Player Outlook
Jonathan Ornelas, fresh off an addition to the 40-man roster, opened 2023 at Triple-A Round Rock in the hitter friendly Pacific Coast League. Only it wasn't too friendly for Ornelas, who ranked last in the PCL among qualified hitters with a .727 OPS, down 58 points from a promising 2022 season at Double-A Frisco. He's one of a few infield prospects that have nowhere to go at the major-league level. Either Ornelas or Justin Foscue could be used as a trade piece to acquire bullpen help and/or a designated hitter, the Rangers' most pressing needs. Ornelas spent most of his time at shortstop in 2023 but also saw time at second base and center field. Those positions in the majors, too, are locked in for the next few seasons, so working as a backup infielder might be his ticket to the majors if he remains in the organization.

  • Rangers' Jonathan Ornelas: Sent back to Triple-A

    Rotowire
    The Rangers optioned Ornelas to Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday. Ornelas' stay with the big club lasted just two days, as he was sent back to Round Rock while the Rangers were in need of added pitching depth heading into Wednesday's doubleheader with the Athletics. The 23-year-old infielder appeared in one game during his time with the Rangers, going hitless in his lone at-bat.

  • Rangers' Jonathan Ornelas: Promoted to majors

    Rotowire
    The Rangers recalled Ornelas from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday. He'll take the 26-man active roster spot vacated by Wyatt Langford (hamstring), who was placed on the 10-day injured list. Ornelas, 23, has posted a .720 OPS with two home runs and one stolen base at Round Rock this season, but the Rangers are bringing him aboard mainly for his capable glove in the middle infield. Though he's played exclusively at second base and shortstop this season, Ornelas also saw action at third base and center field in 2023.

  • Rangers' Jonathan Ornelas: Sent to minors

    Rotowire
    The Rangers optioned Ornelas to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports. Ornelas, 23, appeared in eight games for Texas during the 2023 season, but he wasn't a serious candidate to make the Opening Day roster. The infielder should get the chance to play on a near-everyday basis at Round Rock to begin the campaign.

  • Rangers' Jonathan Ornelas: Returns to Triple-A

    Rotowire
    Ornelas was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday. Ornelas collected one hit and struck out four times in seven at-bats since being promoted Sept. 9. He was sent down Monday along with Sam Huff to make room for Josh Jung (thumb) and Adolis Garcia (knee), who were both activated from the 10-day injured list.

  • Rangers' Jonathan Ornelas: Back in big leagues

    Rotowire
    Ornelas was recalled by the Rangers on Saturday. Ornelas got into two games off the bench for the Rangers in August but did not receive a plate appearance. Given that he owns a modest 83 wRC+ in 108 Triple-A games this season, it's unlikely he's been called up for his bat. J.P. Martinez was optioned in a corresponding move.

  • Rangers' Jonathan Ornelas: Heads back to Triple-A

    Rotowire
    Ornelas was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday. Ornelas spent a week with Texas, but he did not record even one at-bat, so the Rangers decided to remove him from the roster to open up a spot for the returning Travis Jankowski. Given his ability to play both the infield and outfield, Ornelas figures to garner consideration next time there is an opening on the big-league roster.

  • Rangers' Jonathan Ornelas: Officially recalled by Rangers

    Rotowire
    Ornelas was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday. It was reported Sunday that Ornelas would be called up from the minors, and he officially replaced the injured Josh Jung (thumb) on the roster one day later. Ornelas figures to fill some type of super-utility role in his first big-league stint.

  • Rangers' Jonathan Ornelas: Added to 40-man

    Rotowire
    Ornelas was added to the Rangers' 40-man roster Tuesday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports. After slashing .301/.362/.425 with Double-A Frisco in 2022, Ornelas was deemed worthy of a spot on the 40-man roster for Rule 5 protection. Given a bit more time to develop in the minors, the 22-year-old infielder has a good shot at cracking the big leagues.
