News
	Jakob Junis will open for the Rangers on Monday against the Diamondbacks. Ari Koslow Mon, May 11th	The Yankees recalled RHP Jake Bird from Triple-A Scranton/Wilkes-Barre. Ari Koslow Wed, Apr 22nd
	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	Jake Bird and the New York Yankees have avoided arbitration with Bird set to make $975K in 2026. David Leisering Sat, Jan 10th
	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
	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
	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
