Tejeda is starting at second base and hitting eighth Thursday against the Athletics, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Tejeda is set to make his big-league debut in place of the injured Rougned Odor (oblique). The 22-year-old spent the entire 2019 campaign with High-A Down East, slashing .234/.315/.386 with four home runs and nine steals in 158 plate appearances.

The Rangers recalled Tejeda from their taxi squad Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Tejeda's prospect sheen has worn off in recent years, but the 22-year-old shortstop will at least give the Rangers a healthy body in the infield with Danny Santana (forearm) on the injured list and Rougned Odor (oblique) listed as day-to-day. The 22-year-old spent the entire 2019 campaign at High-A Down East, slashing .234/.315/.386 with four home runs and nine stolen bases in 158 plate appearances.

Tejeda batted .500 (7-for-14) with a double, a home run, six RBI and six runs scored during the Cactus League.
EDGE Analysis
The 21-year-old Tejeda showed no signs of the shoulder injury that wiped out three months worth of games in 2019. He rocked 19 home runs and stole 11 bases in 2018 and has shown interesting power from the middle infield spot. Tejeda's shown signs of swing-and-miss at the plate, but the 25/15 upside is there.

Tejada (shoulder) singled in his only at-bat Friday in a spring game against the Royals.
EDGE Analysis
Anderson, who missed the final three months of the 2019 season at High-A Down East with a left shoulder subluxation, is at full strength, T.R. Sullivan of MLB.com reports.

Tejeda (shoulder) was added to the Rangers' 40-man roster Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
It was a disappointing campaign for Tejeda, who took a step back in a repeat of High-A and then missed the second half of the season with a subluxed left shoulder. Now that he is on the 40-man roster, he may be challenged with an assignment to Double-A.

Tejeda will miss the rest of the season with a subluxed shoulder, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
He suffered the injury back on May 29 while sliding into a base. This was already a rough campaign for the 21-year-old shortstop prospect, as he took a step back (101 wRC+ in 43 games) in his repeat of High-A after logging a 117 wRC+ in 121 games there in 2018.

Tejeda was placed on High-A Down East's 7-day injured list Friday with left shoulder discomfort and is expected to be sidelined for at least a couple of weeks, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Fortunately for Tejada, the injury is to his non-throwing shoulder, perhaps sparing him of a more extended absence. In any event, it's a less-than-ideal setback for the 21-year-old, who had already been struggling at the plate during his repeat season in the Carolina League. After posting a .770 OPS with Down East in 2018, Tejada has seen that mark slip to .701 this season while noticing a nearly five-point uptick in his strikeout rate (32 percent).

Tejeda went 4-for-5 with a home run, stolen base, four runs and three RBI in High-A Down East's 10-9 loss to Carolina on Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Tejeda squared up on the ball well Wednesday, lacing three singles up the middle and driving a fourth-inning offering over the right-center fence for his 19th home run of the season. The 20-year-old has a lot of swing and miss in his game (27.1 percent strikeout rate), but offers above-average power from the left side for a middle-infield prospect. Though he's seen most of his action at shortstop this season, Tejeda isn't regarded as a polished defender and may wind up at second base or center field in the long run.

Tejeda went 4-for-5 with two home runs, four RBI and four runs scored for High-A Down East on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Tejeda, who homered for the second straight game, has hit in four straight, going 10-for-16 with two doubles, three home runs and eight RBI. The 20-year-old shortstop has hit eight homers over 48 games for the Wood Ducks, matching the total hit last year in 115 games, and leads the Carolina League with 41 RBI. Tejeda still some issues with contact, but is hinting at a power-hitting middle infielder with double-digit steals potential.

Tejeda, 19, is slashing .233/.302/.373 with four home runs, 30 RBI and eight steals through 86 games for Low-A Hickory.
EDGE Analysis
Tejeda has 105 strikeouts over that span. He'll have an intriguing power/speed combination for a middle infielder once he fills out, though must improve his contact at the higher levels.
