The Rangers optioned Fabian to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.
After coming up from the minors and making his MLB debut in early September, Fabian only managed to appear in three games, during which he went 0-for-5. He'll now end up without a spot on the active roster with Ezequiel Duran returning from paternity leave, but Fabian could be a candidate to take on a more prominent role with the Rangers in 2025 after turning in a .809 OPS at Round Rock this season.

Rangers' Sandro Fabian: Makes MLB debut Friday
Rotowire
Fabian started in left field and went 0-for-2 in Friday's 5-1 loss to the Angels.
Fabian, who had his contract selected from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday, made his MLB debut Friday, slotting in against a left-hander. He was eventually removed for a pinch hitter once a right-handed reliever entered the game. This was the second straight game in which Leody Taveras was held out of the starting lineup against a left-handed starter, so Fabian could be in line for opportunities against southpaws going forward. That includes Saturday, when the Angels have lefty Tyler Anderson scheduled to start.

Fabian was reassigned to minor-league camp Monday.
Fabian struggled against big-league arms over the last few weeks, collecting three hits in 22 at-bats while driving in one and striking out eight times in 18 contests.

Giants' Sandro Fabian: Out with undisclosed issue
Rotowire
Fabian is on the 7-day IL at High-A San Jose with an undisclosed medical condition, Jim Callis of MLB.com reports.
This sounds like it could be an unusual issue, given that the team did not disclose the nature of the injury to Callis, and that he referred to it as a "medical condition." Consider Fabian out indefinitely.
