Rangers Shuffle Roster: Otañez Joins, Winn to IL
19 Sep
Summary
- Michel Otañez called up from Triple-A Round Rock, filling a roster spot.
- Cole Winn moved to 60-day IL, ending his regular season due to injury.
- Robby Ahlstrom also optioned to Triple-A, likely ending his season.
With the regular season winding down, the Texas Rangers have made significant roster changes. Right-handed pitcher Michel Otañez was officially added to the team's roster after being selected from Triple-A Round Rock.
This move involved placing injured pitcher Cole Winn on the 60-day injured list due to a right rotator cuff strain, which concludes his regular season. Additionally, left-handed pitcher Robby Ahlstrom has been optioned to Round Rock. Ahlstrom's move to the minors, with only nine games left in the season, likely marks the end of his major league involvement for the year.
Otañez brings some Major League experience from 2024 and 2025, though his big league numbers varied. He has handled a significant workload in Triple-A this season. Winn, who struggled earlier in the year before his injury, had a promising 2025 season but faced setbacks. Ahlstrom, a rookie, debuted in June and contributed to the team's bullpen.
