Luis Robert Jr.

CWS Center Fielder #88

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players
Luis Robert Jr. has been dropped to fifth in the White Sox lineup Tuesday.

It’s the lowest he’s hit since May 14, 2023. Robert has three hits the last two days, but he’s having a miserable season to date, having come in at just .186/.281/.308 in 180 plate appearances. Still, we would say it’s rather odd that the White Sox want Josh Rojas (hitting second) and Joshua Palacios (batting third) to perhaps have one more plate appearance that Robert tonight. Rojas is hitting and slugging .158 in 42 plate appearance since coming off the IL.

Rangers recalled INF Cody Freeman from Triple-A Round Rock.

Freeman joins the Rangers for a couple days as a bench bat while Sam Haggerty is away from the club on bereavement leave. The 25-year-old was on the shelf with a stress reaction in his back from the end of spring training until late May. He got into 36 games as a rookie last year.

Gavin Collyer

TEX Relief Pitcher

Rangers optioned RHP Gavin Collyer to Triple-A Round Rock.

Collyer has been an up-and-down, low-leverage relief option for the Rangers this season, posting a serviceable 3.71 ERA, 1.41 WHIP and 14/15 K/BB ratio across 17 innings of work. He’ll likely return in a couple weeks as a fresh middle relief arm.

Sam Haggerty

TEX Left Fielder #0

Rangers placed OF Sam Haggerty on the bereavement list.

Haggerty will be away from the team for a couple days on bereavement leave. The 32-year-old has gotten into 36 games this season as a versatile role player for the Rangers.

Chris Martin

TEX Relief Pitcher #31

Rangers placed RHP Chris Martin on the 15-day injured list, retroactive to May 31, with a right shoulder impingement.

Martin’s absence leaves the Rangers without one of their better high-leverage arms behind Jacob Latz, who has seemingly taken over as the club’s closer. The 39-year-old veteran has dealt with shoulder issues for a couple years and is likely facing a multi-week absence.

Robert Garcia

TEX Relief Pitcher #62

Rangers transferred LHP Robert Garcia to the 60-day injured list.

The procedural move doesn’t impact Garcia’s return timeline since he’s been out with shoulder inflammation since late April. He’ll likely be out until after next month’s All-Star break.

TJ Rumfield

COL 1st Baseman

TJ Rumfield (shoulder) remains out of the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Angels.

Rumfield remains out of Colorado’s lineup after being a late scratch from Sunday’s series finale against the Giants with right shoulder inflammation. The 26-year-old rookie standout missed one game last week with a hand contusion. It’ll be Edouard Julien taking over at the cold corner in his place.

Zach Neto

LAA Shortstop #9

Zach Neto is in the lineup for Monday’s series opener against the Rockies.

Neto checked out fine after a scary-looking collision during Saturday’s contest against the Rays left him with some whiplash side effects. The 25-year-old shortstop went 0-for-4 on Sunday in his return to the lineup. He’s slashing an underwhelming .231/.339/.427 with 10 homers and eight steals in 274 plate appearances over 60 games this season.

Nolan Arenado

AZ 3rd Baseman #28

Nolan Arenado is at third base and hitting cleanup for Monday’s series opener against the Dodgers.

Arenado went 0-for-4 in his return to Arizona’s lineup during Sunday’s game against the Mariners after missing three contests due to a combination of groin and elbow issues. The 35-year-old defensive wizard appears unlikely to miss any additional time moving forward.

Buddy Kennedy

SF 2nd Baseman #41

Giants selected the contract of INF Buddy Kennedy from Triple-A Sacramento.

Kennedy receives his first opportunity with the Giants after signing a minor league contract last offseason. The 27-year-old infielder has appeared in 67 games between five different teams since 2022. He’s struggled to gain any traction at the highest level despite posting some huge numbers at the Triple-A level.

Wilkin Ramos

SF Relief Pitcher #71

Giants selected the contract of RHP Wilkin Ramos from Triple-A Sacramento.

The move is now official. Ramos receives his first call up to the big leagues after compiling a 2.00 ERA, 1.15 WHIP and 27/7 K/BB ratio across 27 innings at the Triple-A level this season. He’ll help San Francisco’s bullpen as a fresh middle relief arm.
