Jacob deGrom - Tagged for eight runs DeGrom (11-11) took the loss Friday against the Twins after allowing eight runs on eight hits and three walks while striking out five over four innings.
Impact DeGrom matched a season high in runs allowed at the worst possible time, as the Rangers are in a tight race to win the AL West. The subpar outing overshadowed the fact that the star hurler also recorded his 200th strikeout of the season Friday, reaching the milestone for the first time since 2019. DeGrom made 31 starts this season and pitched at least 160 innings in back-to-back years for the first time since 2018 and 2019. He finishes the regular season with a 4.20 ERA and 1.14 WHIP across 162.2 frames. If the Rangers make the playoffs, expect DeGrom to take the ball in the AL Wild Card round.

Rangers lose Josh Jung to fractured bone in right hand

Texas Rangers designated hitter Josh Jung was diagnosed with a fractured bone in his right hand on Friday after he was hit by a pitch in the first inning of the Rangers’ 10-2 loss...
SEPTEMBER 26 • Associated Press
Nathan Eovaldi - Starting Saturday Eovaldi will start Saturday's game against the Twins.
Impact Eovaldi will be making his first start since Aug. 7 during the Rangers' penultimate regular-season game as they continue to compete for a division title. The 36-year-old has made four appearances as a reliever since returning from an elbow injury Sept. 12, during which he's coughed up five earned runs in 8.2 innings while striking out four batters and walking one. He never threw more than 46 pitches in any of those outings, so although he'll be capable of handling multiple innings Saturday, he may struggle to pitch deep enough into the game to record a win.

Josh Jung - Suffers hand fracture X-rays revealed a fracture in Jung's right hand after his removal from Friday's game against the Twins, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Jung took a 94.6-mph fastball off his hand during his first-inning at-bat before being removed from the game an inning later. His diagnosis will almost certainly rule him out for Texas' final two regular-season contests and a potential postseason run, putting an early end to his season. Although he'll end the year on a sour note, the 28-year-old enjoyed a largely successful 2026 campaign in which he slashed .299/.365/.462 with 12 homers, 42 RBI and 53 runs scored across 444 plate appearances.

Rangers falter in AL West chase, lose to Twins 10-2 as deGrom matches high by allowing 8 earned runs

Jacob deGrom matched a career high by allowing eight earned runs and the Texas Rangers stumbled again in the AL West race with a 10-2 loss to the Minnesota Twins

Josh Jung - Exits after HBP Jung was removed from Friday's game against the Twins after getting hit on the hand by a pitch, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Jung stayed in the game after taking a 94.6-mph fastball off his wrist in the first inning but was later removed in the second frame. The severity of his injury remains unknown, but the Rangers will likely send him in for imaging and provide an update once they know more. Cody Freeman would be next up to start at third base if Jung misses a game.

Joc Pederson - Preparing to play in wild-card round Pederson (hand) took some swings in the batting cages Friday and is scheduled to face teammate Jack Leiter (ankle/biceps) in live batting practice this weekend, Shawn McFarland of...
Impact A small fracture in Pederson's left hand ended the 34-year-old's regular season, but it sounds like he's expecting to play Tuesday -- that is, if the Rangers are able to punch their ticket to the playoffs. Pederson put together a resurgent campaign with an .816 OPS and 26 homers after posting a .613 OPS with nine homers in 2025.
SEPTEMBER 25 • ROTOWIRE
Brandon Nimmo - Returning to leadoff spot Nimmo will start in right field and bat leadoff Friday against the Twins.
Impact Nimmo will be making his first start atop the order since May 11 after primarily batting fourth or fifth in recent months, as manager Skip Schumaker tries to jumpstart the offense and beat out the Astros for the AL West crown. The 33-year-old Nimmo hit .276/.358/.414 out of the leadoff spot earlier this season before shifting down the lineup.
