What happened: The Texas Rangers selected shortstop Connor Comeau with the 54th overall pick in the 2026 MLB Draft. Comeau arrives from L.C. Anderson High School in Texas.

Why it matters: The second-round pick adds a prep infielder to a farm system behind a Rangers club sitting at 48-46 with a two-game winning streak. Early-round prep shortstops typically carry long development timelines before reaching the majors.

What to watch: Comeau moves into contract talks with the Rangers before beginning his path through the minor league system.
