News
	Tyler Alexander earned the save Sunday against the Blue Jays, striking out one in a perfect ninth inning to close out Texas’ 3-2 win. It marked his second save in as many days after he had gone nearly three months without a save opportunity. Bruno Mulé Mon, Jun 29th	The Rays said Ryan Pepiot's right hip surgery Wednesday went well and he is expected to make a full recovery for spring training next year. Ari Koslow Wed, May 13th
	Tyler Alexander worked a perfect ninth inning Saturday to record his third save of the season in Texas’ 7-4 win over Toronto. He did not record a strikeout while filling in after Jacob Latz and Jakob Junis had each pitched on the previous two days. Bruno Mulé Sun, Jun 28th	Ryan Pepiot (hip) will miss the remainder of the 2026 season to undergo right hip surgery. The surgery is scheduled for May 13. David Leisering Fri, May 1st
	Tyler Alexander will open for the Rangers on Tuesday against the Marlins. Ari Koslow Mon, Jun 22nd	Rays manager Kevin Cash said Ryan Pepiot had a bad day on Monday as his right hip felt “unstable” while playing catch. Ari Koslow Mon, Apr 20th
	The Rangers entered the season with an unsettled closer situation, and Alexander has been the third option in high-leverage usage behind Robert Garcia and Chris Martin. With both Garcia and Martin having pitched two days in a row entering Monday, Alexander was called on to close out the ninth inning against Baltimore. Bruno Mulé Tue, Mar 31st	The Rays transferred RHP Ryan Pepiot to the 60-day injured list. Ari Koslow Tue, Apr 14th
		Pepiot has not pitched in a game setting since March 17 and was placed on the IL prior to Opening Day with right hip inflammation. He may need more than one rehab start before Tampa Bay brings him back. Bruno Mulé Mon, Apr 13th
