Rangers' Sam Haggerty: Flashes speed Saturday
Haggerty went 1-for-3 with a double, a stolen base and a run scored in Saturday's 5-4 extra-innings loss to the Astros.
Haggerty made use of his speed after reaching on an error in the first inning. He went from first to third on Marcus Semien's single and then scored on a Framber Valdez wild pitch. Haggerty showed off more speed with a double and a steal of third in the third inning. The utility player is up to nine steals on 11 attempts this year, and he's added three triples as he continues to make an impact with his legs. He's been fine with the bat as well, hitting .254 with a .714 OPS, two home runs, 11 RBI and 25 runs scored across 142 plate appearances.

Rangers' Sam Haggerty: Not in Wednesday's lineup
Haggerty is not in the lineup Wednesday against the Orioles.
After picking up starts in the first two games of the series, Haggerty will hit the bench for the finale while Billy McKinney, Alejandro Osuna and Adolis Garcia comprise the Texas outfield from left to right. Until the Rangers get Evan Carter (personal) back from the bereavement list and Wyatt Langford (oblique) back from the injured list, the Rangers will have two spots in the outfield available for Haggerty, Osuna and McKinney. Since the beginning of June, Haggerty has produced a .736 OPS with four steals, one home run and six RBI over 72 plate appearances.

Rangers' Sam Haggerty: Remaining on bench Sunday
Haggerty is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.
Though he's on the bench against a right-handed pitcher (Luis Castillo) for the second day in a row, the switch-hitting Haggerty should benefit from an uptick in opportunities with Jake Burger (oblique), Wyatt Langford (oblique) and Joc Pederson (hand) all on the injured list. Alejandro Osuna has been serving as Langford's primary replacement in left field, but Haggerty could get most of the opportunities at designated hitter until the Rangers get healthy. Over his last 10 games, Haggerty has gone 9-for-29 (.310) with two extra-base hits, seven walks, seven runs, two RBI and three stolen bases.

Rangers' Sam Haggerty: Racks up three steals
Haggerty entered Tuesday's game as a pinch hitter and stole three bases in a 6-5 extra-inning win over Baltimore. He went 0-for-1 with a walk and an RBI.
Haggerty was vital to the Rangers' win. He walked in the eighth, stole two bases and scored the game-tying run that set up the extra inning. In the 10th, his fielder's choice brought home the game-winning run. Haggerty's been on a bit of roll lately, going 8-for-20 (.400) with two extra-base hits, one RBI, five walks, three steals and four runs over the last seven games. The three steals give him eight through 35 games this season. The switch hitter is usually in the starting lineup against lefties and will fill in when needed against righties.

Rangers' Sam Haggerty: More work in left field
Haggerty started in left field and went 0-for-3 with a walk and a run scored in Saturday's 3-2 win over the Pirates.
Haggerty made a second consecutive start in left field in place of Wyatt Langford (back). It was the third start over the last four games for Haggerty, who's gone 5-for-12 with a triple, three walks and three runs scored during that span. Langford was apparently available as a pinch hitter Saturday, which suggests a possible return to action Sunday against lefty Bailey Falter. As Haggerty typically replaces Evan Carter against southpaws, he should be in Sunday's starting nine whether Langford returns or not.

Rangers' Sam Haggerty: Fills in as leadoff hitter
Haggerty started in left field and batted leadoff, going 3-for-5 with a triple and a run scored in Wednesday's 6-3 loss to the Royals.
With usual leadoff batter Josh Smith (hamstring) not available and Evan Carter held out of the starting nine against a left-hander (Kris Bubic), Haggerty filled in for both players. Haggerty has been respectable for fantasy purposes, slashing .265/.315/.434 with five steals, two doubles, three triples, two home runs, nine RBI and 14 runs scored over 29 games. The issue is the sporadic nature of his playing time, as Wednesday's start was just his second in the last eight contests.

Rangers' Sam Haggerty: Logs three hits, two runs in win
Haggerty started in left field and went 3-for-5 with two runs scored in Saturday's 5-0 win over the Nationals.
Haggerty got the Rangers going early with a leadoff single two pitches into the game, before scoring the only run Texas would need. He scored a second run after leading off the eighth inning with his third single of the day. The switch-hitting Haggerty usually gets into lineups against lefties and the occasional righty. Evan Carter and Alejandro Osuna are also around for outfield duty, but neither is an ideal fit against southpaws.

Rangers' Sam Haggerty: Starts in right field
Haggerty started in right field and went 0-for-3 with a stolen base in Saturday's 2-0 loss to the Cardinals.
Haggerty has filled in for Adolis Garcia (rest) the last two games and is 3-for-7 with a walk, a triple, three RBI, a steal and three runs scored in the two starts. A timeline for Garcia's return has not yet been established. Haggerty is slashing .241/.293/.407 with five extra-base hits, five RBI, four steals and nine runs over 17 games since being called up in early May.

Rangers' Sam Haggerty: Scores as pinch runner
Haggerty entered Tuesday's game as a pinch runner, stole a base and scored a run in a 2-0 win over Toronto.
Haggerty scored the game-winning run after pinch running for catcher Kyle Higashioka in the eighth inning. The steal was his third in 15 games since his contract was selected from Triple-A Round Rock earlier this month. A recent spate of injuries resulted in Haggerty starting nine straight games -- seven in center field and the last two at DH -- before he opened Tuesday's game on the bench.

Rangers' Sam Haggerty: Slides to DH
Haggerty started at designated hitter, batted leadoff and went 0-for-5 in Sunday's 5-4 win over the White Sox.
Haggerty moved from center field to DH against a right-hander, a role that had been occupied by Joc Pederson until a broken hand landed him on the 10-day injured list Sunday. Pederson is expected to miss at least six weeks, which means opportunities exist in the outfield or DH for Haggerty, who has been a regular presence in the lineup since his contract was selected earlier this month. Those opportunities may dry up once Evan Carter (quadriceps) is ready to be activated from the 10-day injured list. Haggerty is batting .233/.283/.395 with one home run, two RBI, two steals and five runs scored over 13 games.

Rangers' Sam Haggerty: Making most of opportunity
Haggerty started in center field, batted leadoff and went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and was caught stealing in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Yankees.
Haggerty launched his first home run of the season in the seventh inning to give the Rangers a 3-1 lead. He made a fourth straight start in center field since Evan Carter (quadriceps) landed on the 10-day injured list and has hit safely in all four contests. He's also batting leadoff against lefties. Haggerty's making the most of this opportunity and has hit safely in all six games in which he's started. Carter's injury is a Grade 2 strain which will likely require more than the 10-day minimum, so the opportunity for Haggerty could be an extended one.

Rangers' Sam Haggerty: Starts in center field Sunday
Haggerty started in center field and batted leadoff Sunday, going 1-for-4 with a run scored in a 4-3 loss to Houston.
Haggerty stepped in for Evan Carter on Saturday, when the latter was scratched due to a quad issue. The injury landed Carter on the 10-day injured list, is considered a Grade 2 strain and will likely force him to miss two weeks at least, according to MLB.com. That likely means the switch-hitting Haggerty and righty-batting Kevin Pillar will split duties in the center field.

Rangers' Sam Haggerty: Late addition to lineup
Haggerty started in center field and went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Saturday's 5-1 win over Houston.
Haggerty was a late addition to the starting lineup after Evan Carter (quad) was scratched, per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. Texas manager Bruce Bochy said Carter's removal was precautionary, but he's not expected to play Sunday. Haggerty is expected to fill in as the primary center fielder until Carter is healthy.

Rangers' Sam Haggerty: Starts in center against lefty
Haggerty started in center field and went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's 2-1 loss to Detroit.
Haggerty was called up earlier in the day and found himself starting against a left-hander. The lefty-hitting Evan Carter started the previous three games -- all against righties -- but was held out against a southpaw, which historically have given Carter problems.

Rangers' Sam Haggerty: Added to big-league roster
The Rangers selected Haggerty's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.
Haggerty inked a minor-league deal with Texas during the offseason after missing most of last season due to an Achilles injury, and he's enjoyed a strong start to 2025 at Round Rock with a .313/.383/.398 slash line and seven steals in 22 games. The 30-year-old will provide the Rangers with some outfield depth, though he's also seen action at first, second and third base during his big-league career. He's starting in center field and batting leadoff for the Rangers on Friday in Detroit.

Rangers' Sam Haggerty: Healthy for spring training
Haggerty (Achilles) will start at second base and bat leadoff in Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Reds.
While he was with the Mariners organization last season, Haggerty didn't play after May 18 last season due to a torn right Achilles' tendon that required surgery, but he's made a speedy recovery from the procedure. After inking a minor-league deal with the Rangers over the winter, Haggerty was cleared to make his Cactus League debut Feb. 21, and he'll now see his first action in the infield after making each of his first four spring starts in left field. The 30-year-old switch hitter is competing for a bench spot on the Rangers' Opening Day roster.

Rangers' Sam Haggerty: Gets NRI from Texas
The Rangers signed Haggerty (Achilles) to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to spring training, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
Haggerty underwent surgery last May to repair a torn right Achilles tendon and it's not clear what level of participation he'll have in spring training or the start of the season. The switch-hitting utility player has a career .263/.355/.452 batting line versus left-handed pitching, so he could fill a niche role with the Rangers eventually.

Sam Haggerty: Let go by Seattle
The Mariners non-tendered Haggerty (Achilles) on Friday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
The 27-year-old played 27 games between the Mariners and Triple-A Tacoma before he suffered a torn Achilles in May, which cost him the rest of the season. It's unclear exactly how long Haggerty will be sidelined, but he'll likely be unavailable for at least the first month of the 2025 campaign.

Mariners' Sam Haggerty: Moved to 60-day IL
The Mariners recalled Haggerty (Achilles) from Triple-A Tacoma and placed him on the 60-day injured list Monday.
Haggerty tore his right Achilles on May 18 in just his second minor-league game since being optioned to Triple-A Tacoma on May 15. Prior to his second stint with Tacoma, Haggerty slashed .344/.417/.375 with eight runs, seven steals and five RBI over 64 at-bats.

Mariners' Sam Haggerty: Out with torn Achilles
Haggerty was diagnosed with a torn Achilles on Monday and will miss the rest of the 2024 season, Daniel Kramer of MLB.com reports. He was placed on the 7-day injured list at Triple-A Tacoma on Sunday.
The 29-year-old was optioned to Tacoma last week and suffered the injury over the weekend in just his second game back with the affiliate. Haggerty went 1-for-15 during a brief run in the big leagues this season and will likely be sidelined for the start of the 2025 campaign.
