Junis' mutual option for the 2027 season wasn't exercised Friday, making him a free agent, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
It's unclear whether Junis or the Rangers turned down his $5 million option for next season, but the 34-year-old righty will return to free agency either way after logging a 3.64 ERA and 1.27 WHIP over 54.1 innings in his lone season with Texas. He should have little trouble attracting interest from teams in need of bullpen help, though no potential landing spot would offer him regular save opportunities.

Junis pitched a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 8-6 win over the Rays.
Jacob Latz was used to protect a one-run lead in the eighth inning. The Rangers added some insurance in their half of the frame before Junis shut things down to pick up his first save since June 21. Despite the lack of saves, Junis has worked pretty well in a setup role. He's allowed three runs over 9.1 innings while collecting three holds since returning from an adductor strain. On the year, the veteran reliever has a 2.74 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 35:12 K:BB while adding six saves, 17 holds and one blown save over 49.1 innings.

The Rangers reinstated Junis (thigh) from the 15-day injured list Saturday.
Junis went on the injured list July 30 due to a left adductor strain. He was on the IL for just beyond the minimum and didn't need to embark on a rehab assignment. He'll join the Rangers for the rest of the team's weekend road series against the Athletics, to which he'll bring a 2.70 ERA and 1.08 WHIP across 40 innings this season. Marco Gonzales was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

Junis (adductor) completed a bullpen session Tuesday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Junis was able to throw roughly 20 pitches during Tuesday's session, and he announced that he will throw another bullpen Thursday. The team is expected to reassess the right-hander's status after Thursday, as he continues to work his way back from a left adductor strain that has sidelined him since July 30. Junis is eligible to be activated from the 15-day injured list Thursday, but a return in late August now appears to be a more realistic goal.

Junis (adductor) threw out to 90 feet Friday and expects to toss a bullpen session Monday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Junis landed on the 15-day injured list July 30 due to a left adductor strain. The fact that he's throwing suggests that the issue isn't severe, and Junis has said that he's hoping for a quick recovery. However, it's unclear at this point if he'll be ready to return when first eligible Aug. 13.
RotoWire via ESPN · Aug 8
The Rangers placed Junis on the 15-day injured list Thursday with a left adductor strain.
It's unclear when or how Junis was injured, but it will cost him at least the next two weeks of action. Junis has been one of the Rangers' best relievers this season, logging a 2.70 ERA and 30:7 K:BB over 40 frames. His spot on the roster and in the bullpen will be taken by Winston Santos.
