2026 MLB Power Rankings: One Player To Watch On Every Team Down The Stretch

Collects seventh win Gore (7-9) allowed three runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out five over 5.2 innings to earn the win over the Athletics on Saturday.

Impact Gore wasn't as sharp as he has been lately, but he did well enough to pick up his first win in five starts. The damage on his line came from a Henry Bolte three-run home run in the second inning. Gore has earned quality starts in three of his four games, allowing seven runs over 24 innings in that span. For the season, he has a 4.45 ERA, 1.26 WHIP and 154:51 K:BB through 139.2 innings over 26 starts. The strikeout upside is encouraging, and the Rangers will need Gore to stay sharp as they battle for a playoff spot. His next start is projected to be at home in a favorable matchup versus the Angels.

Fans nine Monday Gore allowed one run on four hits and two walks while striking out nine batters over 5.1 innings in a no-decision against the Angels on Monday.

Impact Gore was dominant in the outing, racking up 22 swinging strikes and nine punchouts. However, he needed 103 pitches to get through 5.1 frames, and the Rangers' offense didn't come to life until the 10th inning, so he had to settle for a no-decision. Regardless, Gore tied his second-highest strikeout total of the campaign and has now given up just one earned run over 11.1 frames across his past two starts. He's lined up to make his next start on the road against the Athletics.

Back from paternity leave The Rangers reinstated Gore from the paternity list Saturday.

Impact Gore has been away from the team since Wednesday while welcoming a new addition to his family, and he'll now return to the active roster with two days to spare before his next scheduled start Monday in Anaheim. Ben Peoples was optioned to Triple-A in a corresponding move.

Bound for paternity list The Rangers placed Gore on the paternity list Wednesday.

Impact Per MLB rules, Gore will be away from the Rangers for a minimum of one day and a maximum of three days while he welcomes a new addition to his family. The southpaw tossed six scoreless innings in a start during Tuesday's 5-4 win over the Giants and wasn't in line to pitch again until Sunday at the earliest, so the Rangers won't have to adjust their rotation to account for Gore's absence.

AUGUST 5 • ROTOWIRE

Tosses six scoreless frames Gore didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Giants. He tossed six scoreless innings, allowing three hits and three walks while striking out four.

Impact Gore was going through a rough patch before this outing, allowing at least three earned runs in three consecutive starts and in six of his last seven, but he bounced back admirably in this one, at least in terms of run prevention. Gore owns a 4.18 ERA in four starts since the All-Star break, but that figure is lower than his season-long 4.55 ERA, which is also a career-worst mark for the five-year veteran. Gore will look to build off this start when he takes the mound next week on the road against the Angels, one of the weakest lineups in the American League.

Pitches well in loss Gore (6-9) allowed three runs on three hits and no walks while striking out nine over seven innings to take the loss Wednesday versus the Rays.

Impact Gore did not allow a hit for 6.2 innings after giving up two home runs in the first inning, but the Rangers offense did not give him any run support to back up this great start. This is Gore's longest outing since June 25, where he also went seven, and the second game this season where he has gone six or more innings without giving up a walk. The 27-year-old's next outing is scheduled to come against the Giants at home.

Goes five innings in no-decision Gore didn't factor into the decision Friday, allowing three runs on seven hits and two walks across five innings. He struck out five.

Impact Gore avoided what would've been his third loss since the beginning of July, but the veteran has been trending in the right direction lately. This was the fourth time across five outings this month in which he gave up at least three earned runs, and he has failed to pitch more than five innings in all but one of those contests, too. Gore owns an inflated 7.66 ERA with a 1.50 WHIP across 24.2 innings in five starts in July. His next outing is scheduled to come against the Rays on the road.

Wild in sixth win Gore (6-6) earned the win Saturday against Atlanta, allowing five runs on six hits and one walk in 5.2 innings. He struck out seven.

Impact Gore hardly pitched well enough to deserve the victory, notably hitting three batters Saturday, but he received plenty of run support to get him off the hook. Although the 27-year-old southpaw has registered seven punchouts in three of his past four outings, he's given up at least five runs in each of those starts. Gore is putting together something of a bizarre campaign, holding a career-worst 4.80 ERA in spite of a career-best .236 opponent batting average as well as an exceptional 122:42 K:BB across 110.2 innings.

JULY 19 • ROTOWIRE

Decent in start on short rest Gore allowed one run on two hits and a walk while striking out four over four innings in a no-decision versus the Astros.

Impact Jacob deGrom was scratched due to a glute injury, and Gore stepped up to pitch on short rest. Gore threw 39 of 65 pitches for strikes and limited the damage to a Jose Altuve solo shot in the fourth inning. Gore had given up 12 runs over his previous 10 innings. The southpaw is now at a 4.63 ERA, 1.29 WHIP and 115:41 K:BB through 105 innings over 20 starts this season. Expect him to go back to normal rest after the All-Star break, though his effectiveness Sunday in a shorter outing could be something to keep an eye on.

Stepping up to start Sunday Gore will be the Rangers' starting pitcher against Houston on Sunday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Gore last pitched Wednesday against the Angels, so he'll be working on only three days of rest. Texas manager Skip Schumaker said Saturday that Gore approached him and offered to take the mound in what was otherwise looking like it might be a bullpen game for the team. Gore tossed 90 pitches in his previous start, so he may have his workload monitored Sunday in the Rangers' final contest before the All-Star break. Given that Texas will then have four days off, Gore's start Sunday won't necessarily impact his usual slotting in the rotation.
