The Rangers reinstated Sborz (shoulder) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

Sborz initially landed on the injured list in mid-August due to shoulder fatigue, but after a month of rehab, he's been given the green light to return to Texas' bullpen. The 30-year-old righty allowed five earned runs over just 3.1 innings during his minor-league assignment, but he won't have to worry about pitching under pressure during the final week of the regular season with the Rangers out of the playoff picture. Walter Pennington was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock in a corresponding move.

Pepiot (8-7) took the loss Tuesday against the Tigers, allowing two runs on three hits and four walks over five innings. He struck out six.

While Pepiot struggled with command a bit Tuesday, matching a season high with four walks, he managed to hold Detroit scoreless until Wenceel Perez's two-out, two-run double in the fifth inning. The 27-year-old right-hander has held opponents to two earned runs or fewer in 12 of his last 13 outings, posting a 2.71 ERA in that span (63 innings). Pepiot's ERA now sits at 3.64 through 126 innings this season with a 1.14 WHIP and 137:46 K:BB. He'll look to wrap up the campaign on a high note in his next and final outing, currently scheduled for this weekend in Boston.

The Rangers optioned Pennington to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

Pennington has been solid out of the bullpen since joining the Rangers in August, posting a 2.76 ERA and 1.59 WHIP through 16.1 frames. However, he gave up three earned runs in just two-thirds of an inning during his most recent appearance, which will ultimately cost him his spot on the active roster. Josh Sborz (shoulder) returned from the 15-day IL in a corresponding move to take Pennington's place.

The Rangers placed Duran on the paternity list Tuesday.

Duran will be allowed to miss up to three games while he spends time with his growing family, and he's expected to take over for Josh Jung (wrist) as the Rangers' primary third baseman once he returns. In the meantime, Dustin Harris and Matt Duffy will come up from Triple-A Round Rock to help replenish Texas' infield depth.

The Rangers placed Jung on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with right wrist tendinitis.

Jung's wrist has kept him sidelined for nearly a week, and his move to the IL will officially rule him out for the remainder of the season. With Ezequiel Duran away on paternity leave, Matt Duffy and Dustin Harris will come up from the minors and may see time at third base during the final week of the season.

Adams (knee) is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the White Sox, Erica Weston of Bally Sports West reports.

It's the fourth straight absence for Adams, who was initially scratched from the lineup Friday due to a knee injury. The specifics of the issue are unclear, and every absence is a missed opportunity for playing time with just a few games left in the 2024 regular season.

Meyers is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game versus the Mariners, Matt Kawahara of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Meyers will head to the bench Tuesday after going 3-for-18 while starting the previous six contests. Mauricio Dubon will take over in center field while batting ninth against Seattle righty Logan Gilbert.

Jankowski isn't in the Rangers' lineup for Tuesday's game against Oakland.

Jankowski will take a seat Tuesday after starting in the Rangers' last two games, going 2-for-7 with an RBI and a run scored in the process. Adolis Garcia will get the starting nod in right field instead while Justin Foscue works as the DH.

Duran isn't in Texas' lineup for Tuesday's game against the Athletics.

After going 6-for-13 with an RBI during the Rangers' last series against Seattle, Duran will catch a breather to begin Tuesday's series opener. In his absence, Jonathan Ornelas will start at third base and bat ninth.

Jimenez is out of the lineup for Tuesday's game against the Red Sox.

Jimenez started the previous eight games but will receive a day off after going 4-for-24 with eight strikeouts during that stretch. Davis Schneider will man second base while batting eighth versus Boston righty Brayan Bello.
