The Texas Rangers are entering a crucial 12-game stretch, starting with a series against the Pittsburgh Pirates and continuing against the Baltimore Orioles and Seattle Mariners. This period represents a golden opportunity for the Rangers to improve their win-loss record and elevate their playoff aspirations. As they engage in these matchups, key players such as Jacob deGrom are expected to lead the pitching staff after a stellar season performance, positioning him as a potential All-Star representative for the team.

Notably, the Rangers have recalled Justin Foscue to bolster their roster, highlighting their focus on leveraging first-round draft talent. Despite injuries sidelining pitchers Nathan Eovaldi and Tyler Mahle, the Rangers still possess a formidable rotation, with deGrom's 2.24 ERA and impressive strikeout numbers leading the way. In an unexpected twist, outfielder Sam Haggerty is currently leading the team in OPS, showcasing the depth and versatility of the Rangers' roster.
