Tejeda (illness) remains out of the lineup for the second game of Saturday's doubleheader against Oakland, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

It's seemingly not a COVID-19-related illness, as he hasn't been placed on the injured list and the games have been able to go forward. Isiah Kiner-Falefa will slide to shortstop for the nightcap, with Sherten Apostel making his big-league debut at third base.

Tejeda is not in the lineup for the first game of Saturday's doubleheader against Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

Tejeda has been given a near-everyday role for the Rangers over the past week, and he's responded quite well, hitting .290/.313/.581 with three steals in 32 plate appearances. Elvis Andrus will be the shortstop for Saturday's first game, but Tejeda could return to the position for the nightcap.

Tejeda went 2-for-3 wtih a triple, an RBI and stolen base in Thursday's 6-2 loss to the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Tejeda, making his fifth start in the last six games, legged out his first triple and fourth extra-base hit in seven base knocks overall. He continues to get regular at-bats even as both Rougned Odor and Elvis Andrus have returned from injury.

Tejeda will hit the bench Monday against the Mariners.

EDGE Analysis

Tejeda hits the bench in favor of Elvis Andrus after starting two straight games. The rookie has gone just 4-for-17 at the plate through his first six big-league games, though he's already homered twice and stolen a pair of bases.

Tejeda went 2-for-3 with a solo home run and a stolen base in Saturday's loss to Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Tejeda notched his second two-hit game and drilled his second career home run -- a 390-foot game-tying shot to left field in the seventh inning -- in the loss. He has been used sparingly this season but has collected four hits in 13 at-bats with two homers and two steals in five contests.

Tejeda started at second base and went 0-for-3 in Wednesday's 2-1 loss to the Astros.

EDGE Analysis

This was Tejeda's first appearance since being called up over the weekend. It will be interesting to see how the Rangers deploy him over the final month. The team will be evaluating its younger talent, and there is room for evaluation at second base with Rougned Odor (eye) on the injured list. Nick Solak is also in the mix at second base while Tejeda could slide in at shortstop in place of veteran Elvis Andrus.

Tejeda was recalled by the Rangers on Monday, Jeff Wilson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

EDGE Analysis

Tejeda got into the first three games of his big-league career in early August, going 2-for-7 with a homer and a steal. At-bats could be available in the Rangers' infield, with Rougned Odor landing on the injured list with an eye infection.

Tejeda was optioned to the Rangers' alternate training site Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Tejeda saw minimal playing time during his brief stint with the Rangers but went 2-for-7 with a home run, three RBI and one stolen base. While he'll continue working at the alternate training site for now, he could return to the majors to serve as infield depth at some point in 2020.

Tejeda started at second base Friday and went 0-for-3 in a 4-3 win over the Angels.

EDGE Analysis

Tejeda, who made a splash in his MLB debut Friday, filled in for Rougned Odor for a second straight game. Odor had been unavailable due to an oblique injury, but he returned as the designated hitter Friday. Odor's return suggests Tejada's stay in the starting lineup will end soon. He could see action at shortstop, but the Rangers may be reticent to hand a large role to Tejeda, who had zero experience above High-A prior to 2020.

Tejeda went 2-for-4 with a home run, three RBI, a stolen base and a run scored in Thursday's 6-4 loss to Oakland.

EDGE Analysis

Tejeda, who never played above High-A before this season, made his MLB debut Thursday, filling in for injured second baseman Rougned Odor (oblique). For a brief moment, Tejeda brought excitement to a listless Rangers lineup that's batting .208 after 11 games. Odor is expected to avoid the injured list, and manager Chris Woodward told T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com that he's hoping the second baseman can return Friday or Saturday. That suggests Tejada's window is short one, but if he's generating offense, there could be room for him at shortstop where Elvis Andrus is below the Mendoza Line (.195) after 11 games.
