Top Rangers News

  • Rangers' Kumar Rocker: Struggles vs. Minnesota

    Rocker (2-6) was tagged with the loss Tuesday against the Twins after allowing seven runs (six earned) on seven hits -- including two home runs -- and two walks across 3.1 innings. He struck out four.

    The six earned runs allowed established a new season-high mark for Rocker, who had given up two or fewer in five of his previous six outings. His inconsistencies on a game-to-game basis have hurt his appeal, as he's not a pitcher who can produce above-average strikeout rates or regularly pitch deep into games. He owns a 4.17 ERA and 1.41 WHIP in 14 appearances (13 starts) and 69 innings in 2026. Rocker is in line to make his next start next week on the road against the Marlins.

  • Rangers' Josh Smith: Returns to action

    Smith started at second base and went 1-for-4 in Tuesday's 12-2 loss to the Twins.

    Smith started for the first time since being activated from the injured list Monday. A glute injury landed him on the IL in early May and was followed by a wrist issue and a case of viral meningitis. At the time of his injury, Smith was batting .217 with six RBI through 31 games and his hold on the starting job at second base was tenuous. Ezequiel Duran was making a push for more playing time and nothing has changed since. Lately, Duran has covered shortstop while Corey Seager (concussion) works his way back, but Smith is still in jeopardy of sliding back to a utility/part-time role.

  • Rangers' Sebastian Walcott: Remains on schedule for return

    Walcott (elbow) will begin to ramp up his activity soon and is still on track for a late-July or early-August return to a minor-league affiliate, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

    Walcott, who has played catch at moderate distances and swung off a tee while rehabbing in Arizona, was brought to Arlington over the weekend for a change of environment. His rehab from an internal brace procedure on his right elbow has gone according to plan. "I feel pretty good, I feel physical," Walcott said. "I'm looking forward to being back soon. The rehab has been going really smoothly, so I'm happy with that." Walcott's career left off at Double-A Frisco, for whom he played 124 games in 2025, and he could rejoin the organization at Triple-A Round Rock when ready to return.

  • Rangers' Josh Smith: Returns to lineup

    Smith (glute/wrist/illness) is starting at second base and batting seventh versus the Twins on Tuesday.

    Smith was activated from the 10-day injured list Monday and came off the bench versus the Twins, getting his first plate appearance since May 3. Tuesday is the 28-year-old's first start following his activation Monday.

  • Rangers' Kyle Higashioka: Sitting again Tuesday

    Higashioka not in the lineup Tuesday versus the Twins.

    Tuesday will be Higashioka's second consecutive omission from the starting lineup. The catcher came off the bench in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Twins, but only in a fielding capacity. Elias Diaz has the start again behind the plate and is batting ninth Tuesday.

  • Rangers' Nicky Lopez: Steps in at shortstop

    Lopez started at shortstop and went 1-for-3 in Monday's 4-2 loss to the Twins.

    Lopez filled in at shortstop after the Rangers placed Corey Seager on the 7-day concussion list. Lopez should share starts with Josh Smith and Ezequiel Duran while Seager is sidelined.

  • Rangers' Joc Pederson: Goes deep in Monday's loss

    Pederson went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run and was hit by a pitch in Monday's loss to Minnesota.

    Pederson did all of Texas' offensive damage in the loss, clubbing a two-run homer into the right-field seats in the third inning. The veteran slugger entered Monday in a bit of a slump, having gone 3-for-21 (.143) across his previous eight appearances. On the year, Pederson has been an effective platoon bat against right-handed pitching, slashing .246/.352/.458 with nine homers, 25 RBI and 27 runs in 214 plate appearances.

  • Rangers' MacKenzie Gore: Fans 10 in sixth loss

    Gore (4-6) took the loss Monday, allowing four runs on four hits and two walks over seven innings against Minnesota. He struck out 10.

    Gore struggled out of the gate, surrendering a three-run homer to Josh Bell in the first inning, but he was able to settle in and allow just one more run across the next six frames. The southpaw's 10 strikeouts marked a season high after he had previously topped out at nine punchouts on two occasions. Gore will carry a 4.27 ERA, 1.31 WHIP and 86:35 K:BB across 78 innings (15 starts) into his next outing, tentatively scheduled for Sunday against San Diego.

  • Rangers' Josh Smith: Returning from injured list

    The Rangers activated Smith (glute/wrist/illness) from the 10-day injured list Monday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Smith first landed on the IL in early May with a strained glute, and he subsequently also dealt with wrist inflammation and a bout of viral meningitis. He played eight rehab games between Double-A Frisco and Triple-A Round Rock, posting a .925 OPS with two homers and two steals. Smith hit just .217/.324/.239 before going on the IL, but he should play plenty, either as a regular at second base or in a utility role.

  • Rangers' Corey Seager: Placed on concussion injured list

    The Rangers placed Seager on the 7-day concussion injured list Monday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Seager was involved in a collision at home plate with the Royals' Carter Jensen last Thursday, resulting in an injury to his ribs and jaw in addition to a mild concussion. Ezequiel Duran will likely handle the bulk of the reps at shortstop while Seager is sidelined, though Josh Smith (illness) could also be in the mix after he returned from the IL on Monday.

  • Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Receiving rare night off

    Duran is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.

    The Rangers will give Duran a much-overdue breather for the series opener, after the 27-year-old made 41 consecutive starts across six different positions dating back to April 29. Even if Corey Seager (ribs/jaw) is able to avoid a stint on the injured list and if Josh Smith (illness) is activated from the IL later this week, Duran should still have a pathway to a near-everyday role due to his ability to play all over the infield and outfield. Duran has been one of the Rangers' top hitters this season, with his .760 OPS placing him third among the 12 players on the team that have logged 100 plate appearances.

  • Rangers' Kyle Higashioka: Sitting Monday

    Higashioka is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.

    The Rangers will give Higashioka a breather for the series opener, paving the way for Elias Diaz to receive a turn behind the plate. Higashioka should continue to see the bulk of the starts at catcher while Danny Jansen (forearm) is on the injured list.

  • Rangers' Corey Seager: Out again Monday

    Seager (ribs/jaw) is out of the lineup for Monday's game against the Twins.

    Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said Sunday that in addition to dealing with ribs and jaw soreness after a collision at home plate in Thursday's win over the Royals, Seager is also experiencing "mild concussion symptoms," per Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports. Despite that combination of injuries, Seager hasn't been deactivated and is continuing to be viewed as day-to-day after he was able to do some hitting, throwing and weightlifting Sunday, per MLB.com. Nicky Lopez will pick up a start at shortstop Monday in place of Seager, who is on the bench for a fourth consecutive game.

  • Rangers' Justin Foscue: Joins lineup again

    Foscue started at second base and went 3-for-3 with a run scored in Sunday's 6-4 win over Boston.

    After a period of limited activity, Foscue found himself in the starting lineup for a second consecutive game. Ezequiel Duran has been the primary second baseman, but he was needed at shortstop to cover for the injured Corey Seager (ribs/jaw), who has been sidelined for three straight games and is dealing with concussion symptoms. Both of Foscue's starts have come against lefties, and he is expected to be replaced by Nicky Lopez against right-handers.

  • Rangers' Brandon Nimmo: Delivers two doubles Sunday

    Nimmo went 2-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Red Sox.

    Nimmo doubled up on doubles, with the first driving in two runs in the fourth inning before he added another two-bagger in the sixth frame. The veteran outfielder has been racking up hits of late, recording four multi-hit efforts across his past five starts. In his first season with the Rangers, Nimmo is hitting .257/.330/.408 with seven homers, 25 RBI, 28 runs and two stolen bases through 69 appearances.

  • Rangers' Wyatt Langford: Blasts leadoff homer in win

    Langford went 1-for-4 with a solo home run, an additional run scored and a walk in Sunday's 6-4 win over the Red Sox.

    Langford launched the first pitch of the game from Connelly Early 418 feet over the left-field wall to give the Rangers an early lead that they wouldn't relinquish. Since returning from the injured list June 5, the outfielder has gone 9-for-36 (.250) with two homers, four RBI, six runs and three walks across nine appearances. On the year, Langford is slashing .241/.285/.397 with three homers, eight RBI, 15 runs and three stolen bases in 29 contests.
