The Rangers reassigned INF Sebastian Walcott to minor league camp.
Fantasy Impact
Walcott was not expected to make the team's Opening Day roster. He remains one of the top prospects in baseball.
Walcott (elbow) hit .255/.355/.386 with 13 home runs and 32 stolen bases across 124 games at Double-A Frisco in 2025. He underwent an internal brace procedure on his right elbow.

Rangers GM Ross Fenstermaker said Tuesday that Walcott may be back playing games in August, assuming his rehabilitation progresses as expected. The timeline for swinging a bat is five to six months, with fielding activities expected to take additional time beyond that.
Walcott had internal brace surgery on his right elbow last week and faces a 5-to-6 month timeline before resuming hitting, putting his entire season at risk. The procedure stopped short of a full Tommy John surgery, though the recovery window is significant regardless.
