Haggerty entered Tuesday's game as a pinch runner, stole a base and scored a run in a 2-0 win over Toronto.
EDGE Analysis
Haggerty scored the game-winning run after pinch running for catcher Kyle Higashioka in the eighth inning. The steal was his third in 15 games since his contract was selected from Triple-A Round Rock earlier this month. A recent spate of injuries resulted in Haggerty starting nine straight games -- seven in center field and the last two at DH -- before he opened Tuesday's game on the bench.

Haggerty started at designated hitter, batted leadoff and went 0-for-5 in Sunday's 5-4 win over the White Sox.
EDGE Analysis
Haggerty moved from center field to DH against a right-hander, a role that had been occupied by Joc Pederson until a broken hand landed him on the 10-day injured list Sunday. Pederson is expected to miss at least six weeks, which means opportunities exist in the outfield or DH for Haggerty, who has been a regular presence in the lineup since his contract was selected earlier this month. Those opportunities may dry up once Evan Carter (quadriceps) is ready to be activated from the 10-day injured list. Haggerty is batting .233/.283/.395 with one home run, two RBI, two steals and five runs scored over 13 games.

Haggerty started in center field, batted leadoff and went 2-for-5 with a solo home run and was caught stealing in Wednesday's 4-3 loss to the Yankees.
EDGE Analysis
Haggerty launched his first home run of the season in the seventh inning to give the Rangers a 3-1 lead. He made a fourth straight start in center field since Evan Carter (quadriceps) landed on the 10-day injured list and has hit safely in all four contests. He's also batting leadoff against lefties. Haggerty's making the most of this opportunity and has hit safely in all six games in which he's started. Carter's injury is a Grade 2 strain which will likely require more than the 10-day minimum, so the opportunity for Haggerty could be an extended one.

Haggerty started in center field and batted leadoff Sunday, going 1-for-4 with a run scored in a 4-3 loss to Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Haggerty stepped in for Evan Carter on Saturday, when the latter was scratched due to a quad issue. The injury landed Carter on the 10-day injured list, is considered a Grade 2 strain and will likely force him to miss two weeks at least, according to MLB.com. That likely means the switch-hitting Haggerty and righty-batting Kevin Pillar will split duties in the center field.

Haggerty started in center field and went 1-for-3 with a walk, a double and a run scored in Saturday's 5-1 win over Houston.
EDGE Analysis
Haggerty was a late addition to the starting lineup after Evan Carter (quad) was scratched, per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. Texas manager Bruce Bochy said Carter's removal was precautionary, but he's not expected to play Sunday. Haggerty is expected to fill in as the primary center fielder until Carter is healthy.

Haggerty started in center field and went 1-for-4 with an RBI in Friday's 2-1 loss to Detroit.
EDGE Analysis
Haggerty was called up earlier in the day and found himself starting against a left-hander. The lefty-hitting Evan Carter started the previous three games -- all against righties -- but was held out against a southpaw, which historically have given Carter problems.

The Rangers selected Haggerty's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Haggerty inked a minor-league deal with Texas during the offseason after missing most of last season due to an Achilles injury, and he's enjoyed a strong start to 2025 at Round Rock with a .313/.383/.398 slash line and seven steals in 22 games. The 30-year-old will provide the Rangers with some outfield depth, though he's also seen action at first, second and third base during his big-league career. He's starting in center field and batting leadoff for the Rangers on Friday in Detroit.

Haggerty (Achilles) will start at second base and bat leadoff in Wednesday's Cactus League game against the Reds.
EDGE Analysis
While he was with the Mariners organization last season, Haggerty didn't play after May 18 last season due to a torn right Achilles' tendon that required surgery, but he's made a speedy recovery from the procedure. After inking a minor-league deal with the Rangers over the winter, Haggerty was cleared to make his Cactus League debut Feb. 21, and he'll now see his first action in the infield after making each of his first four spring starts in left field. The 30-year-old switch hitter is competing for a bench spot on the Rangers' Opening Day roster.

The Rangers signed Haggerty (Achilles) to a minor-league contract Monday that includes an invitation to spring training, Jon Heyman of the New York Post reports.
EDGE Analysis
Haggerty underwent surgery last May to repair a torn right Achilles tendon and it's not clear what level of participation he'll have in spring training or the start of the season. The switch-hitting utility player has a career .263/.355/.452 batting line versus left-handed pitching, so he could fill a niche role with the Rangers eventually.
