Reds released OF Sam Haggerty.

The 32-year-old outfielder had been with the Reds on a minor league deal that he signed in mid-June. Haggerty hit just .205/.293/.273 with one homer, five RBI and a pair of stolen bases in 99 plate appearances during his time at Triple-A Louisville. He’s now free to peddle his wares on the open market.

Reds signed OF Sam Haggerty to a minor league contract.

Rangers released OF Sam Haggerty.

Haggerty passed through waivers unclaimed and hits the open market following a two-year stint with the Rangers where he got into exactly 100 games for the club. The 32-year-old still makes sense as a bench outfielder and should be able to find a new opportunity relatively quickly.

Rangers activated OF Sam Haggery from the bereavement list; designated him for assignment.

Haggerty returns from bereavement leave only to lose his spot on the Rangers’ 40-man roster following the return of Wyatt Langford. It’s possible that the versatile 32-year-old could slide through waivers unclaimed and continue to function as extra depth for the Rangers at Triple-A Round Rock.

Sam Haggerty went 3-for-3 and knocked in all of the Rangers’ runs Saturday in a 3-2 win over the Cubs.

Haggerty had an RBI single in the second and a two-run double in the fourth before being lifted for a pinch-runner. His chances of claiming a bench spot already improved earlier in the day with the reveal that Cody Freeman would likely open up on the injured list. The switch-hitting utilityman batted .253/.328/.370 in 182 plate appearances for the Rangers last season.

Cody Freeman will be out 4-6 weeks after being diagnosed with a lower back fracture.

Rangers manager Skip Schumaker told reporters Freeman will be shut down for at least the next month before resuming baseball activities. The versatile 25-year-old got into 36 games for Texas as a rookie last year and was in line to open the season in a bench role. His absence makes it much easier for someone like Sam Haggerty or Michael Helman to secure a spot on the club’s season-opening roster.

Rangers avoided arbitration with OF Sam Haggerty by agreeing to a one-year contract.

Haggerty will stick around after being a relatively solid bench option for the Rangers in 2025. The 31-year-old can play the outfield and infield and will likely do the same in 2026.

Sam Haggerty (ankle) is slated to begin a rehab assignment with Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

Haggerty has been out of action since the middle of August due to inflammation in his ankle. The 31-year-old could return to the Texas roster at this point next week, and he’d likely see time in the outfielder against left-handed pitching.
