Texas Rangers Activate Catcher Danny Jansen, Designate Austin Wynns
The Texas Rangers have activated catcher Danny Jansen from the injured list and designated catcher Austin Wynns for assignment. This move impacts the team's roster composition.
Austin, TX, August 19, 2026 —
The Texas Rangers announced a roster move Tuesday, activating catcher Danny Jansen from the injured list. Concurrently, the team designated catcher Austin Wynns for assignment.
The activation of Jansen, who was previously on the injured list, brings him back into the active roster. The specific details regarding the nature of Jansen’s injury or the timeline of his recovery were not provided in the initial announcement.
The designation of Wynns means he is no longer on the Rangers’ active 40-man roster. Teams typically designate players for assignment when they wish to remove them from the roster, often to make space for another player. Wynns’ future with the organization, or if another team will claim him, remains to be seen.
This roster adjustment alters the composition of the Texas Rangers’ catching depth. The club has not provided further details on the strategic implications of this move on the team’s upcoming games or season outlook.
