Texas topped Chicago 6-0 behind Edward Cabrera’s five earned runs over five innings, with Jack Leiter exiting early and the Rangers’ bullpen sealing the win.

New York enters the 2026 NHL Draft Lottery with an 11.5% chance to land the No. 1 pick, chasing Gavin McKenna as a potential franchise-changing addition after a tough season. The lottery could echo past luck that helped Lafrenière, with Ivar Stenberg likely going No. 2 and a pack of top prospects—Carels, Reid, Rudolph, Verhoeff, Malhotra, Belchetz, Klepov—considered for a top-five selection.
The Texas Rangers placed outfielder Wyatt Langford on the 10-day injured list with a Grade 1 flexor strain, likely a short stint, and recalled Alejandro Osuna. Langford has slashed .238/.274/.363 through 84 plate appearances this year, below his recent production, and the club will cover left field with Durán, Haggerty, McCutchen, and Osuna while he heals; Durán has looked strongest among the group (.298/.353/.447), while McCutchen, 39, has been limited in the outfield. Langford previously dealt with a quad strain this season but did not land on the IL then.
Jacob deGrom yielded a first-inning homer to Shohei Ohtani but settled in for six innings of one-run ball as the Texas Rangers defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers 5-2. He struck out 15 and delivered a quality start to limit the bullpen workload, while the Rangers racked up 10 hits and 10 walks, leaving several scoring chances unresolved. Evan Carter homered, Josh Jung went 2-for-3 with two walks and a double, and Texas moved into a first-place tie with Oakland in the AL West despite some missed opportunities. The bullpen held on after a brief rough patch.
The New York Rangers delivered a dismal performance with only nine shots in a 2-1 loss to the Ottawa Senators, tying a 71-year franchise low for shots; a later note suggested they had 10 in a subsequent game, sparking humor about stat accuracy amid a forgettable season.
Veteran outfielder Andrew McCutchen makes the Texas Rangers' Opening Day roster, adding veteran depth to a right-handed balance in the lineup, while Kumar Rocker wins the fifth starter job over Jacob Latz. Cal Quantrill and Austin Gomber were cut from the roster, and Latz will begin in a bullpen role. Rocker joins a rotation with Jack Leiter, Jacob deGrom, Nathan Eovaldi, and MacKenzie Gore, forming a potentially elite but injury-prone group.
New York Rangers acquire forward Jacob Battaglia from the Calgary Flames in exchange for Brennan Othmann; Battaglia, 19, has posted 43 points in 52 OHL games this season and brings leadership experience, while Othmann heads to Calgary.
With the 3 p.m. deadline looming, New York officially sent Sam Carrick to Buffalo for 2026 picks, while Vincent Trocheck remains the marquee trade chip whose high price has teams watching; Minnesota’s bid has cooled but several clubs are in play as Drury seeks a strong return and uses roster-management moves to navigate the final hours.
Rangers center Vincent Trocheck says he’s prepared for a potential trade by the 2026 NHL deadline but will not accept any deal sending him to a West Coast team, citing his 12‑team no‑trade list and a desire to play for a contender while staying near his East Coast family.
Matvei Michkov scored twice, including the overtime winner, as the Flyers erased a 2-0 deficit to beat the Rangers 3-2 in New York; Zegras added the other goal, Ersson made 23 saves on 25 shots, and Philadelphia collected a crucial two points in the playoff push.
Madison Square Garden Sports' board approved exploring a plan to spin off its two franchises into separate publicly traded companies: the Knicks (and Westchester Knicks) as one company, and the Rangers (and Hartford Wolf Pack) as another. There is no timeline or guarantee; approvals from the NBA and NHL are required, and the move would aim to give each franchise clearer focus and investor characteristics, reflecting Dolan-era corporate restructuring.
Fangraphs released its 2026 Top 100 Prospects list, noting a total of 110 players meeting the threshold. The Texas Rangers are represented by five prospects overall: Sebastian Walcott at 30 (limited by a UCL injury), Yolfran Castillo at 70, Caden Scarborough at 71, David Davalillo at 89, and Winston Santos at 103. Castillo stands out as a highly regarded 19-year-old international signee, while Scarborough’s high placement reinforces the system’s depth.
