Why the Rangers Should Move On From This Pending Free Agent The Texas Rangers were expected to perform better in 2026 after extensive offseason moves\, most notably adding Mackenzie Gore to the starti...

OCTOBER 9 • SI.COM

Early hook in finale Gore did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Twins, allowing one run on one hit and one walk over 2.1 innings. He did not record a strikeout.

Impact Gore started a major-league-leading 34th game but did not last long, throwing 15 of 25 pitches for strikes and departing with one out in the third inning. It's unclear if the southpaw was injured Sunday, but he'll finish the campaign having completed five frames in only five of his final seven outings. He'll conclude his first season in Texas with a 4.58 ERA, 1.34 WHIP and 174:71 K:BB across a career-high 173 innings.

Rangers Trusting MacKenzie Gore with AL West Title in Balance on Sunday The Texas Rangers don’t control their own destiny. They can only try to win on Sunday and hope for the best.

SEPTEMBER 27 • SI.COM

Confirmed starter Sunday Gore is scheduled to start in Sunday's regular-season finale against the Twins.

Impact Gore will toe the rubber for Sunday's regular-season finale as the Rangers look to outlast the Astros for the AL West division crown to secure a spot in the playoffs. The 27-year-old southpaw made his last appearance Tuesday in a no-decision against the Mets, and Gore has a 4.59 ERA and 1.34 WHIP across a career-high 170.2 innings this season.

Allows one earned run Gore didn't factor into the decision Tuesday against the Mets after allowing two runs (one earned) on four hits and one walk while striking out two over five innings.

Impact Gore fell one out shy of a quality start, but this abbreviated outing was still a step in the right direction since he had given up at least three runs while pitching four or fewer innings in each of his previous three outings. Gore has an elevated 5.91 ERA since the start of September.

SEPTEMBER 23 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to start Tuesday Gore (shoulder/back) will start Tuesday's game against the Mets in Arlington.

Impact Gore was limited to four innings and 69 pitches during his previous outing Wednesday against the Red Sox while he dealt with spasms in his shoulder and upper back area, but he apparently checked out fine during his between-starts bullpen session and will return to the bump on five days' rest. The southpaw will tentatively line up for two starts during the final week of the season, though he could have his turn Sunday in Minnesota skipped if the Rangers' playoff positioning is secure.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Dealing with spasms Manager Skip Schumaker said after Wednesday's game that Gore is dealing with spasms in his back/shoulder, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Gore gave up three earned runs over four innings in just 69 pitches during his start Wednesday, and his spasms help to explain why his outing was cut short. It's unclear whether the left-hander will be able to make his next start -- tentatively scheduled for Tuesday against the Mets -- but the Rangers will likely have a better idea of his availability after monitoring him for a few days.

Ineffective in no-decision Gore took a no-decision Wednesday against Boston, allowing three runs on two hits and three walks in four innings. He failed to record a strikeout.

Impact The Red Sox were hardly fooled by Gore on Wednesday, as the hurler induced a mere two whiffs on the evening. The southpaw appears to be losing his effectiveness quite a bit down the stretch, fanning four or fewer in five consecutive starts while yielding at least three runs in three straight abbreviated outings. He'll look to right the ship when he carries a 4.67 ERA, 1.35 WHIP and 172:69 K:BB over 165.2 innings into his next scheduled appearance against the Mets.

Struggles again Friday Gore (8-11) allowed four runs on five hits and three walks while striking out two over four-plus innings to take the loss Friday versus the Diamondbacks.

Impact It's the third time in four starts Gore has given up at least four runs while failing to complete five frames. The southpaw has given up a total of 14 runs over 16 innings with an 11:14 K:BB in that span. His 4.62 ERA is a career worst, and he's added an uninspiring 1.35 WHIP and 172:66 K:BB through 161.2 innings over 31 starts this year. Gore's projected to make his next start at home versus the Red Sox, but his recent performances make him a pitcher to avoid to close out the year in fantasy.

Struggles against Rays Gore allowed five runs on six hits and three walks while striking out one over three-plus innings in a no-decision versus the Rays on Sunday.

Impact Neither of Gore or Ian Seymour were able to provide much length as starters. The Rays' four-run second inning did much of the damage on Gore's line. He's now allowed 13 runs over his last 23.2 innings across five starts, falling short of the five-inning mark twice in that span. For the season, Gore has a 4.51 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 170:63 K:BB across 157.2 innings through 30 starts. He is projected to make his next start at Arizona.

Earns eighth win of season Gore (8-10) earned the win Tuesday over the A's after allowing one run on five hits and four walks while striking out four over 5.1 innings.

Impact Gore wasn't especially sharp, issuing four walks for a second consecutive start and needing 95 pitches (57 strikes) through 5.1 innings to navigate his outing, but he limited the Athletics to a single run. That came in the third inning, when Lawrence Butler brought home Zack Gelof with a single to center. Gore departed when the Rangers had a comfortable lead, and the bullpen held on to give him his eighth win of the campaign. He's now allowed one or fewer runs in four of his last six appearances, and this outing lowered his ERA to 4.31. His next start should come over the weekend at home against the Rays.

Short outing Wednesday Gore (7-10) allowed four runs on eight hits and four walks while striking out four over 3.2 innings to take the loss versus the White Sox on Wednesday.

Impact Gore didn't give up any home runs, but the White Sox were able to piece together a pair of runs against him in the second and fourth innings for his worst start in August. He's limited the long ball well this month, allowing just two homers and eight total runs over 26.2 innings across his last five starts. Gore is at a 4.40 ERA, 1.28 WHIP and 165:56 K:BB through 149.1 innings over 28 starts this year. His next start is projected to come at home versus the Athletics.

Dominant in no-decision Gore did not factor into the decision in Friday's 2-1 extra-inning win over the Angels, allowing two hits and one walk while striking out seven over six scoreless innings.

Impact Gore had everything working, generating 21 swinging strikes on 100 pitches with four different offerings registering at least four whiffs. It continued a strong August for the 27-year-old, who owns a 1.57 ERA through four outings this month, including two scoreless quality starts. He'll carry a 4.26 ERA, 1.23 WHIP and 161:52 K:BB across 145.2 innings this season into a road matchup with the Brewers next weekend.

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.
