| 5/25/25 | Blue Jays former star facing retirement after latest roster decision. One of the Toronto Blue Jays' best players of the 2010s might soon be looking at the end of his MLB career. Kevin Pillar, the brilliant defensive centerfielder with some sneaky pop, hasn't played for the Blue Jays since 2019, but his highlight reel still runs easily through the mind when recalling his days in Toronto. This weekend, Pillar was designated for assignment by the Texas Rangers. The next possible steps are that Pillar is traded, claimed off waivers, or clears waivers and either takes an assignment to Triple-A or asks for his unconditional release.

| 5/18/25 | Rangers Make Multiple Key Roster Moves Ahead of Their Sunday Matchup With Astros. The Texas Rangers have been making a significant amount of roster decisions in recent weeks as they try to settle their lineup a bit and find the best possible combination of talent. Ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Houston Astros, they have had to make two more choices as the injury bug hits once again however. The four moves being made according to a press release from the team are Kevin Pillar being activated from the 10-day injured list, Caleb Boushley being recalled from Triple-A Round Rock, Cole Winn ending up optioned to Triple-A, and then Evan Carter heading to the 10-day injured list. Getting Pillar back is a positive for the team, as his fielding has been solid this season, and while his batting has been less than optimal at times, he has shown flashes of success.
