The Rangers selected Teodo's contract from Double-A Frisco on Tuesday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Teodo, 23, collected a 1.98 ERA and 110:50 K:BB over 86.1 innings this season with Frisco. The right-hander has a career 13.1 percent walk rate in the minors, but he also boasts a 32.2 percent strikeout rate and has electric stuff. Teodo needs more seasoning but has the upside of a front-line starter if he can throw enough strikes.

Rangers' Emiliano Teodo: Returns to action for Frisco
Rotowire
Teodo was reinstated from Double-A Frisco's developmental list Saturday. He turned in a scoreless appearance against Amarillo, striking out two and issuing one walk over one inning.
After being held out of action for three months while he was on the development list, Teodo returned for one final appearance before Frisco's season ended. The 23-year-old righty made 20 appearances (19 starts) for the Double-A club in 2024, logging a 1.98 ERA and 110:50 K:BB across 86.1 innings.

Rangers' Emiliano Teodo: To development list
Rotowire
Double-A Frisco transferred Teodo to the development list Wednesday.
Teodo walked eight batters in seven innings over his last two starts, so perhaps the team saw something mechanical they wanted to address with the hard-throwing right hander. Given how late it is in the season, it's possible we won't see him again until next year. Teodo has some of the best pure stuff in the minors, and he logged multiple starts this year with double-digit strikeouts. Walks remain an issue, however, as he had a 13.8 percent walk rate while holding opposing batters to a .178 average against.
Teodo (forearm) has allowed two earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out four in 5.1 innings across two starts since being activated from High-A Hickory's 7-day injured list May 24.
Teodo hasn't started either contest, as he's instead been deployed as a bulk reliever in tandem outings with Dane Acker, who was reinstated from the IL that same day after being sidelined for the first seven weeks of the season with an unspecified injury. Until both young hurlers are fully stretched out, Teodo and Acker may continue to work in a tandem.

Rangers' Emiliano Teodo: Out with forearm issue
Rotowire
Teodo is on the injured list at High-A Hickory with minor forearm tightness, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
With young, hard-throwing pitching prospects, there usually isn't such a thing as "minor" forearm tightness, but per Grant's report, Teodo is only expected to need several days off from throwing before ramping back up. He has some of the best stuff in the system, but Teodo may not have good enough command or control to start long-term. The 22-year-old can touch 101 mph with his four-seam fastball as a starter and also has a plus slider that can touch 94 mph.
