Scouting Report
Updated May 20, 2026
Gavin Collyer, a right-handed pitcher for the Texas Rangers, was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock to make room for veteran Chris Martin's activation from the injured list. Collyer has had a solid start to his MLB career, posting a 2.84 ERA in his first-ever stint at the big-league level. He set a notable streak of not allowing a run in 11 straight appearances to open his MLB career. At Triple-A Round Rock earlier in the season, Collyer posted a 2.70 ERA across six games. The optioning appears to be a roster management decision rather than a performance-based demotion.
