjustments in his swing to try to ease the strain on his back. He is hitting .182 in 11 games while mostly playing center field. Pillar played all three outfield positions while appearing in 18 games before the back injury. The 36-year-old is hitting .237. The Rangers recalled right-hander Caleb Boushley from Triple-A Round Rock and sent right-hander Cole Winn to Round Rock four days after Winn was called up and Boushley sent down. It's Boushley's third stint with the Rangers this season. Winn made one appearance. ___ AP MLB:

He found his swing at Round Rock, batting .345 with a 1.063 OPS and four home runs in 14 games. Pillar, 36, went on the IL with lower back inflammation. He was the team's Opening Day center fielder but appeared in just two of the Rangers' seven games before the IL move was made. Pillar is batting .237 with two doubles and one RBI in 18 games. He is a career .255 hitter with 114 homers and 469 RBIs in 1,232 games with 10 teams across 13 seasons. He spent his first six-plus seasons with the Toronto Blue Jays. --Field Level Media
