Padres expected to grab another high-ceiling prep arm with their first-round pick | Sporting News This has been a growing trend for SD lately.
Josh Jung - Targeting return Thursday Jung (groin) ran the bases Tuesday and is hoping to return to Cactus League play Thursday versus the Athletics, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Jung has been shelved since late February after being diagnosed with a Grade 1 adductor strain. When coming back from a leg injury, running the bases is typically the final hurdle one needs to clear, so Jung appears to be in a good spot to return to action and avoid a stint on the injured list. If healthy, Jung is expected to open the season as the Rangers' primary third baseman.

Mark Canha - Responds to competition Canha started in left field and went 1-for-3 with a run scored in Monday's spring game against the Padres.
Impact Canha, who hit safely for a fourth straight Cactus League games, seemingly has responded to the Rangers' recent signing of Andrew McCutchen. The two veterans are competing for a spot as a right-handed hitting complement to Joc Pederson at designated hitter and as a depth outfielder. Canha has more recent experience in the outfield, having started 133 games there over the past three seasons compared to McCutchen's 20.

Andrew McCutchen - Debuts for Texas McCutchen started at designated hitter and went 1-for-3 with a double and an RBI in Monday's spring game against San Diego.
Impact McCutchen stepped on the field for the first time since signing a minor-league deal with the Rangers last week. The 39-year-old has a little more than two weeks to show decision-makers that he can still make an impact. The early results were hopeful, as McCutchen's two batted-ball events left that bat at more than 100 mph. DH would appear to be his best shot at hooking on with the club as the right-handed complement to Joc Pederson.

Ty France - Realistic chance to crack roster France appears to have a path to make the Opening Day roster, AJ Cassavell of MLB.com reports.
Impact Sung-Mun Song's oblique injury has seemingly opened up an opportunity for France, who has been seeing the ball well so far this spring. The 31-year-old is 10-for-27 (.370) at the dish with five RBI and two runs scored following Monday's exhibition against the Rangers. France is in consideration for a utility role of sorts, as he logged time at second base earlier in his career and could provide a solid bat off the bench, which as Cassavell notes, could be of interest to skipper Craig Stammen. However, this will all depend on whether Song is forced to begin the 2026 regular season on the injured list.
