Wed, Sep 9, 2026, 7:59 PM
Foscue started at second base and went 1-for-3 with a walk in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Seattle.
Analysis: The Rangers faced Mariners left-hander Kade Anderson, which meant Foscue entered the starting lineup. It was the fifth southpaw in the club's last eight games, and Foscue has done well with his recent surge in plate appearances. His single Wednesday extended a hit streak to seven games, during which he's gone 8-for-21 with two doubles, one home run and seven RBI. Foscue is batting .271 with an .838 OPS across a career-high 218 plate appearances. |

Wed, Sep 9, 2026, 5:57 PM
Bradford (0-5) took the loss Wednesday against the Mariners, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out one.
Analysis: Bradford gave up a run on a Taylor Ward two-out single in the second inning before Seattle added two more on a Cole Young double in the fourth. Bradford has failed to make it through six innings in any of his last five starts. His ERA now sits at 4.72 through seven outings (34.1 innings) this season with a 1.57 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB. Bradford will look to get in the win column his next time out, tentatively slated to come on the road in Arizona. |

Wyatt Langford Wyatt Langford Goes deep in win
Wed, Sep 9, 2026, 11:26 AM
Langford went 1-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and one steal in Tuesday's 10-5 win over the Mariners.
Analysis: The 24-year-old ended a 12-game power drought Tuesday with his two-run homer during the fifth inning. Langford batted .179 (7-for-39) during the homerless stretch, but he still showed a good eye at the plate with a 13:7 BB:K. Through 401 plate appearances this season, he has a .245/.332/.442 slash line with 16 long balls, 12 steals, 38 RBI and 57 runs scored. |

Nicky Lopez Nicky Lopez Makes first start in weeks
Wed, Sep 9, 2026, 6:53 AM
Lopez started at second base and went 3-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 10-5 win over Seattle.
Analysis: Lopez made his first start since Aug. 19. At one point, he was the primary second baseman, but he's fallen into a part-time role since the middle of August. That dip in playing time coincides with an ineffective bat; Lopez entered Tuesday's contest with a .136/.197/.186 slash line over his 68 plate appearances. |

Josh Jung Josh Jung Opens rehab assignment
Wed, Sep 9, 2026, 6:33 AM
Jung (calf) went 2-for-5 with a double and an RBI for Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.
Analysis: Jung opened a rehab assignment with the Express and played all nine innings as the designated hitter. Rangers manager Skip Schumaker told Kennedi Landry of MLB.com that there's a plan for Jung's rehab but that could change depending on how quickly he responds to activity. With 17 games left in the regular season and Texas 1.5 games back of a wild-card spot, the Rangers might be best served to activate Jung sooner rather than later. |

Tue, Sep 8, 2026, 6:08 PM

Analysis: Jung hasn't seen the field since July 21 due to a strained left calf, but he's now ready for game action after recently progressing to facing live pitching. It's not clear how many rehab games the 28-year-old will require before being reinstated, but it's possible he's back with the Rangers this weekend in Arizona. |

Ben Peoples Ben Peoples Dispatched to Round Rock
Mon, Sep 7, 2026, 4:51 PM
The Rangers optioned Peoples to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.
Analysis: He's being sent back down to accommodate the return of Robert Garcia (shoulder) from the injured list. Peoples has managed a 2.76 ERA in 16 appearances for the Rangers, but a 10:8 K:BB over 16.1 innings is not inspiring. |

Mon, Sep 7, 2026, 4:49 PM
The Rangers activated Garcia (shoulder) from the 60-day injured list Monday.
Analysis: Garcia has been sidelined since April with left rotator cuff inflammation, but he's been reinstated after making just one scoreless rehab appearance. The lefty reliever could be eased back into high-leverage situations for the Rangers. |

Justin Foscue Justin Foscue Involved in win
Mon, Sep 7, 2026, 9:29 AM
Foscue started at second base and went 1-for-4 with a double and two RBI in Sunday's 8-6 win over Tampa Bay.
Analysis: Per usual, Foscue was in the lineup against a left-handed starter and delivered a game-tying double in the fourth inning to erase the Rays' early lead. He's hit safely in five straight games, going 5-for-14 with two doubles, one home run and five RBI during that streak. When not starting, he's often a mid-game replacement when opponents bring in a lefty reliever. |

Duran went 3-for-5 with one RBI and one run scored in Sunday's 8-6 win over the Rays.
Analysis: Duran has collected seven multi-hit efforts over his last 17 games, going 24-for-63 (.381) in that span.

Analysis: Burger tagged Ian Seymour for a solo shot in the second inning and a two-run blast in the fourth. Burger had gone 10 games without a long ball, adding just two doubles and three RBI in that span. The first baseman is up to 25 homers on the year while batting .239 with a .738 OPS, 82 RBI, 60 runs scored, 21 doubles and three stolen bases over 137 contests. |

Jakob Junis Jakob Junis Collects sixth save
Sun, Sep 6, 2026, 5:41 PM
Junis pitched a perfect inning to earn the save in Sunday's 8-6 win over the Rays.
Analysis: Jacob Latz was used to protect a one-run lead in the eighth inning. The Rangers added some insurance in their half of the frame before Junis shut things down to pick up his first save since June 21. Despite the lack of saves, Junis has worked pretty well in a setup role. He's allowed three runs over 9.1 innings while collecting three holds since returning from an adductor strain. On the year, the veteran reliever has a 2.74 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 35:12 K:BB while adding six saves, 17 holds and one blown save over 49.1 innings. |

MacKenzie Gore MacKenzie Gore Struggles against Rays
Sun, Sep 6, 2026, 5:38 PM
Gore allowed five runs on six hits and three walks while striking out one over three-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Rays on Sunday.
Analysis: Neither of Gore or Ian Seymour were able to provide much length as starters. The Rays' four-run second inning did much of the damage on Gore's line. He's now allowed 13 runs over his last 23.2 innings across five starts, falling short of the five-inning mark twice in that span. For the season, Gore has a 4.51 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 170:63 K:BB across 157.2 innings through 30 starts. He is projected to make his next start at Arizona. |
