Jurickson Profar's name has been a hot topic since the youngster came up to take the place of Ian Kinsler and has played well. He had a huge solo home run in the eighth inning Sunday, giving the Rangers the lead in a tie game.
On Thursday, ESPN.com contributor Jim Bowden threw out an interesting "darkhorse" trade candidate for the Texas Rangers. He was asked, on ESPN Dallas 103.3 FM's Fitzsimmons and Durrett show about possible starting pitchers who could be available come July 31.
OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Texas Rangers' Alexi Ogando and the Oakland Athletics' Dan Straily will face off in a battle of right-handers Wednesday afternoon in the final game of a three-game series. First pitch at the O.
OAKLAND, Calif. -- The Texas Rangers had to work 10 innings, but they beat the Oakland Athletics 6-5 and evened their series at one win apiece entering the finale on Wednesday afternoon at the O.co Coliseum.
OAKLAND, Calif. -- After getting his first day off of the season Sunday, right fielder Nelson Cruz will be back in the starting lineup Monday night for the Texas Rangers when they open a three-game series against the Oakland Athletics.
HOUSTON -- For the second straight start, Yu Darvish and the Texas Rangers' offense overcame a 3-1 deficit, this time narrowly getting past the Houston Astros 8-7 on Saturday night at Minute Maid Park.
It was a rough Monday night for Los Angeles Angels right fielder Josh Hamilton -- beyond his 0-for-8 with three strikeouts in a 10-8 loss in 19 innings to the Oakland A's. Hamilton was "honored" with an unofficial Josh Hamilton Appreciation Night by A's fans in right field Monday night in a tribute to his drop of a routine fly ball in last year's final game of the regular season, helping Oakland steal the American League West crown from the Texas Rangers.
MINNEAPOLIS -- The Texas Rangers were shut out for just the second time and lost back-to-back games for the first time this season as the Minnesota Twins won 5-0 on Sunday. Walks will haunt: Rangers starter Alexi Ogando walked Josh Willingham twice Sunday, and Willingham scored both times.
It has not been the kind of start Josh Hamilton had hoped for in an Angels uniform. But really, it's been a continuation of the struggles he had to finish the 2012 season. I don't think I need to revisit how things ended for Hamilton.
Fill-in starter Justin Grimm did just enough squirming and escaping to keep the Rangers in it against Felix Hernandez. Then his teammates did the little, often-overlooked things that win scrappy games like this one on a cold Thursday night at Safeco Field – plays that make their fundamentally based manager proud.
