Texas Rangers lineup for May 19, 2026, against the Colorado Rockies: starting pitchers are Tyler Alexander for the Rangers and Sammy Peralta for the Rockies.
The Rangers and the Rockies face off again, with each team using a lefthanded opener to start things off. Kumar Rocker is the scheduled starter for Texas, but given his first inning struggles this year, they are apparently wanting to go with the opener strategy and let Rocker face the lower part of the lineup rather than the top of the lineup when
he first takes the mound. Justin Foscue is hitting second, while Evan Carter is in the ninth spot — most likely so the Rangers can avoid him facing the lefty Peralta. Peralta has not pitched in the majors this year, and has not thrown more than 2 innings in a game in the minors this year.
The lineup:
McCutchen — DH
Foscue — 2B
Nimmo — RF
Jung — 3B
Duran — SS
Burger — 1B
Osuna — LF
Jansen — C
Carter — CF
7:40 p.m. Central start time. The game is a pick ‘em.
