Rangers News
The Texas Rangers extended their winning streak to four games with a 2-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals, but the team’s reliance on strong pitching is becoming a double-edged sword. Jacob deGrom, taking the mound later today, needs to be at his best given the recent concerns surrounding the bullpen, highlighted by a disastrous performance just days ago against the Royals. Meanwhile, the decision to release Josh Sborz reflects ongoing roster adjustments as the Rangers grapple with injuries, including Chris Martin's shoulder impingement. The rotation's struggles indicate that the hefty investments in pitchers have yet to pay off, putting pressure on the hitters like Josh Jung and Joc Pederson to step up. With a record of 29-31, every game counts as they aim to climb back into contention in the AL West.
