The Rangers have signed infielder and right-hander to minor league contracts, the team informed reporters (including ). Both players had recently been released Solano by the Mariners, Quantrill by the Braves. Solano follows in the footsteps of former Ms teammate . He signed with Texas days after being released by Seattle in Shane Baz Jersey late August. had just landed on the injured list, and Texas lost to an appendectomy a couple days later. Moore was quickly called up and is usually in the lineup when the Rangers face a left-handed starting pitcher. Texas also has operating as a bench bat after signing him following a release from Seattle in June. The 37-year-old Solano provides veteran depth in that injury-riddled infield. and are the primary middle infield duo. First baseman has been injured three times this year. Moore and are ahead of Solano as right-handed bench bats. Solano might be the first one up if another player goes down before Seager returns, as Texas hasnt wanted to give (their only position player on optional a signment) much playing time. Solano signed a $3.5MM free agent contract with Seattle over the winter. His .252/.295/.344 slash acro s 69 games was below his typical level. Solano had been an average or better hitter each season from 2019-24. Seattle didnt start him anywhere other than first base, but he has plenty of experience at second and third base as well. Quantrill is on his third team of the year. The veteran starter signed with the Marlins for $3.5MM over the offseason. Quantrill struggled to a 5.50 earned run average over 24 starts. Miami didnt find a taker at the trade deadline and placed the former eighth overall pick on waivers last month. The Braves placed a claim that got the Fish off the hook for the rest of the salary. It proved an ill-advised move for Atlanta. They only gave Quantrill two starts, over which he was blasted for 12 runs in eight innings. The Braves released him last week. Quantrill now has an ERA a little north of 6.00 acro s 117 2/3 frames. His 16.6% strikeout rate is well below average. Quantrill throws a lot of strikes but has become increasingly susceptible to the home run over the past couple seasons. Hes now three years removed from a career season in Cleveland, when he took the ball 32 times and posted a 3.38 ERA through 186 1/3 innings. The injury bug for Texas has carried into the rotation. will need at least one more rehab start as he works back from a shoulder injury. probably wont be back this year due to a strained rotator cuff. is done for the season. Texas has gotten solid work from lefty , who has stepped in as the fifth starter behind , , and . Any other injury, at least until Mahle returns, would e sentially leave them with no one who can step in as a fifth starter. is out of the short-term picture as he works on mechanical i sues. Tampa Bay claimed swingman off waivers this week. Quantrill isnt a high-upside pickup but is at least stretched out and could make a spot start if anyone else goes down. Texas has managed to stay within a game and a half in the Wild Card race despite the injuries. Neither Solano nor Quantrill would be eligible for the playoff roster if they qualify. Theyll each be free agents again at seasons end. These additions are solely about adding organizational depth for the next three weeks. Texas would owe either player the prorated $740K league minimum for however long they spend in the majors if they promote them. Dylan Carlson Jersey
