Story summary

The Texas Rangers placed designated hitter Joc Pederson on the 10-day injured list due to a left wrist fracture, which has sidelined him since September 13. This move is retroactive only to September 19 but would still make Pederson eligible for potential playoff games starting next week if the Rangers qualify. Meanwhile, right-hander Cal Quantrill was moved from the 15-day IL to the 60-day list due to right lat tightness, effectively ending his season early at a record of 9-5. The team also activated infielder/outfielder Michael Helman and right-handed reliever Peyton Gray from their respective injured lists ahead of their game against the New York Mets in Arlington, Texas.
