Mar 6, 2025; Phoenix, Arizona, USA; Texas Rangers left fielder Alejandro Osuna (76) runs to first base during an at bat against the Los Angeles Dodgers during the second inning at Camelback Ranch-Glendale. Mandatory Credit: Joe Camporeale-Imagn Images The Texas Rangers called up top outfield prospect Alejandro Osuna from Triple-A Round Rock to make his major league debut on Sunday afternoon against the host Chicago White Sox.
Also Sunday, the Rangers placed designated hitter/first baseman Joc Pederson on the 10-day injured list and designated outfielder Kevin Pillar for assignment.
Osuna, 22, was set to bat sixth in the lineup and play in left field against the White Sox.
The Rangers’ Minor League Player of the Year in 2024, Osuna has combined to bat .279 with two home runs and 15 RBIs over 39 games with Double-A Frisco and Triple-A Round Rock this season.
He is listed by MLB Pipeline as the No. 7 overall prospect in the Rangers’ system.
Pederson, 33, sustained a fractured right hand in Texas’ 10-5 loss to the White Sox on Saturday when he was hit by a pitch from Bryse Wilson in the fourth inning. He stayed in the game long enough to score on Marcus Semien’s sacrifice fly, but Kyle Higashioka handled the designated hitter role the rest of the way.
Signed to a two-year, $37 million deal in the offseason, Pederson is batting a career-low .131 with two homers and six RBIs in 46 games this season.
Pillar, 36, hit .209 with no home runs and one RBI over 20 games with the Rangers this season.

How Arsenal became European champions for a second time: Pressing, doubling up and smart subs
Underdog victories in major finals aren’t usually achieved so convincingly.Arsenal were rank outsiders going into the Champions League final against Barcelona on Saturday, with odds of up to 14/1 for them to win the game in 90 minutes. Player for player, Arsenal might only get a couple of names into the starting XI of Barcelona, the dominant side in this competition in recent years. But collectively, Arsenal were unquestionably superior, recording an unlikely but thoroughly deserved victory.AdvertisementThis Arsenal side is comprised almost solely of highly technical players. Centre-backs Steph Catley and Leah Williamson are a former left-back and a former midfielder respectively. Central midfielders Kim Little and Mariona Caldentey are No 10s at heart. Renee Slegers has eschewed old-school centre-backs and functional holding midfielders, and stuck to her Plan A despite knowing Arsenal would spend long periods without the ball. […]

Kyle Larson’s Indy-Charlotte Double ends with crashes in both Indianapolis 500, Coca-Cola 600
Getty Images CONCORD, N.C. -- NASCAR Cup Series star Kyle Larson's second bid at the Indy-Charlotte Double ended on the hook at both ends, as crashes in both the Indianapolis 500 and Coca-Cola 600 kept him from finishing either race on the Sunday of Memorial Day Weekend. Larson spun in Turn 2 to trigger a multi-car crash in the Indy 500 on Sunday afternoon, then was involved in two separate accidents during the Coke 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway with the second ending his race after 245 laps.Larson's day began with bad echoes of his failed first attempt at The Double in 2024, as a rain shower that briefly delayed the start at Indianapolis put him in a situation where it would be very difficult to both complete the Indy 500 and make it to Charlotte in time for the […]
Jalen Ramsey sparks Cowboys rumors with home purchase in Dallas-Fort Worth
NFL star Jalen Ramsey has once again found himself at the center of trade speculation, this time linked to the Dallas Cowboys-and not without reason. The Miami Dolphins cornerback recently closed on a home in the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex, igniting fresh rumors about a potential move to America's Team. While the internet ran wild with theories, Cowboys insiders were quick to throw cold water on the buzz.Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reported that Dallas could be a team to monitor if Ramsey were to become available, sending Cowboys fans into a frenzy. With Ramsey's Super Bowl pedigree and the team's lingering questions in the secondary, the connection made for compelling football chatter. But according to Mike Fisher of CowboysCountry.com, there's no traction behind the scenes."There's no indication inside the building that anything is happening," Fisher reported. "No talks. No plans.
