Danny Jansen - Pops homer in win Jansen went 1-for-4 with a solo home run in Friday's 5-4 win over the Tigers.

Impact The home run was the second of the season for Jansen, who has logged RBI in his last two starts. In between a hot start to the season and these last two contests, the catcher hasn't offered much offense, going 7-for-43 (.163) with zero RBI and two runs scored over 15 games.

Jacob Latz - Picks up third save Latz struck out one in a perfect ninth inning Friday to record his third save of the season in a 5-4 win over the Tigers.

Impact The lefty produced his seventh straight appearance without allowing a run as he works his way to the top of the pecking order in the Rangers bullpen. Latz has the team's last three saves dating back to April 25, and on the season he sports a 1.02 ERA, 0.45 WHIP and 15:3 K:BB through 17.2 innings. Latz doesn't have the premium stuff of a typical closer, but as long as he's getting the job done, manager Skip Schumaker will stick with him.

MacKenzie Gore - Early exit in no-decision Gore didn't factor into the decision in Friday's 5-4 win over the Tigers, giving up three runs on four hits and three walks over 3.2 innings. He struck out three.

Impact The southpaw actually no-hit Detroit through three scoreless innings, but Tigers hitters drove up Gore's pitch count -- 25 of his 55 strikes on the night came from foul balls -- and he ran out of gas in the fourth, getting lifted after 94 total pitches. It's another disappointing outing from the Rangers' big offseason pitching acquisition, who hasn't been able to complete more than five frames in any of his last five trips to the mound. Gore will take a 4.67 ERA, 1.36 WHIP and 45:18 K:BB through 34.2 innings into his next start, which lines up to come on the road next week in Yankee Stadium.

Brandon Nimmo - Exits early Friday Nimmo was removed from Friday's game against the Tigers with an apparent injury, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Nimmo had gone 2-for-2 with a walk and a pair of runs scored before being lifted for a pinch runner in the fourth inning. The 33-year-old outfielder also left Wednesday's game early due to hamstring tightness, though it's unknown whether his premature exit Friday is due to a similar issue.

Impact Martin landed on the 15-day injured list April 15 due to a right biceps injury. He appears to be ready to take the next step in his recovery program, though he'll likely need a few rehab outings in the minors before being cleared to return to the Rangers. In his eight outings prior to his injury, Martin allowed six runs (five earned) on 11 hits while striking out seven batters across 6.1 innings.

Josh Smith - Sitting again Friday Smith is out of the lineup for Friday's game versus the Tigers.

Impact It's the second straight game on the bench for the 28-year-old, both of which have come against a right-handed starter. Smith has a .193/.306/.217 slash line with just two extra-base hits through 98 plate appearances this season, and it appears those struggles have started to affect his playing time. Ezequiel Duran is again starting at second base Friday for Texas.

Brandon Nimmo - Good to go Friday Nimmo (hamstring) is starting in right field and batting leadoff Friday against the Tigers.

Impact Nimmo departed Wednesday's contest against the Yankees due to right hamstring tightness, but it was apparently a minor issue given that he's back in the starting nine after Thursday's team off day. The veteran outfielder has enjoyed a strong start to the season, finishing April with four homers, 12 RBI, 14 runs and a .290/.364/.460 slash line in 31 games.

Wyatt Langford - Setback in extended spring game Langford exited an extended spring training game after one at-bat Thursday with soreness in his injured right forearm, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Impact Langford was playing in his first game since going on the 10-day injured list last week with a flexor strain. The Rangers seem optimistic that it's a minor setback for Langford, but the club is still gathering more information. He had been tracking toward a return to the active roster Saturday, but that will not happen now.

Josh Jung - Logs two RBI in win Jung went 1-for-4 with two RBI in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Yankees.

Impact Jung's two-run single in the fifth inning was all the Rangers needed and extended a hit streak to nine games, during which he's 12-for-32 with six extra-base hits (two home runs) and nine RBI. It continued an impressive resurrection for the third baseman's bat. Since going 4-for-29 (.138) with one RBI over the first eight games, Jung has slashed .389/.458/.708 with 15 extra-base hits (four home runs), 16 RBI and 11 runs over the next 20 contests.

Smith is scuffling with a slash line of .193/.306/.217 through 98 plate appearances.

Jacob Latz - Logs two-inning save Latz earned the save in Wednesday's 3-0 win over the Yankees, allowing a hit while striking out one across two scoreless innings.

Impact Latz now has saves in back-to-back appearances, his first two of the season. The southpaw has been excellent of late, holding opponents scoreless in his last six outings (6.1 innings), allowing just two hits and no walks in that span. Latz's ERA sits at 1.08 on the year with a 0.48 WHIP and 14:3 K:BB across 16.2 innings as he's established himself as one of the Rangers' go-to late-inning arms.

Impact After giving up six runs on four homers against the A's his last time out, Eovaldi responded with a stellar effort against the Yankees on Wednesday, matching his season highs in innings pitched and strikeouts. It's been an inconsistent start to the year overall for Eovaldi, whose ERA sits at 4.76 with a 1.34 WHIP and 30:10 K:BB across seven starts (39.2 innings). The right-hander currently lines up for a rematch with the Yankees on the road his next time out.
