The Rangers are calling up infield prospect Cameron Cauley to make his major league debut, reports Robert Murray of FanSided. He’s not on the 40-man roster yet. Texas has an opening on the 40-man at the moment, but they’re also reportedly in the process of finalizing a major league deal with veteran righty Chris Paddack. That’s two looming 40-man additions for the team to announce, meaning they’ll need to make at least one 40-man move. That could simply be transferring right-hander Jack Leiter, who had ankle surgery last week, from the 15-day IL to the 60-day IL, however.
Cauley, 23, was the Rangers’ third-round pick back in 2021. He’s a plus-plus runner who’s gone 29-for-29 in stolen base attempts in 74 games while batting .262/.363/.407 in 343 turns at the plate at the Triple-A level this season. Cauley has drawn walks at a huge 13.1% clip and struck out at a manageable 21.3% rate. He’s popped eight homers and added another 12 doubles and three triples to his extra-base hit tally.
More to come.
