Amid a stretch of 13 games in 13 days, the Texas Rangers needed some coverage down in the bullpen before they begin a seven-game home stand.

They will look to a familiar face to provide that coverage, as Texas is expected to recall RHP Dane Dunning from AAA Round Rock.

In 20 IP for the Express this season, Dunning has a 5.40 ERA, but features an impressive 21 strikeouts.

Dunning will join the Texas bullpen with the ability to be stretched out, with fellow long men Boushley and Jacob Latz having thrown a lot the last few days.

Two additional moves had to be made in order to get Dunning on the active roster as well as the 40-man roster.

Caleb Boushley has been optioned to AAA Round Rock, and Daniel Robert has been designated for assignment.

Boushley made three appearances for the Rangers in 2025, posting an ERA of 5.87 in 7.2 innings.

Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said before the game that Boushley “did a nice job” and noted that we could see him at the big league level again this season.

As for Robert, he had not made an appearance for the Rangers yet in 2025 but had just a 1.54 ERA in 11.2 innings with AAA Round Rock.
