  "account": "Phoenix, Arizona - September 11, 2026 - The Texas Rangers have placed Michel Otanez on the 15-day injured list due to a viral illness, according to a team announcement. To replace Otanez on the active roster, the Rangers have recalled left-handed pitcher Adam Macko. Otanez was called up yesterday to replace Robbie Ahlstrom, who was optioned. The Rangers may have decided against recalling Ahlstrom due to his limited big league experience. Adam Macko, acquired from the Jays for Josh Smith and Josh Stephan at the trade deadline, has made only seven appearances for the Rangers, totaling 6.2 innings pitched. In his last two major league outings, he has allowed four runs, with the most recent occurring eight days ago. It's possible that the Rangers wanted Macko to reconnect with his former teammates before sending him back down for another player on Monday.",
