Player Outlook
Justin Foscue has been an impressive contact hitter in the minors, but he is blocked in Texas and his lack of defensive utility lessens his appeal to other teams in trade talks. No longer a viable defensive option at second base (where he is eligible in fantasy) or even third base, Foscue may lack the power potential to get an extended look at first base or designated hitter. He had excellent plate discipline marks (15.1 BB%, 12.4 K%) and mediocre impact metrics (25.8 Hard%, 103.1-mph 90th percentile EV) while being old (24) for a legitimate Triple-A prospect. If Foscue projected to be a quality defender, his offensive output would be perfectly fine, but he will probably be limited to short-side platoon at-bats or indefinite work at Triple-A until he gets traded to a second-division team.

  • Rangers' Justin Foscue: Moved to 60-day IL

    Rotowire
    The Rangers transferred Foscue (oblique) to the 60-day injured list Satuday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports. The Rangers selected Austin Pruitt's contract from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday to make up for the loss of Brock Burke (hand), so Foscue will move to the 60-day IL in order to clear space on the 40-man roster. The 25-year-old infielder has only been on the injured list since Monday, so he won't be eligible to return until June 7.

  • Rangers' Justin Foscue: Officially called up

    Rotowire
    The Rangers called up Foscue from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.comreports. The 24-year-old missed out on Texas' Opening Day roster but will join the club less than a week into the regular season since Josh Jung is headed to the injured list with a fractured wrist. Foscue isn't in the lineup for Tuesday's game in Tampa Bay but should soon make his MLB debut, and he could be in store for at least semi-regular playing time in the corner infield spots with Jung and Nathaniel Lowe (oblique) sidelined.

  • Rangers' Justin Foscue: Poised for promotion

    Rotowire
    The Rangers will call up Foscue prior to Tuesday's game against the Rays, Jeff Passan of ESPN.com reports. Foscue nearly made the team out of spring training and will receive an early promotion as a replacement for Josh Jung (wrist). The 25-year-old can handle first base, second base and third base and should receive fairly regular playing time in the corner infield spots with both Jung and Nathaniel Lowe (oblique) on the shelf. Foscue slashed .266/.394/.468 with 18 home runs, 14 steals and a 70:85 K:BB over 122 games with Triple-A Round Rock last season.

  • Rangers' Justin Foscue: May not have edge at first base

    Rotowire
    Foscue may not have the edge to fill in at first base while Nathaniel Lowe (oblique) is on the injured list, according to Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com. Wilson reported the Rangers' preference at first base is to have Ezequiel Duran and Jared Walsh platoon as a replacement for Lowe. For that to happen, shortstop Corey Seager (groin) would need be ready by Opening Day, freeing Duran to play first base. Foscue, who was projected to start at first base in the latest roster projection compiled by Kennedi Landry of MLB.com, would be on the bubble. Designated hitter is a possibility, but Wyatt Langford appears to have the edge for that job.

  • Rangers' Justin Foscue: Dealing with side issue

    Rotowire
    Foscue reported feeling pain in his side Friday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports. Foscue said he didn't feel any discomfort in his side Saturday, but the Rangers will still keep him shut down for a few days as a precaution. The 25-year-old has registered eight hits in 26 at-bats this spring and currently projects to open the season as Texas' primary DH.

  • Rangers' Justin Foscue: Logs third spring double

    Rotowire
    Foscue started at designated hitter and went 2-for-4 with a double in Monday's spring game against the Angels. Foscue ripped his third double of the spring and is 7-for-20 over eight Cactus League games. His 21 plate appearances this spring are second on the club, which suggests the Rangers are giving him an audition for the roster. Foscue was listed as the primary DH on the first two projected Opening Day rosters assembled by Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. There is not a clear path to playing time as a position player, partially due to his limited range and a fringy arm; therefore, DH is the best bet for Foscue. He's hit well in the upper minors and drew more walks (85) than strikeouts (70) in 2023, which suggests he could handle MLB pitching.

  • Rangers' Justin Foscue: Focusing on first base this spring

    Rotowire
    Foscue will primarily work out at first base for the Rangers this spring, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports. Foscue has predominantly been a second baseman, but with Marcus Semien holding down the keystone in Texas, Foscue's best path to playing time lies elsewhere. The 24-year-old did see some action at first base down the stretch last season at Triple-A Round Rock, so the position isn't totally foreign to him. Foscue is also an option at designated hitter for the Rangers, and he might see action at third base if Josh Jung's calf injury lingers into the regular season.

  • Rangers' Justin Foscue: Projected at DH

    Rotowire
    Foscue is tentatively projected as the primary designated hitter, per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. Foscue had a strong season at Triple-A Round Rock in 2023, posting an .862 OPS with 18 home runs, 84 RBI, 94 runs, 14 steals and more walks (85) than strikeouts (70) over 122 games for the Express. He's a natural second baseman but is blocked in the majors by Marcus Semien. As such, the Rangers plan to expose him to corner infield during spring training, which would set him up in a possible utility infielder/DH role. Designated hitter is the lone unsettled spot on offense for the Rangers.

  • Rangers' Justin Foscue: Working out at infield corners

    Rotowire
    Foscue's defensive work this offseason has been focused mainly on first and third base, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports. Foscue -- who is a natural second baseman -- plans to receive most of his reps leading into spring training at first base. During his time at Triple-A Round Rock in 2023, Foscue made starts at every infield spot aside from shortstop, in addition to nine starts at designated hitter. The 2020 first-round pick's best chance at extended playing time with the Rangers in 2024 -- barring an injury to one of the team's starters -- likely would be as a utility infielder and/or DH. Foscue slashed .266/.394/.468 with 18 home runs and 14 stolen bases over 122 contests with Round Rock last season.

  • Rangers' Justin Foscue: Selected to 40-man roster

    Rotowire
    The Rangers selected Foscue to their 40-man roster Tuesday. The 14th overall pick in the 2020 MLB Draft out of Mississippi State University, Foscue registered a promising .862 OPS with 18 homers, 84 RBI, 14 steals and 94 runs over 122 games this past season for Triple-A Round Rock. He could make his big-league debut with the reigning World Series champions at some point during the 2024 campaign.

  • Rangers' Justin Foscue: Collects three hits

    Rotowire
    Foscue went 3-for-5 with three RBI and a run scored for Double-A Frisco on Tuesday. Foscue, who has strung together three straight games with multiple hits, extended his hitting streak to six games. During that stretch, he's 11-for-27 (.407) with three walks, two doubles, six RBI and four runs scored. He's shown greater knowledge of the zone and an improved contact rate in 2022, his second stint at the Double-A level. A top-five prospect in the organization, Foscue is slashing .283/.374/.455 with 32 RBI and 26 runs scored over 49 games for the RoughRiders.

  • Rangers' Justin Foscue: Returns to action at Frisco

    Rotowire
    Foscue (undisclosed) has gone 4-for-24 with a home run, two walks, three RBI and two runs in six games for Double-A Frisco since being reinstated from the 7-day injured list June 8. Foscue was sidelined for about a week and a half due to an unspecified injury. The 23-year-old infielder is slashing .266/.371/.477 with four home runs and a stolen base over 151 plate appearances at Frisco this season.

  • Rangers' Justin Foscue: Back on IL

    Rotowire
    Foscue is back on the IL at Double-A Frisco, according to The Prospect Times. He hasn't played since May 29. The nature of his injury and his timeline for return are unclear, but it's another bad break for Foscue, who already missed time due to a back issue earlier this season. When healthy, he's put up good numbers for Frisco, batting .288/.400/.519 with three homers and a sharp 19:20 BB:K through 28 games.

  • Rangers' Justin Foscue: Building up at extended spring

    Rotowire
    Foscue wasn't included on Double-A Frisco's season-opening roster last week, as he's continued to work out at the Rangers' extended spring training facility after experiencing back stiffness early in camp, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports. Foscue doesn't currently reside on Frisco's injured list, perhaps hinting that he could soon be ready to make his season debut. In his first year of professional ball in 2021, the 23-year-old Foscue split time across three affiliates and compiled a .961 OPS.

  • Rangers' Justin Foscue: Battling back soreness

    Rotowire
    Foscue is dealing with back soreness, Levi Weaver of The Athletic reports. The back issue will prevent Foscue from pushing for an Opening Day roster spot, though it's unlikely he ever had much of a chance, as he's yet to reach Triple-A and wasn't particularly good in 26 Double-A games, either, hitting .247/.317/.387. It's possible he hits the minor-league injured list to start the season, though the Rangers aren't concerned about any long-term issues for the 23-year-old, calling his absence precautionary.
