Rangers bring up infielder Jonah Bride, option outfielder Alejandro Osuna

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Texas Rangers selected the contract of infielder Jonah Bride from Triple-A Round Rock and had him in the starting lineup for Sunday’s game against Baltimore at third base.

The right-handed hitting Bride faced Orioles left-hander Cade Povich. Rangers manager Skip Schumaker indicated Bride could start again on Monday night against Los Angeles Angels left-hander Reid Detmers as Texas begins a seven-game California road trip.

Bride, 30, hit .282 with 10 home runs and 60 RBIs in 97 games for Round Rock this season. His most recent action in the major leagues came with Minnesota in June 2025.

The Rangers optioned outfielder Alejandro Osuna to Round Rock to make room for Bride on their active roster.

Osuna hit .255 with one home run and 24 RBIs in 76 games with the Rangers.

Lane Kiffin stands by D.J. Pickett wearing the No. 5 of former LSU QB Jayden Daniels

LSU coach Lane Kiffin said Thursday that he is standing by his initial stance on allowing cornerback D.J. Pickett to wear the No. 5 jersey previously worn by 2023 Heisman Trophy winner Jayden Daniels — even in the face of objections and legal threats from the former Tigers quarterback. “I commented a week ago on that,” Kiffin said after practice in Baton Rouge. “That's the comment that I had and we're moving forward.” LSU's official online store has removed replica Daniels jerseys from the menu of those for sale, which include the No. 9 of 2019 Heisman Trophy winner Joe Burrow and the No. 3 of former star receiver Odell Beckham Jr. Meanwhile, Pickett showed no interest in relinquishing the No. 5 when he spoke with reporters after Thursday's practice.
