Availability
The Rangers transferred OF Michael Helman to the 60-day injured list.
Fantasy Impact
Helman remains without a clear timetable to return. The move opens up a spot on the Rangers 40-man roster.
Michael Helman suffered multiple fractures in his right hand when he was hit by a pitch in Saturday's 6-3 loss to the Boston Red Sox.
Fantasy Impact
Helman was struck on the right hand by a 99.5 mph sinker from Tyson Guerrero in the eighth inning. Although he remained in the game to run the bases, he was replaced defensively in the bottom half of the frame. He is scheduled to undergo additional testing on Sunday, but fantasy managers should prepare for an extended absence.
The Rangers recalled Michael Helman from Triple-A Round Rock.
Fantasy Impact
Helman gets an opportunity in the majors with Corey Seager placed on the injured list. He'll likely hold a depth role off the bench.
The Rangers optioned outfielder Michael Helman to Triple-A Round Rock.
Fantasy Impact
Helman scuffled at this plate this spring, going 7-for-30 (.233) with one homer, zero walks, and a .575 OPS across 33 trips to the plate. The 29-year-old hit .232 with five homers and a .745 OPS across 110 trips to the plate with the Rangers in 2025.
Rangers outfielder Michael Helman will see time at shortstop in camp, according to manager Skip Schumaker.
Fantasy Impact
Helman, an outfielder by trade, has logged just one of his 281 2/3 defensive innings at shortstop, but will see time at shortstop in camp as the club evaluates its utility options. The 29-year-old has hit .239 with five homers and four stolen bases across 120 career big-league trips to the plate.
