MacKenzie Gore Activated Off Paternity List by Rangers
Gore returns to the Texas rotation after his paternity leave stint, hitting the reinstatement deadline exactly.
The Texas Rangers officially activated starting pitcher MacKenzie Gore from the paternity list on the deadline day for reinstatement. To open a roster spot, relief pitcher Ben Peoples was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock. Peoples had posted a 2.19 ERA in 12.1 innings across 12 appearances since being acquired from the White Sox, though underlying metrics like a 6.25 FIP were less encouraging. The move keeps both Peoples and Cole Winn in the organization, preserving depth for a Rangers pitching staff that has faced significant injury attrition.
