Martín Pérez Makes Rangers History Texas Rangers lefthander Martín Pérez has one of the longest streaks of five-inning starts in club history.

Martín Pérez - Works around trouble Sunday Perez (1-0) earned the win Sunday, allowing one run on eight hits and three walks over 5.2 innings in a 2-1 win over the Phillies. He struck out seven.
Impact Perez was far from perfect Sunday, but he was able to dial up timely double plays and get strikeouts when he needed to. The veteran left-hander was stellar for Texas in 2022, posting a 2.89 ERA and 1.26 WHIP with a 169:69 K:BB across 196.1 innings (32 starts), and he'll look to build off that in 2023.

José Leclerc - Bypassed for save opportunity Leclerc was not used in a save situation in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Phillies.
Impact After a couple of blowout wins, the Rangers were presented with the first save opportunity of the season Sunday, and it was Will Smith who closed the door on Philadelphia. Leclerc had plenty of rest after throwing 21 pitches in Thursday's season opener. Both pitchers are expected to pitch the ninth inning, but Leclerc was the first in line to close games coming out of camp. Texas manager Bruce Bochy may have opted for the lefty Smith because left-handed hitters were due up in the ninth or because he had yet to pitch this season.

Will Smith - Records save Sunday Smith retired all three batters faced to pick up the save in Sunday's 2-1 win over Philadelphia.
Impact Smith got the call for the first save situation presented to the Rangers. Jose Leclerc exited spring training as the presumptive closer, but he was bypassed in favor of Smith, who was a late addition to the roster this spring. Leclerc was well rested, having thrown 21 pitches Thursday.

Josh Jung - Swats first home run Jung went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Phillies.
Impact Jung launched his first homer of the season to lead off the second innings. His bat was quiet during the Rangers' first two games when the club scored 27 runs, but it was vital in Sunday's low-scoring affair. The third baseman, who and a single and two walks in the first two contests, has crossed the plate four times, which is tied for the team lead.

Nathan Eovaldi - Will make next scheduled start Eovaldi, who was hit on the right leg by a comebacker Saturday, said he had no residual effects Sunday and remains scheduled to start Friday, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News...
Impact Eovaldi wasn't at his best but didn't need to be, as Texas gave him plenty of support in a 16-3 win over Philadelphia.

Leody Taveras - Ramping up Taveras (oblique) has advanced swinging from the right side but is unlikely to be activated as soon as eligible, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports. He was placed on the...
Impact The switch-hitting Taveras said he no longer feels any soreness after taking swings from the right side of the plate and has progressed in the number he's taking daily. The next step for the outfielder is to face live pitching, which could happen at extended spring training. If Taveras is not ready for the series in Chicago, a possible return is Monday, April 10, at home against the Royals.
