Ezequiel Duran - Hits first homer of season Duran went 2-for-2 with a two-run homer and two runs scored in Saturday's 18-3 victory over the Athletics.

Impact Duran's first long ball of the year came in the eighth inning, when the game was already out of reach. The second-year player now has six career homers after being called up in June. The former top 100 prospect is also on a four-game hit streak, so he seems to be coming into his own at the big-league level.

Adolis García - Smacks three homers in victory Garcia went 5-for-5 with two doubles, three homers, eight RBI and five runs scored in Saturday's 18-3 win over the Athletics.

Impact Garcia now leads the league with 28 RBI after this career game. The outfielder's three homers all came within the first five innings, putting the game out of reach early. The 30-year-old is also tied for fifth in MLB with seven homers, and is in the midst of a four-game hit streak.

Andrew Heaney - Earns second win of season Heaney (2-1) earned the win Saturday, allowing two runs on five hits and two walks over six innings against the Athletics. He struck out four.

Impact Heaney has allowed just two earned runs over his last 16 innings pitched, after giving up 7 across 2.2 innings on April 4th against Baltimore. The southpaw has been nearly unstoppable since that game, as he also tied the AL record with nine straight strikeouts against Kansas City on April 10th. The 31-year-old is tentatively slated to face the Yankees at home in his next start.

Jacob deGrom - Confirmed for start Sunday DeGrom (wrist) will start Sunday for the Rangers after reporting no issues during his side session Friday, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

Impact DeGrom was able to throw without issues Friday and will end up not missing a single start after leaving Monday's start against the Royals on Monday with wrist soreness. The right-hander may be on a close watch, but everything suggests the 34-year-old will be ready to roll against one of the worst lineups in baseball in the Athletics.

Robbie Grossman - Day off Saturday Grossman will sit Saturday against the Athletics.

Impact Grossman finds himself on the bench for the second time in three games. His .551 OPS on the season is poor, but he's gone 5-for-14 over his last four games. Travis Jankowski will be the left fielder Saturday, with Brad Miller serving as the designated hitter.

Robbie Grossman - Raps two hits in loss Grossman went 2-for-4 with a run scored in Friday's 5-4 loss to Oakland.

Impact Grossman was moved up to second in the order, the highest spot occupied thus far in 2023, and hit safely for a fourth straight game. Slated to be the primary left fielder coming out of camp, Grossman endured an 0-for-22 stretch that knocked him from a near-everyday role. He's among a group of players that includes Brad Miller, Travis Jankowski and Bubba Thompson sharing left field and DH.

Jonah Heim - Homers again Heim went 1-for-3 with a three-run home run in Friday's 5-4 loss to the Athletics.

Impact Heim was part of a four-run outburst in the first inning, but starter Jon Gray gave it all back, and Texas dropped the first game of the series. It was the second straight at-bat with a three-run home run for Heim, who finished off Thursday's win over the Royals with a ninth-inning homer. He has four homers and 14 RBI through 14 games. With news that Mitch Garver (knee) will need at least another month, Heim will continue on as the primary catcher. He thrived last season in the role until slumping after July when he reached a career high in plate appearances.

Mitch Garver - Timeline extended Texas general manager Chris Young said Friday that Garver (knee) will be out at least another month, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact There has been mixed and unclear messaging since Garver landed on the injured list after tweaking his left knee during a game April 8. At that time, it was believed to be a minor injury, but then an MRI exam revealed a more significant sprain. Earlier this week, manager Bruce Bochy said Garver would need about four weeks to recover. The Rangers' official site provided an update Friday, attributed to Bochy, that Garver will be out for five to six weeks. And it's unclear if that's five to six weeks from the time of the injury or from the most recent update. It's looking like mid-May return at the earliest for Garver. In the meantime, Jonah Heim and Sandy Leon will hold down catching duties.

Jacob deGrom - Throws session Friday DeGrom (wrist) threw a bullpen session Friday, but the Rangers did not confirm him for Sunday's start, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Texas manager Bruce Bochy said prior to Friday's game that he'd have a better idea about deGrom's availability Saturday. DeGrom was removed from a start earlier this week after four innings with right wrist soreness.
