Ahmed started at shortstop and went 0-for-2 in Wednesday's 5-2 loss to the Athletics.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed had his contract selected from Triple-A Round Rock earlier in the day and was in the starting lineup against a left-hander. He was summoned from the minors after the Rangers placed Corey Seager (hamstring) on the 10-day injured list. Josh Smith, who pinch hit for Ahmed and finished Wednesday's game at shortstop, will share the position while Seager rehabs. Expect Ahmed to start against southpaws and Smith against righties.

The Rangers selected Ahmed's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

With Corey Seager (hamstring) headed to the injured list, Texas will call upon Ahmed to fill the opening on their roster. The 35-year-old hasn't played in a game since re-signing with the Rangers on a minor-league deal last week, but he's been working out at the team's complex in Arizona and figures to serve as the primary shortstop until Seager is healthy. Walter Pennington was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

The Rangers re-signed Ahmed to a minor-league contract Tuesday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

The Rangers signed Ahmed to a minor-league contract that includes an invitation to major-league spring training Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed, 34, spent the 2024 campaign splitting action with the Giants, Dodgers and Padres. A glove-first middle infielder, Ahmed slashed .229/.267/.295 with two home runs and 17 runs batted in across 71 regular-season games last year. The veteran will look to win a job behind Marcus Semien, Corey Seager (hip/hernia) and Josh Smith in the middle of the Rangers' infield this spring.

The Padres selected Ahmed's contract on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed is back in the majors and will provide infield depth in the absence of Mason McCoy, who was placed on the 10-day injured list with back inflammation. While Ahmed has been in the San Diego organization since Sept. 1, he never made an appearance with a minor-league affiliate and was instead working at the team's complex in Arizona.

EDGE Analysis

Ahmed has seen his playing time dwindle over the last few weeks, totaling only 24 at-bats so far in August. Following the return of Tommy Edman (wrist) and Max Muncy (oblique) from the injured list Monday, the club has elected to send the veteran shortstop to the waiver wire.
