Rangers' Robert Garcia: Battling minor forearm irritation
Rangers general manager Chris Young said Wednesday that Garcia will not throw off the mound for a few days due to nerve irritation in his left forearm, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Garcia will play catch Thursday before the Rangers determine the next steps for the southpaw. Young said that the injury is "nothing we're concerned about," indicating that the club is just exercising caution with Garcia for the start of camp. Acquired from the Nationals over the offseason, Garcia is expected to handle high-leverage innings in the Texas bullpen.

Rangers' JT Chargois: Gets MiLB deal with Texas
The Rangers signed Chargois to a minor-league deal Tuesday.
Chargois pitched for Miami and Seattle in 2024, posting a 3-1 record, 2.23 ERA and 1.02 WHIP across 36 relief appearances. However, despite the impressive numbers, he was designated for assignment by the Mariners in November and will now look to eventually earn a spot in Texas' bullpen.

Rangers' Evan Carter: Candidate to bat leadoff
Carter (back) could be considered for the leadoff spot in the Rangers' lineup, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.
Marcus Semien has started 309 of the Rangers' 324 regular-season games over the last two seasons in the leadoff spot and is the favorite to be at the top of the batting order again. However, he had just a .308 on-base percentage in 2024 and the Rangers are leaving open the possibility of using him in a different spot. Carter has the skill set for a leadoff hitter with his terrific batting eye, but he's not even a given to be a starter right now and needs to show last season's back issues are behind him. The left-handed hitting Carter has struggled mightily versus southpaws, so if he does bat leadoff it would surely only be against right-handers. Carter had an ablation procedure on his back in October but is expected to enter spring training without restrictions.

Rangers' Jon Gray: Being mulled as closer option
The Rangers have had internal discussions about the possibility of using Gray as their closer, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.
Gray said in January that he would be open to the idea of closing if the team asked him to, and it appears it is indeed a possibility. However, Grant writes that, as things stand right now, the innings Gray can provide in the rotation "seem the higher priority." Texas' closer job appears wide open, but it's a situation which could gain further clarity during spring training.

Rangers' Matt Festa: Back with Texas as NRI
The Rangers signed Festa to a minor-league contract Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Festa was traded from the Rangers to the Cubs in January before electing free agency following his removal from Chicago's 40-man roster. Now he's back in Texas, where he posted a 4.37 ERA and 23:7 K:BB over 22.2 innings covering 18 appearances last season.

Rangers' Nick Ahmed: Inks minor-league deal with Texas
The Rangers signed Ahmed to a minor-league contract that includes an invitation to major-league spring training Tuesday.
Ahmed, 34, spent the 2024 campaign splitting action with the Giants, Dodgers and Padres. A glove-first middle infielder, Ahmed slashed .229/.267/.295 with two home runs and 17 runs batted in across 71 regular-season games last year. The veteran will look to win a job behind Marcus Semien, Corey Seager (hip/hernia) and Josh Smith in the middle of the Rangers' infield this spring.

Rangers' Sam Haggerty: Gets NRI from Texas
The Rangers signed Haggerty (Achilles) to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to spring training, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Haggerty underwent surgery last May to repair a torn right Achilles tendon and it's not clear what level of participation he'll have in spring training or the start of the season. The switch-hitting utility player has a career .263/.355/.452 batting line versus left-handed pitching, so he could fill a niche role with the Rangers eventually.

Rangers' Adolis Garcia: On normal progression
Garcia (knee) had a normal offseason progression following eight weeks of rehab after the end of the 2024 season, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Garcia dealt with a left patella tendon injury during the 2024 season, but neither he nor Texas president of baseball operations Chris Young believe it was the cause of the slugger's down year. An All-Star in 2023, Garcia slumped to a .684 OPS last year and started chasing more pitches, dropping from the 42nd percentile to the 17th. He noted there was extra movement in his swing and worked during the offseason to eliminate it.

Rangers' Cody Thomas: Latches on with Texas
Thomas signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Monday.
Thomas spent the 2024 campaign overseas playing in the Japan Western League for the Orix Buffaloes, batting .242 with two home runs, 19 RBI and 18 runs scored in 89 games. He made it to the big leagues with the A's in 2022 and 2023 but appeared in only 29 games over this stretch. Thomas will have a chance to compete against big-league arms during spring training but will presumably open 2025 at Triple-A.

Rangers' Sebastian Walcott: Earns spring training invite
The Rangers have extended Walcott an invitation to big-league camp during spring training.
Walcott won't turn 19 until March, but the Rangers will let their top prospect get his feet wet in spring training after he slashed .265/.344/.452 with 11 home runs and 27 stolen bases between High-A Hickory and Double-A Frisco in 2024. Walcott is likely headed back to Frisco to begin the 2025 campaign.

Rangers' Jesse Chavez: Joins Texas as NRI
The Rangers signed Chavez to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to spring training.
Chavez, 41, showed in 2024 with Atlanta that he still has something left in the tank, posting a 3.13 ERA and 55:19 K:BB over 63.1 regular-season innings. The 17-year veteran should have a decent chance to crack the Rangers' Opening Day roster as a middle reliever.

Rangers' Evan Carter: No restrictions
Carter (back) no longer has any restrictions on what he can do in the field or weight room, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
The promise Carter showed in 2023, when he batted .306 (1.058 OPS) in 23 regular-season games and appeared in 17 postseason games for the eventual World Series champs, never materialized in 2024. The outfielder endured a slow start and then a stress reaction in his back in May. He was eventually shut down after multiple attempts to ramp up. The 22-year-old added strength and bulked up during the offseason in preparation for what is expected to be a normal spring. A healthy Carter should be a regular in the Rangers' outfield, most likely center field.

Rangers' Jon Gray: Would be open to closing
Gray would be open to serving as the Rangers' closer, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
The club has a clear opening at closer, but there's been no indication that Gray might be under consideration for the role. However, a shift to the back end of the bullpen could make some sense for the veteran righty, who has had durability issues. Gray has made seven relief appearances for Texas between the 2023 postseason and 2024 regular season, and in those outings he posted a 1.42 ERA, 0.87 WHIP and 18:3 K:BB over 12.2 innings. Of course, the Rangers could also continue deploying him as a starting pitcher, as Nathan Eovaldi might qualify as the only safe bet in the rotation. Gray had surgery in September to address a nerve issue in his right foot but is expected to be ready for spring training.
