They called him up from Triple-A, where he had been performing well in the early stages of the 2024 campaign, to start on Thursday against the Detroit Tigers. The results of his first MLB outing were not satisfactory, though. He was roughed up for seven runs (all earned) and couldn’t get out of the fourth inning. “Jack Leiter’s final line in his MLB debut: 3.2 IP, 8 H, 7 ER, 3 BB, 3 K on 85 pitches,” Talkin’ Baseball tweeted. Jack Leiter's final line in his MLB ..read more

(Photo by Tom Pennington/Getty Images)   The Texas Rangers are one pitcher away from fielding an entire starting rotation on the injured list. As of Tuesday, they have Cody Bradford, Tyler Mahle, Max Scherzer, and Jacob deGrom on the shelf. Nathan Eovaldi (2.92 ERA) has been his usual reliable self, but outside of Michael Lorenzen and his tiny workload so far (five scoreless innings), the rest of the staff has an ERA over 4.30: Jon Gray (4.38), Dane Dunning (4.50), and Andrew Heaney (6.75). The reigning World Series champions are looking for more talented arms to contribute to the rotatio ..read more

(Photo by Julio Aguilar/Getty Images)   The Texas Rangers received some bad news when Josh Jung had to depart Monday’s game after suffering an injury when he swung and missed a pitch. He was subsequently placed on the injured list, and the Rangers called up top prospect Justin Foscue to replace him. More details on the procedure and Jung’s timetable became public on Wednesday, and they confirm a rather long absence for the talented corner infielder. “On Josh Jung, based on post surgery report, Rangers are operating on 8-10 week time frame. Repair a little bit more involved than appeared t ..read more

(Photo by Thearon W. Henderson/Getty Images)   The Texas Rangers are one of the best teams in baseball. They are the reigning World Series champs, and they still have help on the way in the form of young players and top prospects. Sure, there is a strong core with Corey Seager, Marcus Semien, Nathaniel Lowe, Adolis Garcia and others; but the Evan Carter, Josh Jungs, and Leody Taveras represent the next generation. You can go ahead and officially add another name to the mix of young contributors, with Wyatt Langford breaking camp with the team. “Welcome to the Show, Wyatt Langford! @MLBPip ..read more

(Photo by Steph Chambers/Getty Images)   The defending champion Texas Rangers are hoping for similar success in 2024. They will bring back most of their roster and even added some reinforcements. One player the Rangers need to stay healthy to compete for another World Series is shortstop Corey Seager. He is an often-injured player, but when he is on the field he is elite. But, he underwent surgery for a sports hernia before spring training. His status is up in the air for Opening Day. According to Evan Grant, Rangers manager Bruce Bochy is optimistic about Seager’s availability for Openin ..read more

(Photo by Harry How/Getty Images)   The Texas Rangers are the reigning World Series champions. Against all odds and despite Jacob deGrom being out for most of the season and Corey Seager losing significant playing time due to injury, they were able to overcome all obstacles and lift, for the first time in franchise history, the World Series trophy. An important part of their victory can be explained by their amazing offense. Their pitching wasn’t bad, but certainly not as brilliant as those nine players hitting the cover off the ball night in and night out. For the first time in months, t ..read more

(Photo by Ron Jenkins/Getty Images)   The Texas Rangers and star slugger Adolis Garcia appeared headed toward an arbitration meeting. Those can get really ugly and, as we saw with the Milwaukee Brewers and Corbin Burnes, can end up being detrimental. Fortunately, for the parties involved, there was another way of avoiding the hearing: by agreeing to sign a two-year deal that would cover Garcia’s first and second arbitration campaigns. His salary for 2026, his last season of arbitration eligibility, will be determined when the time comes. For now, the reigning World Series champs and one o ..read more

(Photo by Carmen Mandato/Getty Images)   The Texas Rangers and outfielder Adolis Garcia were set to have an arbitration hearing after not being able to agree on his 2024 salary. That would have been a mistake by the Rangers: Garcia was one of their most important players in their 2023 World Series run, and risking ruining their relationship in an uncomfortable hearing was not a very smart move. Yet there is light at the end of the tunnel for Rangers fans: the team was able to agree on a contract with Garcia for the 2024 season. That’s not all: you can include 2025 in the pact, too. “Adoli ..read more

(Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images)   The Texas Rangers have to be having the best offseason of any MLB team. But, it is not because of the moves they made to improve their team. Rather, it is due to what they are celebrating this offseason. The Rangers won their first World Series this past season and that puts them at the pinnacle of the league. But, they got even more news to be excited about when it was announced that Adrian Beltre was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. According to the Rangers on Twitter, Beltre has announced he will be entering the Hall as a Ranger. Adrián B ..read more
