  Rotowire Mar 23, 2026

  The Rangers informed Baumler on Monday that he's made the Opening Day roster, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports. Baumler was told that he'd made the Opening Day roster when manager Skip Schumaker trotted out for a mound visit during Monday's exhibition against the Royals. The right-hander is expected to be deployed out of the bullpen to handle low-leverage situations after failing to surrender a run in eight spring appearances (9.1 innings).

• Rangers' Carter Baumler: Dealt to Texas

  Rotowire Dec 10, 2025

  The Pirates selected Baumler with the fifth pick in the Rule 5 Draft on Wednesday and traded him to the Rangers, per Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News. Baumler received a seven-figure bonus from the Orioles out of high school in 2020 but he has dealt with significant shoulder issues over the years. The 6-foot-2 righty touched 98 mph in 2025 while logging a 2.04 ERA, 1.08 WHIP and 46 strikeouts in 39.2 innings as a reliever, primarily at High-A. The Rangers will likely attempt to use Baumler as a low-leverage reliever in 2026 before potentially sending him back to the minors in 2027.

• Orioles' Carter Baumler: Cleared for instructional ball

  Rotowire Oct 18, 2021

  Baumler (elbow) reported to Sarasota, Fla. on Monday to participate in the Orioles' fall instructional league camp, Roch Kubatko of MASNSports.com reports. The Orioles will likely be careful with Baumler's usage in instructional ball, but his inclusion for the fall camp suggests he's just about fully recovered from the Tommy John procedure he underwent last October. The 2020 fifth-round pick is still looking to make his professional debut, after the 2020 minor-league campaign was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic before he sustained the elbow injury last fall.
