The Texas Rangers have undergone roster changes involving outfielder Jarred Kelenic. On July 27, 2026, the club terminated Kelenic’s minor-league contract, making him a free agent after he had previously been designated for assignment and re-signed with the team.

By August 23, 2026, the Rangers designated Kelenic for assignment again to facilitate the recall of catcher Logan O’Hoppe from Triple-A Round Rock to the active roster. O’Hoppe, acquired from the Los Angeles Angels, was promoted following strong performance at the Triple-A level.
