Rangers Rally to 8-3 Win in Philly as Gore Impresses Despite Command Issues

The Texas Rangers defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 8-3 to take 2 of 3 in the series. MacKenzie Gore was dominant at times, striking out seven and showing electric stuff, but he walked three and hit Bohm with the bases loaded to end his day after six innings. Carter Baumler struggled with command, issuing multiple walks as the bullpen shuffled through. The Rangers’ offense supported Gore with Nimmo, Seager, McCutchen and Langford contributing key hits and runs, including a 5-0 lead built by an early barrage. The win sets up Monday’s game in Baltimore with Jack Leiter expected to provide innings for Texas.

Rangers Promote Rule 5 Pitcher Baumler to MLB Roster in Surprise Move

Rangers Promote Rule 5 Pitcher Baumler to MLB Roster in Surprise Move

The Texas Rangers will carry Rule 5 right-hander Carter Baumler on their Opening Day roster, with manager Skip Schumaker delivering the news via a mid-game mound visit that his client had made the team. Baumler, 24, has battled injuries (Tommy John and shoulder surgery) but impressed this spring, posting 9 1/3 shutout innings with strong strikeout and ground-ball rates. If he remains on the major-league roster all season, Texas gains five years of control plus three minor option years; if he’s sent to the minors at any point, he would clear waivers and the Orioles could reclaim him for a nominal sum. Baumler’s workload history and spring performance give him a real chance to stick in the Texas bullpen for now.

Rangers install Rocker as fifth starter, lock in McCutchen on roster

Texas Rangers name Kumar Rocker their fifth starter, moving Jacob Latz to the bullpen, and confirm Andrew McCutchen, Sam Haggerty, and Ezequiel Duran on the roster with Mark Canha likely not added unless injured. Evan Carter is the primary center fielder with Wyatt Langford backing him on days off; 25 of 26 spots are set, and the final bullpen spot will come from Carter Baumler, Josh Sborz, or Luis Curvelo, with Baumler’s Rule 5 status complicating the decision.

Rangers Install Controversial 'One Riot, One Ranger' Statue at Globe Life Field

The Texas Rangers unveiled a 12-foot bronze statue, 'One Riot, One Ranger,' at Globe Life Field in Arlington, reviving a figure that stood at Dallas Love Field for decades before its 2020 removal amid controversy sparked by a book detailing brutality and racism in the Ranger history; officials say the organization acknowledges difficult history while honoring the service of many Rangers, and the statue will greet fans at the left-field concourse.

Family Seeks Answers After ICE Shooting Kills 23-Year-Old Ruben Martinez in South Padre Island

Ruben Ray Martinez, 23, was shot and killed by a Homeland Security Investigation agent in South Padre Island in March 2025 after failing to exit his vehicle; ICE says the shooting was self-defense, but his family questions the account and is calling for a full investigation as the Texas Rangers review the case. No video footage has surfaced, and the incident sits in the broader context of recent federal immigration-enforcement killings that have sparked protests.

Rangers Bring In Gomber on Minor League Deal, Spring Training Invite

The Texas Rangers signed left-handed pitcher Austin Gomber to a minor league contract with an invitation to Spring Training, adding pitching depth after addressing rotation needs with the Gore acquisition. Gomber, a 32-year-old veteran who debuted with St. Louis in 2018 and spent time with Colorado and Chicago, has struggled in recent seasons, notably in 2025, but posted solid Triple-A numbers and could compete for a fifth spot in camp, potentially breaking into the MLB rotation if spring results or injuries create an opening.

Rangers Bet on MacKenzie Gore’s Upside to Anchor 2026 Rotation

Texas traded five minor leaguers to add left-hander MacKenzie Gore, hoping his front-line upside can be unlocked in a Texas rotation behind a healthy Eovaldi and deGrom. Gore, 26 turning 27, is under club control for 2026–27 at a modest $5.6M and has flashed TORP (top-of-rotation pitcher) ability in bursts, but has battled command issues and injuries that have limited him to 2-3 win seasons overall. If Texas can refine his pitch usage and location, this could be a cost-controlled TORP upgrade; if not, he remains a solid 2-3 win pitcher and valuable depth for a playoff contender.

Evaluators weigh Gore trade: high upside, mixed package for Nationals

The Washington Post surveyed MLB evaluators to gauge the return the Washington Nationals received for MacKenzie Gore after he was traded to the Texas Rangers. Gore’s ace ceiling remains the centerpiece of the deal, but the announced package—including Abimelec Ortiz, Gavin Fien, Alejandro Rosario, Yeremy Cabrera, and Devin Fitz-Gerald—is viewed as a high-upside, mixed-prospect haul that could help Washington’s rebuild, with opinions on its overall value varying among evaluators.

Nationals trade Gore as front office maps a long road to contention

The Washington Nationals traded MacKenzie Gore to the Texas Rangers as part of the new front office’s long-term plan, emphasizing asset assessment and timelines over payroll. Gore is two seasons from free agency, and the move signals the organization’s shift toward rebuilding under president of baseball operations Paul Toboni and focusing on the path to contention rather than a quick fix.

Rangers land MacKenzie Gore in five-prospect swap with Nationals

Washington is trading left-hander MacKenzie Gore to the Texas Rangers in a five-prospect deal for Gavin Fien, Alejandro Rosario, Devin Fitz-Gerald, Abimelec Ortiz and Yeremy Cabrera. Gore, 26, posted a strong 3.02 ERA with 138 strikeouts over 19 starts in the first half of 2025 but injuries hampered the second half; with two years of arbitration remaining, his affordable contract helped Texas pursue a controllable upgrade that should slot Gore into the Rangers’ middle rotation behind deGrom and Eovaldi, alongside Jack Leiter.
