The Rangers returned Coleman (elbow) to the Yankees on Tuesday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
The Rangers selected Coleman in the 2023 Rule 5 Draft, but he never pitched for Texas while recovering from a procedure he underwent on his right elbow in April 2023. Because he never played, he'll now return to his previous organization and will remain without a spot on New York's 40-man roster.

Rangers' Carson Coleman: Chosen in Rule 5 Draft
Rotowire
The Rangers selected Coleman (elbow) during the 2023 Rule 5 Draft on Wednesday.
Coleman sat out the entirety of last season while recovering from elbow surgery, so it's not much of a surprise the Yankees didn't add him to their 40-man roster ahead of the Rule 5 Draft. The 25-year-old had a 2.86 ERA in 35 games at the Double-A level in 2022, and he will need to be up with the Rangers for the entirety of the upcoming campaign in order for the club to retain him.
