The veteran lefthander joins his sixth different team in, what will be, his eighth major league season in 2026. Beeks had a solid year with the Diamondbacks last season, posting a 3.77 ERA in 61 appearances. He allowed only 42 hits in 57.1 innings with 47 strikeouts. Beeks has a career ERA of 4.31 in 405 innings with the Red Sox, Rays, Rockies, Pirates, and Diamondbacks. He'll be a solid lefthanded option out of the Rangers bullpen in 2026.

The Diamondbacks activated LHP Jalen Beeks off the 15-day injured list.

Beeks returns from a multi-month absence due to inflammation in his back. He should return to a high-leverage role in the bullpen for Arizona.

Beeks has been active lately, throwing a 23-pitch bullpen session on July 18, a 31-pitch bullpen on July 22 and a 23-pitch live batting practice session on July 25. While he's eligible to return from the injured list, he may complete a rehab assignment before being activated.

Diamondbacks manager Torey Lovullo said there is a very good chance Jalen Beeks will throw to live hitters on Friday.

Beeks most recently threw a bullpen session which went well. He will likely face live hitters at least in at least one or two sessions before he is cleared for a rehab assignment.
