Scouting Report
Updated May 20, 2026
Gavin Collyer has been optioned to Triple-A Round Rock to make room for Chris Martin's activation from the injured list. Collyer had a solid debut season with the Rangers, posting a 2.84 ERA in 12.2 innings over 14 games. He had not allowed a run in his first 11 straight appearances to open his MLB career. The optioning appears to be a roster management decision rather than performance-based, as Collyer had pitched on back-to-back days and the Rangers needed bullpen depth with Martin's return.
