The Texas Rangers activated left-hander MacKenzie Gore from the paternity list on Saturday and optioned right-hander Ben Peoples to Triple-A Round Rock.
Gore went to the paternity list Wednesday as the Rangers activated left-hander Cody Bradford for his season debut.
Gore, 27, is 6-9 with a 4.55 ERA in 24 starts during his first season with Texas. Over five major league seasons, he is 32-50 with a 4.26 ERA in 129 appearances (126 starts) for the San Diego Padres (2022), Washington Nationals (2023-25) and Rangers.
Gore was an All-Star with the Nationals last season.
