Rangers Designate Marco Gonzales for Assignment

The Texas Rangers have designated left-hander Marco Gonzales for assignment, activating Jakob Junis from the 15-day injured list ahead of their game against the Athletics.

Gonzales had his contract selected recently and made a brief appearance, achieving two outs on a single pitch in his only outing. This marks his second designation for assignment with the Rangers, having previously been removed from the roster in late July before opting for free agency and signing a minor league deal with the team.

In his first stint with the Rangers, Gonzales allowed one earned run over six innings, returning to the majors after recovering from elbow surgery in 2025. The Rangers are managing their roster due to injuries, with Nathan Eovaldi on the injured list and Jacob deGrom dealing with a triceps issue.
