Good morning.
Shawn McFarland checks out what we’ve learned about the Texas Rangers over the last week as they’ve gone on a winning spree to propel themselves back into the hunt.
Kennedi Landry writes that, freed from the horrors of the Oakland Alameda Coliseum, the Rangers swept the A’s as a visitor for the first time since 2015.
McFarland writes that Jacob deGrom was back closer to his dominant form — albeit in just five innings and 79 pitches in Sunday’s win.
McFarland writes that, with nothing to
lose following a slew of injuries to their best players, the Rangers are winning.
Though the Rangers have clawed back to within striking distance of a playoff spot, the Athletic notes the September schedule won’t be easy for Texas.
David Schoenfield checks out the playoff races as we enter September as, indeed, the Rangers are somehow still in it.
McFarland notes that Jake Burger might be close to making a return to add to a hot lineup while the returns of Sam Haggerty and Chris Martin remain up in the air.
And, Landry writes about Nathan Eovaldi still having an impact despite his likely season-ending injury as he’s continues to mentor Jack Leiter.
Have a nice day!
