The Rangers optioned Fabian to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday. After coming up from the minors and making his MLB debut in early September, Fabian only managed to appear in three games, during which he went 0-for-5. He'll now end up without a spot on the active roster with Ezequiel Duran returning from paternity leave, but Fabian could be a candidate to take on a more prominent role with the Rangers in 2025 after turning in a .809 OPS at Round Rock this season.

Fabian was reassigned to minor-league camp Monday. Fabian struggled against big-league arms over the last few weeks, collecting three hits in 22 at-bats while driving in one and striking out eight times in 18 contests. He'll aim to put this rocky start in the rearview mirror and should join Triple-A Round Rock for the 2024 campaign after slashing .288/.331/.523 with 23 homers, 78 RBI, six stolen bases and 67 runs scored over 117 games with the Express a season ago.

Fabian signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Wednesday that includes an invitation to spring training. Fabian spent the 2023 season at Triple-A Round Rock, slashing .288/.331/.523 with 23 home runs. He's now re-upped with the Rangers and will compete for a reserve role in spring training, but a return to Round Rock is likely.

Fabian left Sunday's game at High-A San Jose after being struck by a pitch in the face, play-by-play announcer Joe Ritzo reports. Fabian was able to get up on his own and walk to a cart, though the extent of his injury is not yet known. He'll be considered day-to-day until further notice.

Fabian (undisclosed) went 0-for-2 with two walks Saturday in a minor-league game against the Arizona League Dodgers. Fabian was sent to the 7-day injured list at the beginning of April due to an undisclosed injury, though it appears he's returned to health. He's 5-for-26 with two home runs and eight RBI over eight games in the Arizona League this season.
