Injury
The Rangers' relief pitcher goes down mid-season; Winston Santos recalled.
The Rangers placed right-hander Jakob Junis on the 15-day injured list retroactive to July 29 with a left adductor strain. Right-hander Winston Santos was recalled in a corresponding move. Junis, 33, has a 1.76 ERA and 0.72 WHIP across 14 relief appearances this season.
The injury timeline and severity remain unclear per the Rangers' announcement. Junis has been a mainstay in Texas's bullpen for the last decade; his absence will test the depth behind the team's late-inning relief corps heading into the final two months of the regular season.
