TEXAS RANGERS NEWS

Kumar Rocker - Next start coming Thursday Rocker is scheduled to make his next start Thursday against the Blue Jays in Arlington.

Impact Rocker was called up from Triple-A Round Rock last week and ended up taking the rotation spot of fellow rookie and former Vanderbilt teammate Jack Leiter, who was moved to the bullpen. After submitting stellar numbers in the minors upon completing his recovery from May 2023 Tommy John surgery, Rocker continued to shine in his MLB debut this past Thursday, striking out seven and inducing 17 swinging strikes while allowing one earned run on three hits and two walks over four innings. Rocker was lifted after 74 pitches, and though the Rangers will likely be conservative with his workload over what projects to be two more starts this season, he should be a strong source of strikeouts down the stretch.

Gerson Garabito - Back up with big club The Rangers recalled Garabito from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.

Impact Garabito was optioned to Triple-A on Saturday, but he'll be eligible to rejoin the Rangers one day later after Jose Urena (shoulder) was placed on the 15-day injured list in a corresponding move. The 29-year-old right-hander will join righty Jack Leiter as a multi-inning option out of the Texas bullpen.

José Ureña - Hits IL with shoulder issue The Rangers placed Urena on the 15-day injured list Sunday with right shoulder fatigue.

Impact Urena will be eligible for activation Sept. 29, but since the Rangers will wrap up their regular season that day, he'll most likely be shelved for the remainder of 2024. The right-hander served as an occasional rotation fill-in and long-relief option this season, making 33 appearances (nine starts) and providing a 3.80 ERA, 1.32 WHIP and 70:39 K:BB across 109 innings. Urena is scheduled to become a free agent this winter.

Josh Jung - Not in Sunday's lineup Jung is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Jung started the first 13 games of September and will receive Sunday off after he started the month with three homers and an .881 OPS. Ezequiel Duran will shift to the hot corner while Carson Kelly receives a start at designated hitter.

Adolis García - Out of Sunday's lineup Garcia is not in the lineup for Sunday's game against the Mariners.

Impact Garcia is mired in a 3-for-29 slump over his past eight games and will sit Sunday, ending a run of 39 consecutive starts. Travis Jankowski will receive a start in right field and bat ninth in the series finale in Seattle.

Wyatt Langford - Extends hitting streak in loss Langford went 1-for-3 with a double, a walk and a stolen base in Saturday's loss to the Mariners.

Impact Langford doubled in his first trip to the plate before drawing a walk and stealing second in the top of the fifth. The theft was his 15th on the campaign and his third this month, where he's now batting .333 (17-for-51) with three homers, 10 RBI and 12 runs scored. Langford has also hit safely in each of his last five games, posting three extra-base knocks over that stretch.

Max Scherzer - Gets through four innings in return Scherzer did not factor into the decision in a loss to the Mariners on Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over four innings while striking out two.

Impact Scherzer struck out two of the first three batters he faced and got through the opening frame unscathed before allowing three-consecutive men to reach in the second, leading to one run coming across for Seattle. The veteran right-hander would then cough up a leadoff homer to Julio Rodriguez to open the third and was relieved by Jack Leiter after completing four innings. Scherzer's two strikeouts on the night marked his second-lowest total of the season in that category, though the Rangers have to feel good about him walking away from the mound without any setbacks in his first start since returning from the 15-day injured list.

Leody Taveras - Records first September RBI Taveras went 2-for-3 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-4 loss to Seattle.

Impact Taveras responded to the Mariners scoring in the second inning with his 10th homer of the season a half inning later to give Texas a lead. The RBI were the first during the month of September for Taveras, who entered the game batting .143 (3-for-21) over the nine previous contests. His elite defense keeps him employed, but it was easier to put him in a lineup every day when Taveras hit like he did in 2023 (.733 OPS).

SEPTEMBER 15 • ROTOWIRE

Marcus Semien - Homers again Semien went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Saturday's 5-4 loss to the Mariners.

Impact Semien's home run gave the Rangers a brief lead in the fifth inning. It was his 22nd of the season and fourth in the last six games. While Semien has been fantasy friendly in terms of home runs and runs scored (93), it's been a down season overall for the second baseman. Throwing out the screwy pandemic-shortened 2020 season, the 33-year-old Semien's .704 OPS this season is the lowest its been since 2014.

Gerson Garabito - Sent to Triple-A The Rangers optioned Garabito to Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

Impact With Max Scherzer (shoulder) returning from the injured list to start Saturday's contest against the Mariners, Garabito will end up as the odd man out of a roster spot. The 29-year-old righty owns a 3.86 ERA and a 1.14 WHIP through 21 innings in the bigs this season, and he still has a chance to pitch for the Rangers down the stretch if Texas needs a fresh bullpen arm.
