Rangers sent RHP Michel Otañez outright to Triple-A Round Rock.

Otañez was removed from the club’s 40-man roster on Saturday and passed through waivers unclaimed. He’ll continue to function as additional bullpen depth at the Triple-A level until his services are needed once more by the Rangers.

Rangers optioned RHP Michel Otañez to Triple-A Round Rock.

Otañez was competing for a spot in Texas’ bullpen after a shoulder injury limited him to only 5 1/3 MLB innings in 2025. Unfortunately, he allowed four runs on four hits in 2 1/3 innings so far this spring, so the Rangers will have him begin the season in Triple-A in the hopes of getting back on track.

Rangers claimed RHP Michel Otañez off waivers from the Athletics.

Otañez, 28, had a 3.44 ERA and a 55/20 K/BB in 34 innings for the A’s in 2024, but he missed the start of last season with a shoulder impingement and never was able to contribute. If healthy, he’ll battle for a bullpen spot, but wildness has typically held him back.
