The Texas Rangers are on the fringe of contention in the AL West, and have their bullpen in mind as the MLB trade deadline inches closer.

Rangers second baseman Marcus Semien stayed in the game and scored on a go-ahead single after a 94.6 mph fastball hit the ear flap of his helmet while he was batting in the third inning Saturday night against the Atlanta Braves.

Outfielder Sam Haggerty has been activated from the 10-day injured list ahead of Friday’s game against Atlanta, the Rangers announced. In a corresponding move, the Rangers are optioning Cody Freeman to Triple-A Round Rock.

Adolis García, who led the team with 39 home runs in 2023, is hitting .232 with 13 home runs in 96 games. The Rangers have shifted García around in the lineup, even removing him from the lineup at times for mental breaks and to work on his mechanics.

Texas still holds the best team ERA in baseball and by a good margin, 3.18 to the second-place Royals' 3.50. The bullpen of mixed parts and pieces remains among the best in baseball, their ERA second in MLB behind the Astros.
