Cody heads to San Francisco as extra organizational pitching depth after making 15 appearances (five starts) for the Rangers from 2020-2021.

Cody doesn't have enough service time to reject the outright assignment, so he'll remain with the Rangers as organizational pitching depth. The 27-year-old righty has posted a serviceable 3.71 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 32/15 K/BB ratio across 34 innings at the big-league level since 2020.

The right-hander is expected to be out until the second half of the 2022 season after undergoing surgery on his right shoulder. Activating Cody from the injured list is just a transactional formality. 

The Rangers are hopeful that he'll be ready for the second half of the 2022 season, but this is obviously a discouraging development. The right-hander has been sidelined since late April when he was initially diagnosed with shoulder inflammation.
