The Texas Rangers begin their last-ditch efforts to get back into the postseason race on Friday, and they'll be doing it with a new veteran on the roster. No, Chris Young hasn't swung any trades yet, but the team did call up former division rival Rowdy Tellez.
Tellez was called up to replace Jake Burger, who is embarking on his second IL stint of the 2025 season. Between his injuries and early-season struggles, Burger's first season in Globe Life hasn't turned out how anyone would have hoped. Now, the team finds itself hoping Tellez can provide an offensive boost for the final 65 games of the year.
