Jake Burger went 1-for-3 in a loss to the Blue Jays with a home run, one walk, one run scored, and two RBI.

Fantasy Impact: Burger has provided mixed results of late, recording hits in four of his last eight contests. The infielder continues to flash his power stroke as another inconsistent bat in the Rangers lineup for manager Skip Schumaker, batting .233 with 27 home runs, 88 RBI, 69 runs scored, and four stolen bases across 149 games.

Jacob deGrom allowed three earned runs on five hits and four walks while striking out two over 4 1/3 innings in Sunday's loss to the Blue Jays.

Fantasy Impact: deGrom continues a solid stretch of late, allowing two earned runs or less in four of his last five contests. The right-hander offers manager Skip Schumaker one of the few stable arms as part of an inconsistent Rangers rotation late in the season, carrying a 3.86 ERA and 1.10 WHIP with an 11-10 record and 11.1 K/9 ratio across 30 starts.

Brandon Nimmo was scratched from the Rangers’ starting lineup on Sunday due to illness.

Fantasy Impact: Nimmo is considered to be day-to-day.

The Rangers recalled RHP Winston Santos from Triple-A Round Rock.

Fantasy Impact: Quantrill went down with the injury in his most recent start. Winston Santos was recalled as the corresponding move.

Wyatt Langford went 1-for-2 in a win over the Blue Jays with one double, two runs scored, one RBI, one stolen base, and two walks.

Fantasy Impact: Langford has heated up of late, reaching base in seven of his last nine contests. The outfielder has battled inconsistent stretches at the plate as part of a streaky Rangers lineup for manager Skip Schumaker, slashing .244 with 17 home runs, 42 RBI, 64 runs scored, and 15 stolen bases across 103 games.

Josh Jung went 1-for-3 in a 6-2 win over the Blue Jays with a home run, one walk, one RBI, and two runs scored.

Fantasy Impact: Jung continues a productive stretch at the plate since returning, driving in runs in four of his last seven contests. The infielder has offered manager Skip Schumaker an impactful bat in a streaky Rangers lineup down the stretch, batting .298 with 11 home runs, 39 RBI, 52 runs scored, and one stolen base across 99 games.

The Rangers recalled LHP Adam Macko from Triple-A Round Rock.

Fantasy Impact: Macko will return to a middle-relief role.

Fantasy Impact: Gore has been pitching through muscle spasms. He is scheduled to face the Mets next.

The Rangers are promoting top prospect Sebastian Walcott to Triple-A Round Rock.

Fantasy Impact: Walcott will end this season in Triple-A. He should get an opportunity in the majors at some point in the early part of next season.

Corey Seager went 1-for-4 in a win over the Blue Jays with one double, one RBI, one stolen base, and one walk.

Fantasy Impact: Seager continues a productive stretch of late, driving in runs in four of his last five contests. The shortstop continues to battle back from an injury-riddled stretch for much of the season for manager Skip Schumaker, batting .234 with 18 home runs, 47 RBI, 55 runs scored, and two stolen bases through 94 games.

Kumar Rocker allowed one earned run on three hits and two walks while striking out two over 4 1/3 innings in Friday's win over the Blue Jays.

Fantasy Impact: Rocker continues a strong stretch of late, allowing two earned runs or less in five of his last six trips to the mound. The right-hander remains one of many inconsistent arms as part of an underperforming Rangers rotation late in the season, posting a 4.47 ERA and 1.42 WHIP with a 5-11 record and 8.4 K/9 ratio through 29 appearances.

The Rangers optioned LHP Robby Ahlstrom to Triple-A Round Rock.

Fantasy Impact: Ahlstrom will return to Triple-A. Michel Otañez had his contract selected as the corresponding move.

The Rangers transferred RHP Cole Winn to the 60-day injured list.

Fantasy Impact: Winn has been on the IL since the end of August due to a right rotator cuff strain. He will not return this season.

Cody Bradford allowed three hits and one walk while striking out three over 4 1/3 innings in Thursday’s loss to the Red Sox.

Fantasy Impact: Bradford has struggled to miss opposing bats of late, allowing three earned runs or more in three of his last four contests.

Jacob Latz struck out three while allowing one hit over 1 2/3 scoreless innings in Tuesday's win over the Red Sox.

Fantasy Impact: Latz continues a strong stretch of late, holding opponents scoreless in 11 of his last 13 contests. The left-hander continues to take advantage of his role as a reliable ninth-inning option for manager Skip Schumaker, posting a 2.00 ERA and 0.82 WHIP with a 3-2 record, 10.2 K/9 ratio, three holds, and 30 saves through 54 appearances.
