Justin Foscue - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Optioned to Triple-A The Rangers optioned Foscue to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

Impact Foscue missed three weeks of action in spring training due to a strained right hamstring but progressed enough in his recovery to return to the lineup for Sunday's Cactus League game against the Dodgers, when he went 0-for-2 with one walk. He spent the vast majority of the 2025 season in Triple-A, where he slashed .261/.341/.474 with seven steals, 19 home runs and 68 RBI over 453 plate appearances. Foscue appeared in only four regular-season games for the Rangers last year, but he would be in line for a major-league call-up should Texas require more depth in the infield.

Back in spring lineup Foscue (hamstring) will serve as the Rangers' designated hitter and No. 7 batter in Sunday's Cactus League game against the Dodgers.

Impact Foscue will check back into the Rangers' spring lineup for the first time since Feb. 23, after a strained right hamstring had kept him out of action for just under three weeks. The 27-year-old will still need to prove that the hamstring injury doesn't present any problems for him defensively in order to win a utility gig on the Rangers' Opening Day roster, but he could still find himself on the outside looking in for a spot. Foscue has a minor-league option remaining, so the Rangers could send him to Triple-A Round Rock to begin the season in order for him to receive everyday at-bats.

Departs with tight hamstring Foscue was lifted from Monday's Cactus League game against the Angels due to right hamstring tightness, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Impact Foscue singled and scored a run in the top of the first inning in his lone plate appearance before being removed for defense prior to the bottom of the second. It's unclear whether he'll be sent for an MRI, but even if it's not serious, Foscue figures to be off limits for at least a day or two. He's competing for a reserve role with the Rangers.

FEBRUARY 23 • ROTOWIRE

Trying to increase versatility Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said Thursday that Foscue will be given some reps in the outfield during spring training, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Foscue has played only in the infield both in college at Mississippi State and since entering pro ball, but increasing his versatility gives him a better chance to make the team in a reserve role. The 26-year-old has struggled mightily during his brief time in the majors, going 3-for-51 with a 2:21 BB:K.

Make season debut Foscue started at first base and 0-for-3 in Monday's 6-0 loss to Baltimore.

Impact Foscue, who was called up from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday, made his season debut for the Rangers. His MLB debut came in April of 2024 but was cut short immediately by an oblique injury. A 14th-overall draft pick in 2021, Foscue came up as a second baseman but has since added first base to his profile and could see time there with Jake Burger (oblique) on the 10-day injured list.

Emiliano Teodo's time in Texas Rangers' camp is over, but he turned heads while there Teodo was reassigned to minor league camp Wednesday alongside right-hander Luis Curvelo and infielder Justin Foscue.

MARCH 12, 2025 • DALLASNEWS.COM

Sent to minor-league camp The Rangers optioned Foscue to minor-league camp on Wednesday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Foscue came into camp likely on the outside looking in for a roster spot and didn't do anything to change minds with a .631 OPS during Cactus League play. The 26-year-old went just 2-for-42 at the dish for the Rangers last season and will begin the 2025 campaign at Triple-A Round Rock.

Where do elder prospects Dustin Harris, Justin Foscue fit into Texas Rangers' equation? Both were once top-ranked prospects in the organization who now lack a clear path to the Rangers’ roster.

MARCH 3, 2025 • DALLASNEWS.COM

Sitting in third straight game Foscue is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Diamondbacks.

Impact Foscue had an opportunity to pick up regular at-bats after Corey Seager (hip) was placed on the injured list last week, but the Rangers have seemingly pulled the plug on the rookie. He'll hit the bench for the third game in a row while Ezequiel Duran has emerged as the preferred option for the lineup spot vacated by Seager.

SEPTEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not starting against righty Foscue is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Angels.

Impact Though he was deployed at designated hitter both of the past two days when the Angels sent left-handed starters to the hill, the right-handed-hitting Foscue will hit the bench for a fourth straight matchup with a right-hander (Caden Dana). Even with the recent move of Corey Seager (hip) to the injured list opening up a spot in Texas' everyday lineup versus righties, the Rangers seem inclined to rotate a number of players at DH rather than committing to Foscue in a full-time role.

SEPTEMBER 8, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Starts at first base Foscue started at first base and went 0-for-2 with a walk and a run scored in Sunday's 6-4 extra-inning win over Oakland.

Impact While the Rangers have not yet been eliminated from the postseason, the club faces a long haul -- 9.5 games back of the third wild card spot -- over the final month. That suggests opportunities for prospects like Foscue, who could get some run at first base ahead of Nathaniel Lowe, whose contract expires this offseason.

SEPTEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back with Rangers The Rangers recalled Foscue from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

Impact Foscue went just 1-for-17 with seven strikeouts during his most recent stint in the majors in late July. However, he's bounced back nicely since then, putting up a .964 OPS alongside six homers and 18 RBI across 117 plate appearances in Triple-A. He'll have a hard time competing for playing time behind Marcus Semien and Josh Smith, though he could possibly be used occasionally as a DH against left-handers.
