Texas Rangers face a pivotal seven-game week after posting a 2-4 mark in a six-game stretch capped by three late-game collapses, two injuries, and a blowout loss. The club sits 5-11 since the trade deadline and must climb three teams in 37 remaining games to reach the AL Wild Card. Core tenuous questions center on whether Corey Seager, Marcus Semien, and Nathan Eovaldi can steady the lineup and rotation, while the bullpen—Hoby Milner, Shawn Armstrong, Danny Coulombe, Phil Maton and Robert Garcia—faces overuse risk as the offense sputters against weaker opponents. The next seven games against Kansas City and Cleveland will likely decide whether Texas still has a realistic playoff shot, especially with Cleveland two games up and KC just one-and-a-half ahead. Fantasy managers should prioritize Seager and Eovaldi for steady counts, monitor the bullpen arms for save chances, and regard Royals-Guardians matchups as the true season-definers.
