Jeffress remains on the restricted list as the Players Association reviews his situation, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jeffress was reportedly arrested for a possible DWI early Friday morning, which led the Rangers to place him on the restricted list. According to Grant, Jeffress' history of infractions is resulting in MLB and the Players Association being extra diligent as they review his case. With that, Jeffress' status remains up in the air and the Rangers will be without one of their trade deadline acquisitions for the time being.

Jeffress will initially pitch in a setup role to closer Sam Dyson despite picking up 27 saves during his time with Milwaukee, Ryan Baillargeon of MLB.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Jeffress could be asked to close out a victory if Dyson has appeared in multiple straight games but Jeffress' value in weekly formats takes a pretty substantial hit as long as Dyson remains effective.

Jeffress has been traded to the Rangers as a part of a multi-player deal that will also send Jonathan Lucroy to Texas, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Brewers flipped Will Smith and Jeffress in separate non-waiver deadline deals, which effectively leaves Tyler Thornburg in position to take over as the closer in Milwaukee. Jeffress will provide a boost to the back of the Texas bullpen, after posting a 2.22 ERA and 1.25 WHIP while going 27-for-28 in save chances for the Brewers, and it's reasonable to think that he could emerge as a ninth-inning option again if the Rangers view him as an upgrade over Sam Dyson.

Jeffress needed one out to record his 25th save of the season in Friday's 2-1 victory over the Pirates.
EDGE Analysis
Brewers starter Junior Guerra was one out away from his first complete game, but forced manager Craig Counsell's hand when he allowed two aboard. That opened the door for Jeffress to record his second save in as many nights. The 28-year-old closer is now 25-for-26 in save opportunities this season and owns a slick 2.11 ERA in 42.2 innings.
