Rotoworld Player News

Sebastian Walcott

TEX Shortstop #89

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Rangers SS prospect Sebastian Walcott was named to the Arizona Fall League All-Star Game.

Walcott is hitting .316/.369/.474 in 13 games with 20 RBI, nine steals, and a 14/6 K/BB ratio. The 20-year-old missed the majority of the minor league season after shoulder surgery but has looked good this fall. He should begin the 2027 season at Triple-A with a real chance to debut for the Rangers by mid-season.
José Buttó

TEX Relief Pitcher #70

Rangers claimed RHP José Buttó off waivers from the Giants.

Buttó, who is coming off surgery to remove a blood clot from his right armpit, provides the Rangers with some additional relief depth heading into next season. The 28-year-old righty holds a career 3.76 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 185/99 K/BB ratio across 189 innings since the start of 2022.
Michael Helman

TEX Center Fielder #23

Rangers sent OF Michael Helman outright to Triple-A Round Rock.

Helman passed through waivers unclaimed after being removed from Texas’ 40-man roster at the outset of the offseason. He figures to elect free agency to search for a new opportunity. The versatile 30-year-old makes sense in a bench role, but he doesn’t project as a viable everyday option at this stage of his career.
Evan Carter

TEX Center Fielder #32

Evan Carter underwent arthroscopic surgery on his right hip at the end of October to address a labral injury and a hip impingement.

Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young revealed that Carter will not be ready for the start of the 2027 season. It’s another concerning injury development for the talented 24-year-old whose body has been unable to hold up to the rigors of a full MLB season.
Aidan Curry

TEX Starting Pitcher

Rangers selected the contract of RHP Aidan Curry from Double-A Frisco.

Curry, who could have become a minor league free agent, gets a spot on the 40-man after posting a 4.93 ERA and a 128/55 K/BB in 104 innings between three levels in 2026, with about two-thirds of his innings coming in Double-A. He has a starter’s arsenal and plenty of ability to miss bats, but he’s still probably going to be a reliever in the majors until his command takes a big step forward.
Sebastian Walcott

TEX Shortstop #89

Sebastian Walcott went 3-for-6 with a double and five RBI in the Saguaros 17-5 win over the Scorpions in Thursday’s Arizona Fall League play.

Walcott’s .300/.362/.460 line in Arizona isn’t much better than the league average, but it’s still encouraging from a 20-year-old who missed most of 2026. He also picked up his ninth steal in 10 tries Thursday.
Sebastian Walcott

TEX Shortstop #89

Rangers SS prospect Sebastian Walcott went 2-for-5 with a double, an RBI, and a stolen base in Arizona Fall League action on Monday.

In 10 AFL games, Walcott is hitting .231/.319/.385, but he does have 11 RBI and eight steals. The 20-year-old missed the majority of the season after undergoing elbow surgery, so he needs to continue to get his timing back at the plate, but his raw tools are on display. He should start the 2027 season at Triple-A but has a real shot to fight for MLB at-bats.
Keyber Rodriguez

TEX Shortstop

Keyber Rodriguez homered twice and walked Friday for Aragua of the Venezuelan Winter League.

The 25-year-old Rodriguez is just 6-for-30 so far, but he’s tied for the league lead with four homers. Rodriguez has been in the Rangers system since 2018, and he hit .268/.325/.459 with 19 homers between Double- and Triple-A this season. Barring a surprising decision to add him to the 40-man, he’ll be eligible for minor league free agency after the World Series.
Sebastian Walcott

TEX Shortstop #89

Rangers SS prospect Sebastian Walcott went 2-for-4 with an RBI in Arizona Fall League action on Friday.

The biggest name in the entire fall showcase circuit, Walcott finished last season with a cup of coffee at Triple-A Round Rock after slashing .322/.398/.586 with nine homers and 11 steals in 171 plate appearances for Double-A Frisco. The 20-year-old prodigy added some additional muscle while recovering from elbow surgery back in the spring and has looked like one of the top prospects in baseball again. He’s a long shot to break camp in the majors next spring, but he figures to arrive as Texas’ shortstop of the future by midseason.
Josh Jung

TEX 3rd Baseman #6

The Rangers announced Friday that Josh Jung will not require surgery to repair his fractured right hand.

Jung suffered a right-hand fracture during the final week of September when he was drilled by a 95-mph fastball from Joe Ryan. He’ll still need some time to recover, but it’s not expected to interfere with his regular off-season routine. Expect the 28-year-old infielder to be fully recovered and ready to go for the start of spring training.
