Ahlstrom fortifies Texas’ relief depth heading into their final two games of the regular season against the Twins. The 27-year-old lefty has posted an inflated 6.08 ERA across 37 innings at the highest level this season.

The 27-year-old southpaw has really struggled in 42 appearances with the Rangers this season, posting a 6.08 ERA, 1.43 WHIP and a 34/15 K/BB ratio over 37 innings of work. He’ll continue to refine his craft at the Triple-A level for the time being.

Ahlstrom returns to Texas’ bullpen with both Cole Winn (shoulder) and Peyton Gray (elbow) landing on the injured list. The 27-year-old southpaw posted an underwhelming 6.03 ERA across 31 1/3 innings for the Rangers earlier this season.

Ahlstrom has struggled for most of the season in the Rangers’ bullpen, posting a disappointing 6.03 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and a 28/10 K/BB ratio over 31 1/3 innings in his 36 appearances. He’ll work on his craft at the Triple-A level for the time being. A corresponding move will be made prior to Friday’s series opener.

Ahlstrom receives his first opportunity with the Rangers after compiling a strong 2.76 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 33/8 K/BB ratio across 29 1/3 innings on the doorstep of the majors this season. He’s also notched a pair of saves during that span. The unheralded 26-year-old southpaw will operate in low-leverage spots for the Rangers initially.
