Boushley

The 32-year-old hurler will be guaranteed $900,000 on the deal and has the potential to earn another $100,000 in performance-based incentives. Boushley made 25 appearances for the Rangers in 2025, registering an uninspiring 6.02 ERA, 1.57 WHIP and a 41/14 K/BB ratio across 43 1/3 innings of work.

You’d be excused for not knowing any of these players were even on Tampa Bay’s 40-man roster; the five pitchers combined to throw 6 1/3 innings for the Rays last season and Fairchild was hurt one day after being acquired from the Braves in July. Faedo, who was acquired from the Tigers in February, ended up missing the entire season with shoulder problems after a rehab assignment in July went badly.

Boushley had a 6.02 ERA and a 41/14 K/BB in 43 1/3 innings for the Rangers before being designated for assignment on Sunday. The 31-year-old has options left, so the Rays don’t have to bring him to the majors — and they didn’t immediately clear a spot on the active roster for him — but they’ll want to take a look at him to see if he’s going to be worth keeping around this winter.

Texas has decided to move on from Boushley as a middle relief innings-eater after he compiled an underwhelming 6.02 ERA across 43 1/3 innings over 25 appearances for the Rangers this season. The 31-year-old journeyman figures to pass through waivers unclaimed in the coming days.

Boushley returns to the big leagues with ace Nathan Eovaldi (shoulder) likely to miss the rest of the season. The 31-year-old righty holds an inflated 5.22 ERA across a career-high 39 2/3 innings (21 appearances, one start) this season in the majors.

Boushley has been shipped back to the minors after allowing three runs over three innings on Wednesday in a spot start against the Royals in place of an injured Jacob deGrom (shoulder). The 31-year-old righty holds an inflated 5.22 ERA across a career-high 39 2/3 innings (21 appearances, one start) this season in the majors.

Boushley was yanked from the bullpen to make a spot start here in place of Jacob deGrom, who was skipped with what the team called shoulder fatigue. He fared just about as well as someone who hasn’t made a start all season and pitched in relief on Monday could be expected to. He will likely move back to the bullpen after this.

Boushley is back with the Rangers in the wake of Jon Gray hitting the injured list with a nerve-related issue in his shoulder. The 31-year-old righty has compiled a serviceable 5.05 ERA across 35 2/3 innings over a career-high 19 appearances this season at the major-league level.

Boushley was shipped back to the minors ahead of Friday’s game against the Mariners. The 31-year-old righty holds a pedestrian 5.05 ERA across 35 2/3 innings over a career-high 19 appearances this season at the big-league level.

The 31-year-old hurler has already appeared in 15 games out of the Rangers’ bullpen this season, registering a 5.04 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and a 29/5 K/BB ratio over 30 1/3 innings of work. He’ll add a fresh arm to the club’s bullpen for Friday night’s showdown against the Astros.
