Reks was granted his release from the Rangers on Tuesday after agreeing to a one-year, $310,000 contract with the Korea Baseball Organization's Lotte Giants, Jee-ho Yoo of the Yonhap News Agency reports.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old had logged 34 plate appearances in the majors this season but has seen the bulk of his action at Triple-A Round Rock, with whom he slashed .331/.421/.579 over 34 games. Reks will spend the rest of 2022 in the KBO with the hope of playing well enough to earn a more lucrative MLB deal during the upcoming offseason.

Reks was designated for assignment by the Rangers on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Reks was sent to the minors just under a month ago, and he'll lose his spot on the 40-man roster as part of a move after Jonathan Hernandez (elbow) was reinstated from the 60-day injured list Saturday. Reks will likely remain at Triple-A Round Rock if he goes unclaimed on waivers.

The Rangers optioned Reks to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Reks' latest stint in the big leagues lasted 10 days, with the 28-year-old appearing in seven games while going 4-for-12 with a run scored. With Texas bringing back designated hitter/catcher Mitch Garver (illness) from the COVID-19-related injured list and Josh H. Smith (shoulder) back from the 10-day IL, the team no longer had room on the roster for Reks as a depth option.

Reks was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Reks was optioned to Round Rock earlier this month, but he will rejoin the big club with fellow outfielder Steele Walker landing on the COVID-19 Related injured list. As he did earlier in the season, expect Reks to fill a reserve spot in the Rangers' outfield.

Reks was optioned to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

EDGE Analysis

He has already been summoned from the minors and sent back down a couple times this season. Reks is hitting .227 with one double and eight strikeouts in 22 big-league at-bats.

Reks started in left field and went 0-for-4 in Monday's 9-5 win over the Rays.

EDGE Analysis

With Brad Miller (hip) landing on the injured list, the lefty-hitting Reks was called up and got the start against Tampa Bay righty Drew Rasmussen. This is Reks' second stint in Texas, after he previously went 4-for-14 with three RBI over six games. For Triple-A Round Rock, Reks slashed .337/.427/.629 over 103 plate appearances.

Reks was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Reks spent just under two weeks with the major-league club in late April and early May, and he went 4-for-14 with a double, three RBI, two runs and six strikeouts over six games. However, he'll provide additional outfield depth for the Rangers after Brad Miller (hip) was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday.

Texas optioned Reks to Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

Lefty Kolby Allard was called up from Triple-A to replace Reks on the 26-man active roster. Following his April 30 promotion, Reks largely served as a reserve outfielder for the Rangers, seeing action in six games while posting a .643 OPS across 14 plate appearances.

Reks went 1-for-2 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's 6-4 win over the Phillies.

EDGE Analysis

Reks' pinch-hit, two-run double turned out to be the game-winning hit. He's hit safely in all three games since being called up to the majors, including 2-for-2 as a pinch hitter. Reks remained in the game and played left field. Since his callup, he started in left field against the one right-handed starter the Rangers faced, which suggests he could be moving ahead of Brad Miller as the primary left fielder against righties. More insight should be gleaned when Texas faces Zack Wheeler on Wednesday.

Reks went 1-for-2 as a pinch hitter then left fielder during Sunday's 7-3 win over Atlanta.

EDGE Analysis

With a left-hander hurling for Atlanta, lefty hitters Reks and Brad Miller took a seat, while Nick Solak started in left. After Solak and Eli White were removed for pinch hitters midgame, Reks took over in left field. That was interesting in that Miller, who started the season as the primary left fielder, remained on the bench while the recently called-up Reks entered the contest.
