The Texas Rangers have made a pivotal move to address their struggling starting rotation by signing veteran left-handed pitcher Patrick Corbin. This decision comes in light of injuries affecting key pitchers Jon Gray and Cody Bradford, leaving the Rangers in dire need of reliable innings. Corbin, despite leading the MLB in losses and WHIP over the past few seasons, brings a wealth of experience and has pitched a significant number of innings, ranking among the top in that category since 2020.

President of Baseball Operations Chris Young emphasized the importance of adding a dependable innings-eater like Corbin, who not only provides depth but also has a winning mentality that can positively impact the clubhouse. Rangers’ manager Bruce Bochy mentioned that even in worst-case scenarios, Corbin can help save the bullpen for more critical games. With Corbin's recent performance showing promise, the Rangers are optimistic about his potential to contribute meaningfully to their pitching staff this season.
