Rangers activate Cody Freeman, Cody Bradford and adjust roster

The Texas Rangers activated infielder Cody Freeman from the 10-day injured list on August 4, 2026, and optioned him to AAA Round Rock. They also activated Cody Bradford from the 60-day injured list on August 5, 2026, following his recovery from internal brace surgery. Pitcher MacKenzie Gore was placed on the paternity list to facilitate these moves. Freeman's season has been marred by injuries, while Bradford returned with a strong performance, throwing 4.1 scoreless innings in a recent game. The team must now decide on Jordan Montgomery’s activation, as he completed a rehab start on August 2, 2026, and will need a spot on the 40-man roster.
