Arlington, Texas — The Texas Rangers reshaped their roster ahead of Sunday’s series finale against the Baltimore Orioles, selecting the contract of veteran infielder Jonah Bride from Triple‑A Round Rock and optioning outfielder Alejandro Osuna back to the Express. In a corresponding move, right‑hander Jack Leiter was transferred to the 60‑day Injured List, formalizing a longer recovery window for the former first‑round pick.
Bride Earns Call‑Up After Standout Triple‑A Season
Bride, 30, arrives in Arlington riding one of the most consistent offensive stretches in the Pacific Coast League. The infielder posted a .282/.401/.425 slash line with 10 home runs, 20 doubles, 60 RBI, and 72 walks against 69 strikeouts across 97 games for Round Rock. He led the Express in games played, hits, RBI, and walks, while ranking among the PCL’s top performers in both free passes (4th) and on‑base percentage (8th).
His recent surge made the decision even easier for Texas: since July 23, Bride has hit .386 with a 1.037 OPS, driving in 13 runs and drawing 12 walks over a 13‑game span.
A non‑roster invitee to Rangers camp this spring, Bride signed a minor‑league deal on December 2, 2025 and appeared in 20 Cactus League games before being assigned to Round Rock. The University of South Carolina product has logged parts of four Major League seasons with Oakland, Miami, and Minnesota, compiling a .221/.311/.313 line with 12 homers and 57 RBI in 214 career games. His last MLB appearance came on June 29, 2025 with the Twins.
Bride will wear No. 37 as he seeks his Rangers debut.
Osuna Returns to Round Rock After Two Stints in Arlington
Osuna, 23, heads back to Triple‑A after appearing in 76 games for Texas this season. The outfielder hit .255 with one home run and 24 RBI while making starts across all three outfield positions and at designated hitter. His most recent action came Saturday night, entering as a pinch‑runner and scoring on Corey Seager’s three‑run homer.
Leiter Moved to 60‑Day IL
Leiter, 26, has been sidelined since June 19 with a right ankle posterior impingement. He was originally placed on the 15‑day IL on June 21, but Sunday’s transfer to the 60‑day list ensures he will remain out until at least August 18. The move does not change his recovery timeline but frees a 40‑man roster spot for Bride.
Roster Outlook
With Sunday’s transactions, the Rangers’ Major League roster remains at 40 players. Seven players are currently on the 60‑day Injured List:
- RHP Carter Baumler
- RHP Jose Corniell
- RHP Jack Leiter
- LHP Jalen Beeks
- LHP Robert Garcia
- INF/OF Michael Helman
- C Danny Jansen
