Rangers reinforcements loom as Texas fights for the AL West and a playoff path. Tyler Mahle’s next rehab start appears to set up a weekend return to the rotation, with Adolis García targeting a Monday return in Houston to reignite the lineup. The club also eyes clearance for Corey Seager, Danny Coulombe, Sam Haggerty, Marcus Semien, Nathan Eovaldi, Jon Gray, Evan Carter, Josh Sborz and Cody Bradford in the final two weeks. Depth pieces could shape the sprint to the finish and a potential postseason run.

With 11 on the IL, Texas leans on youth and depth. Seager’s appendectomy could push him back in the last week to 10 days; Semien might return in the final week; Eovaldi isn’t healthy for the regular season but could factor in a playoff push. Carter and Latz provide potential bullpen and rotation depth as the schedule features Mets, Yankees, Astros and Marlins, testing the team’s resilience and fantasy upside.

Overall, the window til season’s end is about strategic timing: Mahle’s health, García’s ramp, and the IL returns could unlock meaningful two-start weeks and DFS value as the Rangers navigate a crowded IL chart and critical late-season series.
