Rangers News
The Texas Rangers continue to tread water, now sitting at 24-26 after a frustrating 6-9 loss to the Angels, and the team's recent run differential of +10 over the last week isn't enough to mask their struggles. Relief came with the news that third baseman Josh Jung's shoulder is not as serious as initially feared, a vital update for a team still battling injuries. To bolster their roster, the Rangers claimed Blaine Crim off waivers from the Rockies, giving them a fresh option at first base while sending right-hander Carter Baumler to the 60-day IL. Jacob Latz, a versatile arm in the bullpen, is also stepping up, solidifying his role as a reliable closer amidst the turmoil. With the Angels struggling at 18-34, the Rangers have an opportunity to build momentum, but they need to capitalize on it starting today.
