The Texas Rangers demonstrated their confidence in pitcher Dane Dunning by assigning him to Triple-A Round Rock after he cleared outright waivers. This marks the second time this season that Dunning, who has a salary of $2.6 million plus incentives, has gone unclaimed. The Rangers believed that no team would take on his contract, allowing them to retain him. Dunning made his mark recently, pitching the final three innings in a dominant 15-2 victory against the Athletics, earning his first career save despite allowing two runs.

Meanwhile, Corey Seager is back in the Rangers' lineup after a ten-day IL stint, slated to bat third in an upcoming game against Seattle. Additionally, former Rangers All-Star Joey Gallo is attempting to transition to pitching, a journey he's shared via social media.
