Justin Foscue - Goes deep again Foscue went 2-for-2 with a solo home run in Saturday's spring game against the Royals.
Impact Foscue homered for a second consecutive spring game. The second-base prospect improved his production at the plate in several areas during a full season at Double-A Frisco in 2022. When drafted in the first round of the 2020 draft, Foscue was considered the second baseman of the future, but the Rangers since signed Marcus Semien for that role. Last season's dalliance at third base (12 starts) indicates the organization is looking to find Foscue a home, but Josh Jung appears to have that position locked up. Foscue's bat could carry him to the big leagues, but his fielding is a concern. He had a miscue Saturday that was not an error because double-plays can't be assumed, but it did extend a multi-run inning for Kansas City. A fringy arm at second base will not improve at third, so perhaps a move to left field is in order. The Rangers are not settled at that position.

Nathan Eovaldi - Perfect in debut Eovaldi struck out four over two scoreless innings in Saturday's spring game against Kansas City. "I was able to throw all my pitches. The cutter was good, the split was good, the...
Impact Eovaldi faced the six-batter minimum in his debut in a Rangers uniform. The right-hander was in strong form, hitting 98 MPH repeatedly and topping out at 99. Eovaldi threw just 19 pitches and tossed another 10 in the bullpen following his time in the game, which lasted no more than 10 minutes thanks to the new pitch clock. He's expected to serve as the No. 2 starter behind Jacob deGrom.

Chase Lee - Bidding for bullpen spot Lee allowed one hit and struck out one over a scoreless seventh inning in Friday's spring game against the Royals.
Impact Lee is a side-arming righty, trying to hook on in a bullpen that has a couple of open spots. He spent time at Double-A Frisco and Triple-A Round Rock in 2022 and struck out 71 batters over 55.1 innings despite a fastball that lived in the upper-80s. "He reminds me a lot of a guy I had for years that had tremendous success - Sergio Romo," manager Bruce Bochy told Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News. "He's probably got better stuff to be honest. He's intriguing with that delivery." Lee had a 5.46 ERA in Triple-A but was effective against the more advanced hitters following a harsh five-game introduction following his promotion from Frisco.

Josh Smith - Will play many positions Texas manager Bruce Bochy said Smith will play all infield positions and left field during spring games, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports. "I think he's comfortable moving around,...
Impact Smith came through the system as a shortstop, but he's blocked by Corey Seager in the majors. That means he'll have to make the team in a utility capacity. He debuted in the majors in 2022, playing 36 games at third base, 24 in left field, six at shortstop, five as the designated hitter and two at second base. Smith posted a line of .197/.307/.249 over 73 games.

Glenn Otto - Gives up first-inning runs Otto allowed two runs on one hit and one walk while striking out five over two innings in Friday's spring game against Kansas City.
Impact Otto opened the game with a four-pitch walk to Bobby Witt, who later came around on Vinnie Pasquantino's home run three batters later. "It starts with throwing strikes," manager Bruce Bochy told Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. "That's the obvious. He's got great stuff. But he's got to pound the strike zone and throw quality strikes." The right-hander started 27 games for the Rangers in 2022, but he's not expected to return to the rotation after Texas added three veteran starters during the offseason. Otto could be a candidate for the bullpen, but a roster spot is not guaranteed.

Robbie Grossman - Goes deep in spring opener Grossman went 1-for-2 with a two-run home run during Friday's spring game against the Royals.
Impact Grossman took Kansas City starter Daniel Lynch deep on a ball up in the zone. With a lefty throwing for the Royals, the switch-hitting Grossman got the start in left field. He mashed southpaws in 2022 (.320/.436/.443) but was less productive against righties. As such, Grossman's in a position for a possible platoon in left field. Texas manager Bruce Bochy noted earlier this spring that he's open to a platoon in left, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.
