The Texas Rangers have announced that they have placed infielder Isiah Kiner-Falefa on the 10-day Injured List due to a sprained right ankle. The move comes after Kiner-Falefa suffered the injury during a recent game against the Oakland Athletics.
Kiner-Falefa has been a key player for the Rangers this season, playing both third base and shortstop and providing solid defense and a consistent bat in the lineup. He is currently hitting .271 with 7 home runs and 35 RBIs on the season.
The loss of Kiner-Falefa will be a blow to the Rangers, who are currently in last place in the American League West division. However, the team is hopeful that he will be able to return to action after the 10-day period and continue to contribute to their lineup.
In the meantime, the Rangers have called up infielder Andy Ibanez from their alternate training site to take Kiner-Falefa’s spot on the roster. Ibanez will provide depth in the infield and could see some playing time while Kiner-Falefa is sidelined.
Overall, the Rangers will need to find a way to fill the void left by Kiner-Falefa’s absence and continue to compete in a tough division. Hopefully, he will make a speedy recovery and be back on the field soon to help his team in their push for success.
