Overview
- General manager Ross Fenstermaker said Tuesday that team physician Dr. Keith Meister performed the internal-brace repair in Arlington last week and that feedback was very positive.
- The club estimates a five- to six-month ramp before Walcott resumes hitting, with fielding work to follow after he is back in the cage.
- If progress holds, the Rangers are aiming for an August return to game action that would not be a full workload and would prioritize hitting.
- Team officials said it is conceivable he could log Minor League games this season and then build more reps in the Arizona Fall League or a winter league.
- Ranked No. 7 overall, Walcott posted a .255/.355/.386 line with 13 homers and 32 steals at Double-A Frisco in 2025, and the club says he is in good spirits about the rehab plan.
