Rotowire
The Rangers claimed Butto (arm) off waivers from the Giants on Monday.
Butto missed nearly all of this past season while recovering from two surgeries to address a blood clot and artery in his right arm. It's unclear where the right-handed reliever is at in his rehab. Butto holds a career 3.76 ERA and 185:99 K:BB over 189 innings at the big-league level.

Rangers' Evan Carter: Undergoes hip surgery
Rotowire
Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young said Monday that Carter will not be ready for Opening Day next season after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his right hip last week to address a labral injury and a hip impingement, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Per Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News, Young added of Carter that the Rangers "expect him to play" most of next season, though it's uncertain how long exactly he'll be out. It's also unclear how long Carter has had the hip issue or if it's related to his chronic back problems. The 24-year-old outfielder slashed .194/.288/.315 with nine home runs and 17 stolen bases over 141 games for the Rangers this season.

Rangers' Aidan Curry: Added to 40-man
Rotowire
The Rangers selected Curry's contract from Double-A Frisco on Friday, Joel Sherman of the New York Post reports.
Curry pitched at three different levels this season and finished with a 5.02 ERA and 1.38 WHIP across 104 total innings. The 24-year-old righty is no longer eligible to be selected in the Rule 5 Draft now that he's captured a 40-man spot, and he'll likely have a chance to capture a spot in Texas' Opening Day bullpen during spring training.
Rangers' Sebastian Walcott: Working out in outfield
Rotowire
Walcott has been going through drills in the outfield and aims to start a game there before the end of the Arizona Fall League, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Shortstop is Walcott's primary position, and he's also seen some action at third base. He's never played the outfield in pro ball, but it would offer an alternate path to playing time if the Rangers keep Corey Seager at shortstop. Walcott missed much of the 2026 season while recovering from internal brace surgery, but he slashed .325/.401/.590 in 41 games after returning and is hitting .259/.333/.444 in his first seven AFL contests. The top prospect will not turn 21 until March, but Walcott is expected to debut in 2027, and perhaps sooner rather than later.
Rangers' Danny Jansen: Undergoes minor hand operation
Rotowire
Jansen underwent surgery Wednesday to remove a bone growth from his right hand, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
It's a minor operation that's not expected to affect Jansen's offseason workouts. Jansen slashed .203/.296/.381 with eight home runs over 67 games for the Rangers this season. As things stand currently, the 31-year-old Jansen seems likely to open the 2027 campaign as the Rangers' top catcher.

Rangers' Josh Jung: Avoids hand surgery
Rotowire
Jung is does not need surgery to repair the non-displaced fracture in his right hand, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
He suffered the injury during the final weekend of the regular season when he was hit by a pitch. Jung will be re-evaluated every two weeks to track his progress, per Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com, but the belief is the hand will heal without surgical intervention. Jung had another injury-shortened season in 2026 but was productive when on the field, slashing .299/.365/.462 with 12 homers in 104 games.

Rangers' Corey Seager: Undergoes minor elbow surgery
Rotowire
Seager underwent surgery Tuesday to remove a bone spur from his right elbow, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young noted following the conclusion of the regular season that Seager could require an operation after battling through the elbow issue for months, and that's indeed what's happened. While the Rangers might ease Seager into things at the start of spring training, he should be fine for Opening Day. The 32-year-old shortstop had arguably his worst season in 2026, slashing .227/.312/.424 with 20 home runs in 102 tilts.
Osorio (undisclosed) was activated from the 7-day injured list Sept. 21.
Osorio landed on the 7-day IL on July 24 due to an undisclosed injury and missed the remainder of the 2026 campaign, though it appears he's healthy heading into the offseason. He began the year at Single-A Hickory before finishing the season at High-A Hub City, where he slashed .275/.370/.489 with eight home runs, 22 RBI and 23 runs in 34 games.

Rangers' Corey Seager: Might require minor elbow surgery
Rotowire
Rangers president of baseball operations Chris Young said Monday that Seager could require minor offseason surgery for a bone spur in his elbow "that he's dealt with for a few months," Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
It's not a given that Seager will choose the surgical route, but if he does, the expectation is that he will be fully recovered in time for the start of spring training. Injuries limited Seager to 102 games for the second season in a row, and he regressed at the plate year-over-year, finishing with a .227/.312/.424 batting line with 20 home runs during the 2026 campaign.
