| Jakob Junis will open for the Rangers on Monday against the Diamondbacks. Ari Koslow Mon, May 11th | Cole Sulser has begun throwing live batting practice and is reportedly doing well, according to Tampa Bay Rays manager Kevin Cash. Cash indicated Sulser could return to the active roster “pretty soon” if his progression continues without setbacks. Nicholas Rodriguez Sat, May 30th | |
| Junis has yet to allow a run across eight innings this season and has converted a save in each of his last three appearances. The Rangers have been using a closer-by-committee approach, with Junis working his way to the front of that group. Bruno Mulé Mon, Apr 13th | The Rays placed Cole Sulser on the 15-day injured list due to a low back strain. Ari Koslow Mon, May 18th | |
| Junis has now earned saves in back-to-back days for Texas, entering Tuesday's ninth inning against Seattle with a one-run lead. He allowed two base hits before recording two fly outs and a groundout to close it out. Bruno Mulé Wed, Apr 8th | Cole Sulser threw 12 pitches in a scoreless ninth inning to earn his second save of the season. Nicholas Rodriguez Wed, May 6th | |
| Junis recorded his second save of the season Monday against Seattle, retiring the heart of the Mariners' order in a four-pitch ninth inning. He got Cal Raleigh to ground out, hit Julio Rodríguez with a pitch, then induced a game-ending double play from Josh Naylor. Bruno Mulé Tue, Apr 7th | Cole Sulser allowed no runs on one hit and one walk while striking out two in Tuesday’s 1-0 win over the Cleveland Guardians, recording his first save of the season. Nicholas Rodriguez Wed, Apr 29th | |
| Jakob Junis has signed a one-year contract with the Texas Rangers that also includes a mutual option for 2027. The deal will become official once the Rangers make a corresponding move to clear a space on the 40-man roster. David Leisering Sun, Jan 18th | Cole Sulser will open for the Rays on Wednesday against the White Sox. Ari Koslow Wed, Apr 15th | |
