Off the field, the Rangers released veteran infielder Tyler Wade from their organization prior to the game. Wade did not appear in a Rangers uniform in any game this season.
The 31-year-old Wade is coming off a season with the San Diego Padres in which he batted .206 with nine RBIs, 13 runs scored and one stolen base in 59 games. His release adds another roster shakeup as Texas adjusts its depth options.
The move was reported by Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News, with corroboration from MLB Trade Rumors, which noted Wade was released from his Triple-A contract. The team has not announced any additional wording beyond the release.
A former Yankees utility infielder, Wade has spent time with multiple MLB organizations and has served as a depth option in the majors and minors. His latest stint came with the Padres before joining Texas, now ending with the Rangers’ roster move.
Texas’ focus remains on the Pirates as it seeks a fresh start after the Seattle loss. The release of Wade underscores ongoing roster evaluations as the season unfolds.
