Corey Seager Returns From IL, Powers 3-2 Win

-
Last night, Rangers shortstop Corey Seager returned from the 10-day injured list, where he had been sidelined since May 18 with back tightness, and immediately made an impact for his club. With Texas trailing 2-1 in the sixth inning, Seager sent a first-pitch slider into the left-centerfield bleachers for a go-ahead two run home run, his eighth of the season. The Rangers held onto the 3-2 lead and took home the victory.

Rangers Sign LHP Marco Gonzales to Minor League Deal

-
On Tuesday, the Rangers signed lefthanded pitcher Marco Gonzales to a minor league contract. Gonzales has pitched ten seasons in the Majors between 2014 and 2024, compiling a 66-50 career record, including 16 wins in 2019. He topped MLB with 34 starts in 2019 and a 9.14 strikeout-to-walk ratio in 2020. While he didn't pitch at all in 2025, he is back at it again in 2026, having pitched in AAA with the Padres before signing with Texas.  Throughout his career, Gonzales has never been a high-velocity pitcher, often averaging under 90 miles per hour with his fastball. Instead, he relies on decent extension and strong command, and has found some success at the highest level. However, at age 34 and after a full season off, Gonzales should not be expected to provide more than organizational depth.

Texas Rangers' Hopes for the Second Half

-
As the all-star break comes to a close, the Texas Rangers have a 48-49 won-loss record, putting them 3.5 games out of a wildcard spot. While this is certainly a disappointment, they haven't been a bad  team this year, and certainly have some time to turn their season around. However, in order to keep their playoff hopes alive, a few things need to go right for Texas.  The Lineup Needs To Return To Form   It is no secret that the Rangers' offense has been vastly underperforming this season, but let us not forget that it's largely the same lineup that led the team to the World Championship only two years ago, with a couple key additions. If Josh Jung finds his footing in AAA in time for a call-up and Wyatt Langford lives up to his true ability, Texas could once again sport one of the deadliest lineups in the game. With a hot start to the second half, they could potentially hang onto Adolis Garcia and start building at the deadline.  The Team Needs To Get Healthy  ...

Three Hall of Famers You Forgot Played for the Rangers

-
Every MLB team has had a Hall of Famer grace its roster, and these all-time great players usually make the largest impact. The Rangers have had their share of Hall of Fame talent throughout the years, from Nolan Ryan to Pudge Rodriguez to Adrian Beltre, but several others made only brief stops with the club. Here are three Hall of Famers you forgot played for the Rangers.  Rich "Goose" Gossage   Rich "Goose" Gossage pitched in the big leagues from 1972 through 1994, becoming the second pitcher to earn 300 saves in 1988. A nine time all-star and three time league leader in saves, Gossage made a stop in Texas in 1991, posting a 3.57 ERA in 44 appearances as a setup man behind closer Jeff Russell.  Bert Blyleven   Bert Blyleven, a 287-game winner between 1970 and 1992, was best known for his work in Minnesota and Cleveland, but he made an impact on the Rangers during his brief tenure with the club. He made a total of 54 starts with Texas in 1976 and 1977, completing 29...
