struggled to an 0–3 record and 5.59 ERA in 8 appearances for the team before being designated for assignment on June 17. He was outrighted to the Triple-A Round Rock Express on June 19. After posting a 5.60 ERA with 42 strikeouts through 10 games for Round Rock, the Rangers selected Yang's contract on August 24. On August 30, Yang was returned to Triple-A Round Rock.

Yang made 12 appearances for Texas, posting a 5.60 ERA with 25 strikeouts. On October 4, Yang elected free agency. Kia Tigers (second stint) On December 24, 2021, Yang returned to the Kia Tigers. He achieved various milestone records, including the youngest 2,000 innings, the youngest 150 wins, 100 innings for nine consecutive seasons, 2,100 innings, 9,000 batters, 1,800 strikeouts, eight consecutive double-digit wins, three-digit strikeouts, and 170 innings. However, it can be seen that the war based on statistics is 1.69, which is relatively lower than the superficial grade. The reason for this is, first of all, a slightly higher ERA of 3.85 in the pitching and hitting season. It is significantly lower than the ERA of 4.70 in the 2020 season before entering the U.S., and is ranked eighth among native starters who filled the 2022 season's regulatory innings, but it is a little higher considering that it is a pitching and hitting season. In addition, it can be seen that ERA+ or FIP+ has also been lowered due to the lack of pitching quality due to the situation where the ball is falling. There were not many home runs, but the fact that 141 strikeouts in the season are the minimum strikeouts in his season since 2013 is evidence of his poor pitching. Since Statistics War is based on runs, not earned runs, the fact that the non-recruiting runs are 11 points (13) will also have an impact. However, war has different calculation methods for each site and contains some parts that the player cannot control, so it is better to see it integrally with other records rather than blindly believing. However, even considering that, it cannot be denied that the figure of 1.69 is sluggish compared to the name value of Yang Hyeon-jong. He set a milestone of 170 innings for the first eight consecutive seasons in
