Danny Jansen - Resting for day game Jansen is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

Impact Jansen will receive a breather for the day game after he caught all nine innings of Tuesday night's 10-0 win and went 1-for-5 with a double and a run. Kyle Higashioka will get the nod behind the dish in the series finale in Colorado.

Alejandro Osuna - Taking seat against southpaw Osuna is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

Impact The left-handed-hitting Osuna will hit the bench for the second time in the series while the Rockies send another southpaw starter (Kyle Freeland) to the bump. Sam Haggerty will receive the nod in left field, but Osuna will likely draw most of the starts at the position against right-handed pitching until the Rangers get Wyatt Langford (forearm) back from the injured list.

Evan Carter - Taking seat against southpaw Carter is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Rockies.

Impact Though he drew the start in center field during Tuesday's 10-0 win while left-hander Sammy Peralta opened the game for the Rockies, the left-handed-hitting Carter batted out of the No. 9 spot in the lineup. Carter will be left out of the starting nine for the series finale while the Rangers go up against a more traditional lefty starter in Kyle Freeland.

Wyatt Langford - Could begin swinging bat Langford will undergo another test on his forearm Wednesday and could begin swinging a bat by Friday, MLB.com reports.

Impact This continues a string of good news for Langford, who has been out since April 21 and suffered a setback in an extended spring game. Once he's got the bat in hand, Langford will begin a full ramp-up.

Rangers play the Rockies after Pederson's 4-hit game

The Texas Rangers take on the Colorado Rockies after Joc Pederson had four hits on Tuesday in a 10-0 win over the Rockies

4 DAYS AGO • Associated Press

Ezequiel Duran - Remains hot Tuesday with four RBI Duran went 3-for-5 with two doubles and four RBI against Colorado on Tuesday in a 10-0 win.

Impact Duran made another start at shortstop in place of the injured Corey Seager (back) before shifting over to third base late in the game. The utility man opened the scoring with a two-run double in the first inning and added another two-run double to cap the scoring in the eighth. Duran has gone 6-for-9 with six RBI over his past two games and is hitting .308 with two homers, six doubles, 11 runs, 13 RBI and a stolen base through 17 contests in May.

Joc Pederson - Racks up four hits in rout Pederson went 4-for-5 with a double, a run and an RBI in Tuesday's 10-0 victory versus Colorado.

Impact Pederson didn't start Tuesday, but he entered the game in the second inning as a pinch hitter for Andrew McCutchen. Pederson finished the contest and ended up with a season-high four hits -- one more than he had tallied over his previous 20 at-bats combined. The veteran DH is slashing .236/.356/.355 with three home runs, four doubles, 15 runs and 11 RBI through 135 plate appearances on the campaign.

Brandon Nimmo - Knocks in three runs in rout Nimmo went 3-for-4 with a home run, three total runs and three total RBI in a 10-0 win against the Rockies on Tuesday.

Impact Nimmo notched a run-scoring single in the second inning and drove in two more runs with a 425-foot homer in the fourth. The outfielder finished with three hits for the fourth time this season and knocked in three runs for the second time. Nimmo's big night may have broken him out of a slump that saw him go 1-for-20 at the plate over his previous five games coming into Tuesday.

Kumar Rocker - Superb in bulk relief Rocker (2-4) earned the win over Colorado on Tuesday, allowing three hits and issuing three walks while striking out seven batters over 7.2 scoreless relief innings.

Impact Rocker has struggled in first innings this season, so the Rangers elected to pitch him behind opener Tyler Alexander on Tuesday. That proved to be a fruitful decision, as Rocker ended up tossing his longest outing of the campaign while keeping the Rockies off the scoreboard. The right-hander racked up an impressive 19 whiffs en route to a season-high seven punchouts. Rocker was hit hard in his first two starts of May, but he's responded well, tossing 12.2 scoreless frames over his subsequent two outings. Given how well he pitched Tuesday, it wouldn't be surprising if the Rangers decide to pitch him behind an opener again the next time he takes the mound.

Gavin Collyer - Sent to Triple-A The Rangers optioned Collyer to Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

Impact The right-hander threw 35 pitches in three innings across Sunday's and Monday's contests, so he'll be the odd man out of the bullpen with Christ Martin (biceps) coming off the injured list. Collyer has been an effective relief option for Texas this year with a 2.84 ERA, 1.11 WHIP and 10:8 K:BB across 12.2 innings, so it should only be a matter of time before he's back in the big-league bullpen.

Chris Martin - Activated from injured list The Rangers activated Martin (biceps) from the 15-day injured list Tuesday.

Impact Martin did not look sharp on his rehab assignment, allowing five runs on eight hits (including two home runs ) over 2.2 innings covering three appearances. Nevertheless, he's been cleared to rejoin the Rangers' bullpen after missing more than a month with a right biceps injury.

MacKenzie Gore - Headed for imaging Tuesday Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said that Gore will most likely undergo an MRI on Tuesday after exiting Monday's 7-6 loss to the Rockies after one inning due to left lat tightness,...

Impact After the game, Gore described his early exit as precautionary, noting that he felt a cramp behind his shoulder blade that had been presenting some discomfort. Gore was charged with two runs on three hits and two walks during the 28-pitch inning, and both his fastball and sinker velocities were down just over a mile per hour from their season averages. The upcoming imaging should shed more light on the severity of Gore's injury, but the Rangers aren't yet ruling the southpaw out from making his next turn through the rotation, which would fall Sunday in Anaheim.

Tyler Alexander - Opening Tuesday's game Alexander will start Tuesday's game against the Rockies, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact The left-hander has plenty of big-league experience as a starter and will make his first start of 2026 on Tuesday. Alexander has been effective out of the bullpen this year with a 2.14 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 16:6 K:BB across 21 innings, but he shouldn't be expected to cover more than an inning or two in Colorado given that he's that he's pitched more than two frames in an appearance just once this season. Kumar Rocker is expected to follow as the bulk reliever.

Kumar Rocker - Pitching in bulk relief Tuesday Rocker will pitch in bulk relief Tuesday against the Rockies, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Impact An initial report indicated that Rocker was scratched, but he will simply follow an opener in Tyler Alexander rather than make a traditional start. Rocker has posted an 11.25 ERA in the first inning this season, so the Rangers will see if he fares better entering mid-game.

5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Kumar Rocker - Scratched from Tuesday's start Rocker has been scratched from Tuesday's scheduled start in Colorado, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Impact There's no word yet on the reasoning for Rocker being unable to take the ball, but the Rangers should have an update on his condition shortly. Tyler Alexander will slot in as Tuesday's starter in Rocker's place in what will be a bullpen game for the Rangers.

5 DAYS AGO • ROTOWIRE

Ezequiel Duran - Productive in loss Duran went 3-for-4 with two RBI and two runs scored in Monday's 7-6 loss to Colorado.

Impact Duran continued to be a regular contributor, getting on base and scoring in the second and sixth innings followed by a two-run single in the eighth. He's been a lineup regular for the last month, most recently filling in at shortstop for Corey Seager (back), who was placed on the 10-day injured list Monday. He's expected to cover shortstop until Seager's ready. Duran is slashing .286/.348/.454 with three home runs, 17 RBI, four steals and 20 runs scored over 133 plate appearances.

Justin Foscue - 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.
