Haggerty started at second base and went 3-for-3 with a double and three RBI in Saturday's spring game against the Cubs.
EDGE Analysis
The 31-year-old is known more for his work in the outfield, but he can play multiple infield positions and will get a shot at backing up Josh Smith, who is the presumptive starter at second base. Haggerty is not a lock to make the Opening Day roster, but efforts like Saturday, plus his defensive versatility, will help. If he earns a roster spot, Haggerty could be a sneaky source of steals for fantasy lineups; he stole 12 bags in 64 games last season and has double-digit steals in three of the last four seasons.

Haggerty (ankle) took live batting practice against teammate Nathan Eovaldi on Sunday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Haggerty didn't see action after mid-August of last season due to a setback in his recovery from an ankle issue during a September rehab assignment. That didn't deter the Rangers from tendering him a contract this offseason, and he's in good shape to win a utility job on the Opening Day roster. In addition to being able to play all three outfield spots, second base, third base and shortstop, the switch-hitting Haggerty will give Texas a weapon against left-handed pitching. He slashed .318/.376/.435 across 94 plate appearances versus southpaws in 2025.

Haggerty agreed to a one-year contract with the Rangers on Friday, avoiding arbitration.
EDGE Analysis
Haggerty inked a minor-league deal with Texas in February and was up in the big leagues six weeks into the regular season. The 31-year-old primarily worked in a utility role and had a .253/.328/.370 slash line with 12 steals and 31 runs in 181 plate appearances.

The Rangers transferred Haggerty (ankle) to the 60-day injured list Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Haggerty landed on the 10-day injured list in mid-August due to left ankle inflammation. He was cleared to embark on a rehab assignment in early September but was shut down after experiencing a setback, and his transfer to the 60-day IL means his 2025 campaign is done. Haggerty will end the season with a .253/.328/.370 slash line with 12 steals, 31 runs, two home runs and 13 RBI over 181 plate appearances. The move corresponds with Wyatt Langford (oblique) being placed on the 10-day IL and the Rangers selecting Billy McKinney's contract from Triple-A Round Rock.

Haggerty (ankle) will be shut down from his rehab assignment until Wednesday after experiencing a setback, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Haggerty experienced some pain in his left ankle, so the club has elected to slow his rehab assignment. He'll presumably be back in the mix Wednesday and could return from the 10-day injured list later in the week if he's able to log a few solid appearances in the minors.

Haggerty (ankle) ran the bases at Globe Life Field on Wednesday and is slated to begin a rehab assignment Friday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Haggerty has been shelved since mid-August with left ankle inflammation but is almost ready to test things out in game action. The emergence of Michael Helman could throw a wrench into Haggerty's playing time, but Haggerty is hitting .318/.376/.435 versus lefties and offers positional versatility, so he should still find his way into the lineup against southpaws once he's ready to return.

Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Sunday that Haggerty (ankle) is about a week away from resuming a running program, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
EDGE Analysis
Haggerty has been on the shelf since Aug. 17 due to left ankle inflammation, and given that he's still not running two weeks later, he may not be ready to return from the 10-day injured list until around mid-September in a best-case scenario. Once Haggerty makes his way back from the IL, he'll likely handle a short-side platoon role at designated hitter or in the outfield.

The Rangers placed Haggerty on the 10-day injured list Sunday due to left ankle inflammation.
EDGE Analysis
Haggerty went 0-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base and a run scored Saturday before being removed in the bottom of the fifth inning. His move to the IL a day later suggests that he may have tweaked his ankle while running to first base on a groundout in the top of the fifth. Texas recalled infielder Cody Freeman from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday in a corresponding move.

Haggerty is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Phillies.
EDGE Analysis
The Rangers just faced three straight left-handed starting pitchers, and Haggerty set the table in each of those contests while going 3-for-11 with a walk, a double and an RBI. Though he'll retreat to the bench Sunday against Zack Wheeler, the switch-hitter looks like he'll continue to occupy a prominent spot in the batting order against southpaws.

Haggerty went 2-for-5 with a double, a stolen base, an RBI and a run scored in Friday's 8-3 win over Atlanta.
EDGE Analysis
Haggerty singled to lead off the first inning, stole his 10th base of the season and scored the Rangers' first run. He later doubled in the team's fourth run. Haggerty was activated from the 10-day injured list Friday and was in the starting lineup against a left-hander. He normally has has a spot in the lineup against southpaws.
