Lora (suspension) was released by the Rangers on Saturday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports. Lora signed with the Rangers for $4.2 million back in 2019 but has only played in 47 games as a professional, all in 2021 and all in the Dominican Summer League. He didn't play last season due to a domestic violence suspension, a ban which will continue into this season.

Lora, who signed with the Rangers as an international free agent in 2019, played in the Dominican Summer League last year and hit .218/.413/.401 with six home runs and 22 RBI in 47 games. The 19-year-old has yet to see the field this season, and it appears that won't be changing anytime soon.
