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.

Joining big-league club The Rangers recalled Foscue from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

Impact Foscue will fill Jake Burger's (oblique) spot on the 26-man roster after Burger was placed on the 10-day injured list. Foscue will be making his 2025 MLB debut if he gets into a game. He slashed .269/.360/.487 with 10 home runs in 229 plate appearances with Round Rock while playing first and second base.

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 • 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 • 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.

Back in big leagues 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 carving out playing time behind Marcus Semien and Josh Smith, though he could be used occasionally as a designated hitter against left-handers.

AUGUST 31, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Heads back to minors The Rangers optioned Foscue to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

Impact Foscue had already been withheld from the lineup in each of the Rangers' last four matchups against right-handed pitching, and his outlook for playing time was only going to worsen with Josh Jung (wrist) returning from the 60-day injured list Monday. As a result, Texas will send the 25-year-old back to Triple-A to receive everyday at-bats. Foscue struggled to produce at the plate during his week-long stint with the big club, going 1-for-17 with a double and seven strikeouts over his five starts as Texas' designated hitter.

JULY 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sitting Saturday Foscue is not in the starting lineup for Saturday's game against Toronto.

Impact Foscue will get a breather Saturday after going 0-for-4 in Friday's 6-5 loss to Toronto. Jonah Heim will serve as the designated hitter Saturday and bat seventh against Blue Jays right-hander Kevin Gausman.

JULY 27, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Not in lineup again Thursday Foscue is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the White Sox.

Impact Foscue started at designated hitter in four straight games upon his promotion, but after going just 1-for-13 with seven strikeouts in those contests he'll now sit out for the second day in a row. Robbie Grossman will serve as the Rangers' DH on Thursday.

JULY 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Hitting bench Wednesday Foscue is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the White Sox.

Impact Travis Jankowski will get the nod at designated hitter Wednesday after Foscue went 1-for-13 with seven strikeouts while serving as Texas' DH in each of the past four contests. Even if Foscue shows improvement at the plate in his subsequent starting opportunities, it may not be enough to guarantee him an extended stay with the big club. Josh Jung (wrist) is restarting his rehab assignment Friday with Double-A Frisco, and Foscue will be the player most at risk of losing out on regular playing time once Jung is activated from the 60-day injured list.

JULY 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Makes second straight start Foscue started at designated hitter and went 0-for-3 in Sunday's 3-2 win over Baltimore.

Impact Foscue made a second straight start since being promoted from Triple-A Round Rock. Both starts have come against right-handers, which previously had been a set up for the left-handed batting Travis Jankowski. Foscue is 1-for-7 with a double and a run scored in the two games.
