| Jakob Junis will open for the Rangers on Monday against the Diamondbacks. Ari Koslow Mon, May 11th | The Mets have reassigned right-hander Ryan Lambert to minor league camp. Brenton Kemp Sun, Mar 15th | |
| 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 | Lambert compiled a 1.62 ERA and 1.16 WHIP with 81 strikeouts and 17 walks across 50 innings between High-A Brooklyn and Double-A Binghamton in 2025. His professional experience has not extended beyond the Double-A level. Bruno Mulé Mon, Mar 9th | |
| 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 | ||
