Rangers claim OF Dairon Blanco off waivers from the Royals and place Jordan Montgomery on 60-day IL
The Rangers opened a 40-man roster spot by placing Jordan Montgomery on the 60-day injured list while adding speedy outfielder Dairon Blanco from Kansas City.
- On Sunday, the Texas Rangers claimed outfielder Dairon Blanco off waivers and placed left-hander Jordan Montgomery on the 60-day injured list to open a 40-man roster spot.
- Because he is not expected back until July, the Rangers placed Jordan Montgomery on the 60-day IL while recovering from a second elbow reconstruction surgery, following a one-year deal last month.
- Known primarily as a speed specialist, Dairon Blanco has stolen 59 bases in 73 tries and made 64 pinch-running appearances since 2022, with minor-league options remaining.
- On Sunday, the Rangers cut camp from 67 to 49 with 10 players reassigned, including sending Zavala and pitchers to minor-league camp.
- The moves position the club to preserve roster flexibility, as Montgomery, a member of the Rangers' 2023 World Series team, went 4-2 with a 2.79 ERA in 11 games, while Blanco is not expected to be a candidate for the opening-day roster.
