Texas Rangers Acquire Left-Handed Reliever Andrew Chafin From Detroit Tigers As MLB Trade Deadline Closes
ST. LOUIS — The Texas Rangers added left-handed reliever Andrew Chafin as the MLB Trade Deadline wound down Tuesday.
Chafin is 3-2 with a save and a 3.16 ERA in 37 innings with the Tigers in 2024. He has 50 strikeouts and 16 walks this season. Left-handed hitters are batting .180 with no home runs and 26 strikeouts against him in 16 2/3 innings 2024. Right-handed batters have two homers and are batting .293.
The Rangers are sending minor league right-handed pitchers Chase Lee and Joseph Montalvo to the Tigers for Chafin. Lee, who turns 26 on Aug. 13, has a 1.69 ERA and 11 strikeouts in 10 2/3 innings with Triple-A Round Rock. He was a sixth-round pick in 2021.
To make room for Chafin on the 40-man roster, right-hander reliever Jonathan Hernandez was designated for assignment.
Chafin was the 43rd overall pick in the 2011 MLB Draft by the Arizona Diamondbacks. He made his debut in 204 and spent six seasons with the Diamondbacks before being traded to the Chicago Cubs on Aug. 31, 2020.
Montalvo, who turned 22 in May, is 4-2 with a 2.44 ERA and 73 strikeouts in 13 starts (59 innings) for High-A Hickory this season. He was a 20th-round pick in 2021.
The Rangers have been thin from the left side of the bullpen this season. Jacob Latz has been sporadic, going 2-3 with a 3.63 ERA with a 1.49 WHIP in 39 2/3 innings over 44 appearances.

Texas man accused of killing pregnant wife allegedly cuts off ankle monitor and flees to Italy
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A Texas man facing charges for allegedly killing his pregnant wife has reportedly cut off his ankle monitor and fled abroad.
Lee Mongerson Gilley, 39, is accused of murdering his wife, Christa Bauer Gilley, and the couple’s unborn child in Houston in 2024, according to KPRC.
Gilley was set to appear in court Tuesday, but instead flew from Texas to Canada, and finally Italy, where he told authorities he was seeking asylum after being “wrongfully prosecuted” and is fearful of receiving the death penalty, his attorney told the outlet.
“I’m concerned that the prosecution will try to say that it’s evidence of consciousness of guilt that he’s running from it, but I think he’s just scared,” defense attorney Dick DeGuerin reportedly said.

Gilley, whose murder trial was set to begin later this month, is reportedly in the custody of Italian authorities. His ankle monitor alerted authorities it had been tampered with on Friday, according to the outlet.
DeGuerin told the outlet that before Gilley can be returned to Texas, the state must certify to Italy that he is not eligible for the death penalty — which the prosecution is not seeking in his case.

Prosecutors reportedly allege Gilley initially claimed Christa, who was nine months pregnant, had overdosed and that he had tried to save her with CPR, but a medical examiner later pointed to evidence of strangulation and ruled her death a homicide.

After he was arrested days later, Gilley allegedly admitted his wife was not a drug user or suicidal, and that the couple had been arguing before her death, KPRC reported.
In 2025, while out on bond, prosecutors reportedly allege Gilley and an unnamed woman, whom he had an affair with in 2023, devised a scheme to flee to Mexico and other countries, according to the outlet.

“The Defendant also inquired as to whether she knew of a Mexican identity he could acquire to facilitate his departure from the country,” the document said.
Gilley also allegedly “provided a detailed plan” to remove his GPS monitor and perform a sham marriage to obtain a new identity, prosecutors reportedly said.

Longhorns Daily News: Texas baseball’s Dylan Volantis named SEC’s Co-Pitcher of the Week
The Southeastern Conference (SEC) announced on Monday that Texas baseball pitcher Dylan Volantis will share this week’s Pitcher of the Week award with LSU’s Zac Cowan. From Texas Athletics’ announcement:
“Against No. 10 Mississippi State, Volantis registered a co-career-best 12 strikeouts and scattered three singles across six scoreless innings. After the Bulldogs notched a two-out infield hit in the first, the 6-foot-6, 220-pound left-hander retired 10 of the next 11 batters he faced. Volantis capped off that stretch by punching out the side on only 10 pitches in the fourth. Overall, the Thousand Oaks, Calif., native threw 107 pitches, which marked the most by a Longhorn this year. In Texas’ 3-1 victory, the Longhorns totaled 19 strikeouts, tying their most in a nine-inning game in program history.“
