The Rangers rebuilt their bullpen for about $15 million and still found solid results: a 3.62 ERA (5th in MLB), a .306 OBP against, and a .681 OPS allowed (6th). They limited inherited runners to 28% (top 10) but lacked a true closer, posting 37 losses and 29 blown saves with a low save percentage. Armstrong led the group, supported by Milner, Garcia, Webb, Martin, Jackson, Latz, Winn, Boushley and Maton. With free agents coming, they face retooling for 2026, while Winn’s cutter and two prospects, Marc Church and Emiliano Teodo, offer upside if health and control improve.

The Detroit Tigers have secured right-handed reliever Luke Jackson, formerly of the Texas Rangers, to bolster their bullpen for the remainder of the 2025 MLB season. Jackson, who posted a 4.11 ERA with 24 strikeouts in 39 games this season, will be signed on a one-year deal, with the Tigers covering a portion of his salary while the Rangers pay the majority of the remaining contract, around $400,000. Expected to play immediately, Jackson aims to contribute effectively to the Tigers' pitching strategy as they face the Toronto Blue Jays.

The Texas Rangers have made a strategic move in their bullpen by recalling right-handed pitcher Cole Winn from Triple-A Round Rock. This decision comes as the team grapples with injuries to key relievers Luke Jackson and Chris Martin. Jackson was sidelined after suffering a hand injury, while Martin is dealing with elbow tightness. Both pitchers are uncertain for the upcoming games against the Houston Astros, prompting the need for additional support in the bullpen.

Winn, who has not allowed a run this season, brings a fresh arm to the rotation. His previous developmental years as a starting pitcher have transitioned him into a relief role, where he has excelled. The Rangers are hopeful that his performance will bolster their bullpen during a crucial series against a divisional rival.
