Rangers add Pillar, lose prospect Rosario to elbow injury

Outfielder Kevin Pillar is putting off retirement, signing a minor league deal with the Texas Rangers on Sunday.

The deal includes an invitation to spring training.

Also Sunday, general manager Kevin Young said pitcher Alejandro Rosario, the No. 56 overall prospect as ranked by ESPN.com, has an elbow injury and likely will miss the 2025 season.

Pillar underwent offseason thumb surgery, and after it healed, he said he felt as if he could continue playing.

"I know I said I was gonna retire, but I'm entitled to take that back," Pillar said, per MLB.
