Justin Foscue - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Joins lineup again Foscue started at second base and went 3-for-3 with a run scored in Sunday's 64 win over Boston.

Impact After a period of limited activity, Foscue found himself in the starting lineup for a second consecutive game. Ezequiel Duran has been the primary second baseman, but he was needed at shortstop to cover for the injured Corey Seager (ribs/jaw), who has been sidelined for three straight games and is dealing with concussion symptoms. Both of Foscue's starts have come against lefties, and he is expected to be replaced by Nicky Lopez against right-handers.

Enters for injured teammate Foscue entered Friday's game in the fifth inning after Evan Carter (oblique) was removed and went 0-for-2 in a 10-1 loss to Boston.

Impact Foscue finished the game at second base while Nicky Lopez moved to the outfield. This was the first game action over the last four contests for Foscue, who has been limited to starting against left-handers only. With Josh Smith (glute/wrist/illness) six games and 26 plate appearances into a rehab assignment, Foscue's window in the majors may be closing soon. He's slashing .246/.306/.446 with three home runs, four doubles, nine RBI and eight runs scored over 72 plate appearances (26 games).

Contributes early in win Foscue started at second base and went 1-for-4 with a walk, a home run, two RBI and an additional run scored in Sunday's 10-0 win over Cleveland.

Impact Foscue got the rout started early with a two-run home run in the first inning. This was just his second start in the last eight games, both when the Rangers faced a left-hander. The semi-regular role he had second base went away when the Rangers added free agent Nicky Lopez. And now, with Corey Seager back from the injured list, Ezequiel Duran will be the primary starter at the keystone.

Relegated to bench again Foscue was not in the starting lineup for a third consecutive game Friday. He did enter to play first base in the final inning of Texas' 9-1 win.

Impact Foscue had been a regular presence at second base but has watched from the bench as the recently signed Nicky Lopez started the last three games, all against right-handers. Foscue has appeared in all three contests, either as a pinch hitter or a late-game substitution. The Rangers are scheduled to face Kansas City right-hander Seth Lugo on Saturday, which could mean a fourth straight game on the bench for Foscue.

Sits again in favor of Lopez Foscue is not in the lineup for Thursday's contest against the Astros.

Impact After making 11 straight starts at second base, Foscue has now sat in favor of Nicky Lopez two days in a row. Foscue is in a mini slump, having gone just 1-for-16 over his last five games, and Lopez offers the superior glove at the keystone.

Exiting starting lineup Foscue is absent from the lineup for Wednesday's contest against the Astros.

Impact Foscue had made 11 consecutive starts at second base, but he will begin Wednesday's festivities on the bench. Newcomer Nicky Lopez will draw the start at the keystone for the Rangers.

Impact Foscue singled and scored in the fourth inning and then knocked in a run an inning late. He ran a hit streak to four games, during which he's 9-for-15 with a home run, five RBI and four runs scored.

Perfect at plate, three RBI in win Foscue went 3-for-3 with a home run, two doubles, a walk and three total RBI in a loss to the Rockies on Monday.

Impact Foscue did his best to keep the Rangers in the contest, registering an RBI double in each of the second and sixth innings around a solo homer in the fifth. The 27-year-old came into the game having gone just 4-for-22 on the campaign, but his 3-for-3 performance lifted his season batting average from .182 to .280. Foscue has started four straight games for Texas and could continue to see consistent playing time moving forward while Josh Smith (lower body/wrist/illness) and Corey Seager (back) remain on the IL.

Impact Foscue, who is benefitting from an injury to Josh Smith (thigh/wrist/illness), made a third consecutive start at second base. Ezequiel Duran had been filling in for Smith, but he's now needed to cover shortstop for the injured Corey Seager. Foscue has gone 2-for-11 in his three starts and is batting .182 over nine games since being recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on May 5.

Foscue started for the first time in four games, as Ezequiel Duran covered shortstop for a slumping Corey Seager (0-for-27). Since being recalled from Triple-A Round Rock, Foscue is 3-for-14 with one home run and two RBI over seven games.

Homers in win Foscue started at first base and went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Cubs.

Impact Foscue made a second consecutive start and swatted the first home run of his short MLB career. The infielder has just five hits over 58 at-bats across three short stints in the big leagues. He can also play second base -- where he started Friday -- which should be considered an unsettled spot given the struggles Josh Smith (lower body, IL) is having to start 2026. Either Foscue or Ezequiel Duran, who started at the keystone Saturday, could take hold of the position.
