Rangers designate Sam Haggerty for assignment as Corey Seager returns

The Texas Rangers designated outfielder and second baseman Sam Haggerty for assignment on June 5, 2026, before their game against the Cleveland Guardians. Haggerty, who played 35 games this season, struggled offensively with a batting line of.159/.213/.182. The move coincides with the return of shortstop Corey Seager from the injured list, expected to enhance the Rangers' offense. Additionally, the team has signed Jarred Kelenic to a minor league contract, hoping to bolster their lineup at Triple-A. Haggerty's versatility in defense and speed are notable despite his recent performance issues.
