The Rangers are poised to select the contract of outfielder Alejandro Osuna, according to a report from Daniel Alvarez-Montes of El Extrabase. The news comes after DH Joc Pederson suffered a fractured right hand during today’s game against the White Sox that is expected to leave him sidelined for the next six weeks. Osuna is not yet on the 40-man roster, and the Rangers will need to make a corresponding move to clear 40-man roster space.
Osuna, 22, signed with the Rangers out of Mexico back in 2021. The youngster has gradually climbed through the minor leagues while splitting time fairly evenly between all three outfield spots and boasts a solid .277/.370/.436 slash line in 373 career games across all levels of the minors. Osuna got his first taste of the upper minors last last year following a call-up to Double-A over the summer, and he responded by slashing an excellent .306/.379/.523 in 57 games. The Rangers decided to be cautious with Osuna and keep him at Double-A to start the 2025 campaign after Evan Carter failed to make the Opening Day roster and was optioned to Triple-A.
The outfielder’s numbers weren’t quite as impressive in his repeat of Double-A, as he hit just .283/.363/.409 in 31 games, but that was still enough to convince the Rangers to promote him to the highest level of the minors earlier this month. He has just seven games under his belt with the club’s affiliate in Round Rock, but he’s impressed in that limited time with a .485 on-base percentage and more walks (eight) than strikeouts (seven). Between Osuna’s hot start to his time at Triple-A and the injury to Pederson, it seems as though the Rangers have decided now is the time to call the youngster up and see what he can do in the majors.
More to come.
