Latest news and updates about the Rangers
The Texas Rangers have signed infielder Nicky Lopez to a one year deal, the team announced today. To make room for Lopez on the active roster, the Rangers have designated outfielder/DH Andrew McCutchen for assignment. I’m really baffled by this move. McCutchen hasn’t hit well this season, slashing .192/.277/.260, including a .186/.300/.302 line against lefthanded […]

Morning, all! Tuesday was Josh Jung’s first game back after missing two games with a sore shoulder, an injury that “freaked him out”due to a surgery he had for a torn labrum on the same shoulder four years ago. Jacob deGrom hasn’t missed any starts but maybe he wishes that he had, as he’s been […]
Astros 10, Rangers 7
Every bit of the euphoria from Monday’s combined no-hitter was gone before the Astros came up to bat a second time. Poor defense and poor location by starter Jason Alexander (L, 1-1) led to an 8-run first inning by the Texas Rangers (25-29), a hole the Houston Astros (24-32) could not overcome this evening. In […]
The Texas Rangers scored ten runs while the Houston Astros scored seven runs. Tonight’s starter for Houston Jason Alexander must feel like the biggest chump alive. After the Rangers nearly experienced a perfect game against them in Anaheim two games ago, and then saw these Astros toss a no-hitter against them last night, Alexander had […]
TONIGHT’S GAME: Tonight, the Houston Astros (24-31) and Texas Rangers (24-29) will play the 2nd game of a 4-game series at Globe Life Field in Arlington, TX.

Texas Rangers lineup for May 26, 2026 against the Houston Astros: starting pitchers are Jack Leiter for the Rangers and Jason Alexander for the Astros. Sigh. Its another game. The Rangers have tried their very best the last several games not to get hits, and accomplished that yesterday. Hopefully today will be different. Josh Jung […]
Last week’s edition of Rangers Reacts asked folks about whether the 2026 Texas Rangers are meeting your expectations. They are not: I whopping 0% of you said the Texas Rangers are exceeding your expectations for 2026. And perhaps most remarkably, this poll went up before the team was swept in Anaheim, and then no-hit by […]
Good morning. Shawn McFarland writes about what we learned about the Texas Rangers over the last week wherein naked honesty probably would not have been fit to print. Evan Grant writes that a whole bunch of cycled-through professionals over the last three years haven’t been able to figure out how to get the Rangers to […]
Astros 9, Rangers 0
Tatsuya Imai (W, 2-2) hurled 6 innings of no-hit ball, Yordan Alvarez and Christian Walker homered and the Houston Astros (24-31) pummeled the Texas Rangers (24-29) 9-0 in the first game of their four-game series at Globe Life Park in Arlington. It’s a huge mark for Imai, who was making his 6th start of the […]
The Texas Rangers had zero hits but the Houston Astros scored nine runs. I think in some regards it is at least interesting that we are getting to experience the worst lineup that perhaps the Rangers have ever fielded in franchise history. It certainly isn’t pleasant but at least it’s historic. All you really need […]
The Texas Rangers did not have a hit on Monday night.
TONIGHT’S GAME: The Houston Astros (23-31) and Texas Rangers (24-28) begin a 4-game series at Globe Life Field in Arlington, TX.

Texas Rangers Pre/Post Game Host Jared Sandler from 105.3 The Fan KRLD-FM joins us to preview the upcoming four game tilt from Globe Life Field. Q: How big is this 4-game series for each club? A: I’m just not a big believer that this time of year truly shapes or defines the rest of the […]
Good morning. Shawn McFarland writes that with Josh Jung the latest infirmed, the Texas Rangers were forced to get creative with their lineup in Sunday’s finale. That creative lineup struck out 16 times and the Rangers were nearly perfecto’d as they were swept by the worst team in baseball. MLB dot com’s Jack Janes writes […]
Angels 2, Rangers 1
The Texas Rangers scored one run but the Anaheim Angels scored two runs. Ok, let’s focus on the positive for a moment. MacKenzie Gore allowed one run on one hit and struck out seven Angels batters over six innings as he rebounded from pitching just one inning in his last start which he left with […]
