The series will follow the Sunday opener with an April 1 off day before resuming April 2.

The series against the Astros will cap a trip through Texas for the Rangers. The club will play against the Mexico City Red Devils March 28 at Rangers Ballpark and then head to San Antonio for a two-game exhibition series against the San Diego Padres in the Alamodome.
