RHP (right shoulder fatigue)
Expected return: 2025
This is Sborz’s fourth shoulder-related injured-list stint. He said after his last appearance on Sept. 24 in Oakland that he felt he had figured out the issue, but he didn't appear in a game the rest of the season. He finished the season with a 2.86 ERA across 17 relief appearances. (Last updated: Sept. 28)

3B (right wrist tendinitis)
Expected return: 2025
Jung missed the majority of the year with a fractured right wrist after being hit with a pitch just four games into the regular season. Throughout his rehab, Jung endured discomfort near the surgical site, which slowed his progress until he returned to the active roster on July 29.

That discomfort returned. Jung last played on Sept. 18 against Toronto at Globe Life Field. The hope was for him to return to the lineup during the final road trip of the season, but he instead visited his surgeon in Arizona on Sept. 26 to get a CT scan and figure out the best course of action for the offseason.

Jung hit .264/.298/.421 in 46 games in 2024, but before fracturing his wrist, he was without a doubt the Rangers’ best hitter after going 7-for-17 with two walks, one double, one triple and two homers over the first four games. More >> (Last updated: Sept. 24)

RHP (left hamstring strain)
Expected return:
2025
Scherzer, who is a free agent this offseason, was scratched from his Sept. 21 start against the Mariners with a left hamstring strain. He was added to the 15-day injured list, ending his season and likely his time with the club.

This was Scherzer's third IL stint in 2024 due to offseason back surgery and various arm fatigue and nerve issues throughout the year. He was never able to ramp up to a full workload, and finished the season with a 3.95 ERA in nine starts. (Last updated: Sept. 21)

RHP (right shoulder fatigue)
Expected return:
2025
The Rangers would have liked to keep Ureña on the roster and wait to see how he's feeling, but manager Bruce Bochy explained they couldn’t risk being short in the bullpen for the Sept. 15 series finale against the Mariners.

The veteran finished with 5-8 with a 3.80 ERA over 33 appearances (nine starts) for Texas in 2024. (Last updated: Sept. 15)

RHP Grant Anderson (right ankle contusion)
Expected return:
2025
Anderson was hit with a comebacker off the bat of the Yankees’ Jazz Chisholm in the ninth inning of the Rangers’ win on Sept. 4. He limped off the field as the comebacker knocked him out of the game. The right-hander allowed 24 runs across 26 2/3 innings with the big league club in 2024, rounding out to an 8.10 ERA. He's also spent time at Triple-A Round Rock, posting a 2.96 ERA.

60-DAY INJURED LIST

RHP (right shoulder stiffness)
Expected return: 2025
Mahle returned to the big leagues in 2024 after a long Tommy John rehab. In his first three starts, he allowed seven runs in 12 2/3 innings, striking out 10 and walking four. His velocity was slightly down in his last start against the Twins, but the Rangers weren’t initially concerned after he landed on the injured list with right shoulder stiffness.

Mahle, 29, is under contract through the 2025 season. He was transferred to the 60-day IL on Sept. 24. (Last updated: Sept. 24)

SS (sports hernia)
Expected return: 2025
Seager, who was placed on the 10-day IL with hip discomfort on Sept. 4, underwent surgery on Sept. 13 to treat a sports hernia on his right side, ending his season. It's the same procedure he underwent on his left side in January; barring complications, he will be back at full strength by Spring Training. More >> (Last updated: Sept. 20)

RHP (right foot neuroma)
Expected return: 2025
Gray had two injured list stints in 2024, but both were groin-related. According to the Mayo Clinic, a foot neuroma is “a condition that affects the ball of your foot, that makes it feel as if you are standing on a pebble in your shoe. It involves the thickening of the tissue around one of the nerves leading to your toes, causing a sharp pain in the ball of your foot.”

Gray, 32, struggled through much of the season, posting a 4.47 ERA in 102 2/3 innings. He is under contract through the 2025 season. (Last updated: Sept. 3)

OF (lower back soreness)
Expected return: 2025
Carter, who was transferred to the 60-day IL on July 29, missed the remainder of the season after an exam by a specialist revealed his sore back needs more rest.

Carter missed seven games from May 11-17 with back soreness, but he initially returned without an IL stint. The Rangers then placed Carter on the injured list on May 28. While a return looked possible when he rejoined the club around the All-Star break and ramped up activities, Carter didn't feel healthy enough for a rehab stint, which prompted the shutdown.

RHP (right shoulder sprain)
Expected return: 2025
The Rangers announced on June 23 that Winn would go to the Major League 15-day IL with right shoulder discomfort, retroactive to June 18. Winn was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on June 18, but informed the club that he was experiencing shoulder discomfort after he rejoined the Express. Team doctors then determined that he had a right shoulder sprain, and he was moved to the 60-day IL on June 26.

His last outing before the injury was with the big league club, so his option is now voided. (Last updated: June 26)

RHP (Tommy John surgery)
Expected return: 2025
Coleman was selected by the Rangers in the 2023 Rule 5 Draft from the Yankees. He did not pitch in 2023 while recovering from Tommy John surgery. In 2022, Coleman was named the Eastern League “Reliever of the Year” after going 2-3 with 15 saves and a 2.86 ERA across 35 relief appearances for Double-A Somerset. (Last updated: March 9)
