The timing couldn’t have been more fitting. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/texas-rangers/rangers-news-jacob-degrom-gem-pirates-bruce-bochy-fanboying">The Texas Rangers ace took the mound and delivered</a> yet another quality start, powering Texas to a 10-2 victory over the Baltimore Orioles.</p><p>This win was much-needed for the Rangers, snapping a frustrating four-game stretch of extra-inning contests in which they lost three. It also marked the 14th consecutive outing where deGrom has gone at least five innings while allowing two or fewer runs—the longest such MLB pitching streak this season and in franchise history.</p><p>Despite a two-run homer surrendered to Gary Sanchez in the fourth inning, deGrom was locked in, finishing with six strikeouts over six innings. It was the first home run he’d given up since May 26th. The veteran right-hander now holds a 2.13 ERA on the season and has struck out 38 batters in his last 38 innings.</p><p>He continues to anchor the Rangers’ rotation with elite-level command and consistency, showing no signs of slowing down as the summer heats up.</p><p>The MLB took to their official X (formerly known as Twitter) account to <a href="https://x.com/MLB/status/1940242830838100176" rel="noopener">highlight</a> deGrom’s dominance and the Rangers’ win.</p><p>“Jacob deGrom pitches 6 strong innings as the @Rangers put up 10 runs.”</p><p>The Orioles loss came just days after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/texas-rangers/rangers-news-orioles-fans-applaud-jacob-degrom-near-no-hitter">facing deGrom at Camden Yards, where he blanked them</a> over seven innings. Tuesday’s game was another example of the right hander’s ability to stop skids, extend streaks, and dominate in nearly every situation. The Rangers fed off his command early, scoring in bunches to back their ace.</p><p>This was vintage, peak deGrom— the relentlessly consistent one. It was his sixth consecutive quality start, tying his longest such run since 2022.</p><p>With the club inching closer to .500 and hoping to remain in the AL playoff hunt, deGrom continues to be the driving force on the mound. If this stretch holds, he may very well surpass Felix Hernandez’s 17-game streak from 2014—the longest MLB pitching streak of the century.</p><p>The Rangers are currently fourth in the AL West, sitting at 42-44. They trail the division-leading Houston Astros by 9.5 games, are seven games behind the second-place Seattle Mariners (44-41), and just one game behind the third-place Los Angeles Angels (42-42).</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Things looked bleak for Texas after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/baltimore-orioles/orioles-news-gunnar-henderson-bat-flip-home-run-rangers">Gunnar Henderson’s two-run homer</a> gave Baltimore the lead in the 10th inning.

Not wanting to bring the winning run to the plate by issuing a walk, the Orioles reliever took a little off his fastball but left it right over the heart of the plate. And Garcia did not miss.</p><h2><b>Adolis Garcia ties the game with clutch, extra-inning home run</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Adolis-Garcia-2.jpg"><figcaption>Jerome Miron-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The All-Star right fielder demolished Akin’s middle-middle 92 mph four-seamer, blasting it 417 feet to left center and tying the score 6-6. And Garcia celebrated the moment.</p><p>Garcia had one of the more memorable reactions to a home run this season. He dropped his bat and flexed multiple times at home plate. Garcia didn’t even leave the batter’s box to begin his home run trot until after his mammoth blast had clanged off the facade of the second deck.</p><p>Despite pumping up the crowd with his game-tying dong, the Rangers were unable to capitalize on the momentum Garcia created and Akin got out of the inning with the score knotted at six apiece.</p><p>Then, in the top of the 11th inning, Baltimore silenced Rangers fans by adding four runs, capped by Henderson’s two-run double off Texas reliever Hoby Milner. The Orioles took a 10-6 advantage into the bottom of the 11th. That lead proved too much for the Rangers to overcome as Andrew Kittredge worked a 1-2-3 inning for Baltimore, ending a dramatic, unpredictable matchup.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/texas-rangers/rangers-news-adolis-garcia-gives-texas-win-walk-off-white-sox">Garcia almost played hero for the Rangers</a> for the second time this month. He went 2-5 with a home run, 3 RBI and a stolen base in a losing effort.</p><p>After a four-game winning streak earlier this month, the Rangers have gone just 5-8, falling to 41-44 on the season. Texas is now 9.5 games behind the first-place Houston Astros in the AL West.</p><p>However, the Rangers will send ace Jacob deGrom to the mound for Game 2 against the Orioles. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/texas-rangers/rangers-news-jacob-degrom-dominant-streak-continues-win-nationals">DeGrom has been dominant</a> in a bounce-back season, even taking a no-hitter into the eighth inning in his last start. He’s 8-2 with a 2.08 ERA, 0.881 WHIP, 181 ERA+ and 3.0 bWAR in 16 starts this year.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Veteran ace <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/texas-rangers/rangers-news-jacob-degrom-dominant-streak-continues-win-nationals">Jacob deGrom has returned to his dominant form</a>, leading the majors with 5 quality starts in June. But the Rangers have been without their best pitcher as Nathan Eovaldi has been sidelined by injury. That is, <a href="https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/baseball/news/rangers-nathan-eovaldi-set-to-return-friday/">until now</a>.</p><p>Eovaldi is set to return from the 15-day injured list and is scheduled to start Friday’s game against the Seattle Mariners, according to CBS Sports. He’ll face Seattle ace Logan Gilbert at Globe Life Field.</p><h2><b>Nathan Eovaldi to rejoin strong Rangers rotation</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Nathan-Eovaldi.jpg"><figcaption>Frank Bowen IV/The Enquirer / USA TODAY NETWORK via Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>The 14th-year veteran last pitched on May 27, when he was forced to exit the game after two innings due to right triceps inflammation. The Rangers believed <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/texas-rangers/rangers-news-nathan-eovaldi-avoids-il-rotation-update">Eovaldi could avoid the injured list</a> with extra rest. However, the team ultimately placed him on the 15-day IL and he would be sidelined for a month with the triceps ailment.</p><p>Eovaldi had put together a Cy Young-caliber season before suffering the injury. He posted a 1.56 ERA, 0.808 WHIP, 9.5 K/9 and a 239 ERA+ in 12 starts for the Rangers. Now the two-time All-Star hopes to pick up where he left off when he rejoins the rotation Friday.</p><p>The Rangers elected to bring Eovaldi back without sending the starter on a rehab assignment in the minors. The 35-year-old righty threw simulated innings at batting practice and proved ready for a return.</p><p>In his stead, deGrom took over as the team’s ace. Through five June starts, the two-time Cy Young-winner went 4-0 with a 1.41 ERA, an MLB-best 0.72 WHIP and 32 strikeouts in 32 innings. In his most recent outing against the Orioles, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/texas-rangers/rangers-news-orioles-fans-applaud-jacob-degrom-near-no-hitter">deGrom came close to a no-hitter</a>, taking the bid into the eighth inning.</p><p>The previous game featured converted reliever Jacob Latz in a spot start. And <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/texas-rangers/rangers-news-bruce-bochy-gushes-about-terrific-jacob-latz-after-no-hit-bid">Latz took a no-hit bid into the seventh inning</a>. The Rangers hope the addition of Eovaldi creates an elite rotation as the team prepares for a second-half surge.</p><p>Still, despite the strong pitching performances, Texas has been streaky in June. After starting the month off with a four-game losing streak, the team turned things around by winning seven of the next eight games. But Texas is just 4-5 over the last nine contests.</p><p>Eovaldi returns to a sub .500 team as the Rangers are 40-41. They’re now eight games behind the first-place Houston Astros in the NL West.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

There have been several unique trends that have <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/rangers-news-texas-pitcher-cody-bradford-injury">not helped the Rangers</a>, but one of the more perplexing ones involves their own ballpark, Globe Life Field.</p><p>In baseball, ballparks are typically referred to as either a hitter’s park, or a pitcher’s park. In past years, Globe Life Field was typically regarded as a more batter-friendly location. This season, though, the Rangers home field has been the most difficult place to score runs in the majors. Nobody knows why that’s the case, with Texas’ general manager Chris Young recently <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6455108/2025/06/27/texas-rangers-globe-life-hitters-marlins-pirates/" rel="noopener">weighing in on the puzzling trend</a>.</p><p>“Our people are perplexed,” Young said. “We’re looking at everything from the humidor to which doors and windows are open at what points of time during the game for entrance and egress. We don’t have answers right now. It’s a really hard thing for me to reconcile. Yes, the park is playing bigger. We’ve also found ways to win at home. Is that impacting us on the road? I can’t say.”</p><h2><b>Rangers trying to get on track amid confusing Globe Life Field trend</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/06/Jacob-deGroms-dejected-reaction-to-failed-no-hit-bid.jpg"><figcaption>Mitch Stringer-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>For whatever reason, teams are struggling to score at Globe Life Field, but to this point, it hasn’t exactly hurt the Rangers, as they’ve posted a strong 23-16 record when playing in front of their home crowd this season. The problem for them has been winning on the road, as they have just a 17-25 record, so it’s not as if this sudden change is having a negative impact on them.</p><p>Whatever the reason may be, Texas’ stadium becoming the most pitcher-friendly park in the game has confused folks across the league. The Rangers have bigger issues at hand, though, as they need to figure out how to start winning consistently if they want to make a playoff push in the second half of the season. Texas will kick off a new series against the Seattle Mariners on Friday night, with first pitch being scheduled for 8:05 p.m. ET.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The two-time Cy Young winner was dealing for Texas, as he pitched seven scoreless innings, taking a no-hit bid into the eighth frame, during a 7-0 victory over the Orioles.</p><p>Baltimore outfielder Colton Cowser ended deGrom’s dream for a no-hitter in the contest when he had a single off a fastball from the 37-year-old Texas ace in the eighth inning. DeGrom’s night ended following Cowser’s hit, as he was replaced on the hill by reliever Jacob Webb, who, along with Cole Winn, finished the job for the Rangers’ bullpen.</p><p>DeGrom did not hide his <a href="https://www.mlb.com/news/jacob-degrom-takes-no-hitter-into-eighth-in-win-over-orioles" rel="noopener">thoughts on losing a chance</a> to complete a no-hitter.</p><p>“I even stood over there and said to [Cowser], like, ‘Dang it, I wanted that,’” deGrom said after the game (h/t Paige Leckie of MLB.com). “But it’s — they’re Major League hitters, too. So I threw a fastball — I think it was a fastball, I asked when I came in. Think I kind of blacked out, but I was like, ‘What did I throw there?’ And it was a fastball, and he got to it.”</p><p>Cowser had given Jacob deGrom some trouble in the previous two matchups in the game, as he battled the four-time All-Star for five pitches before striking out in the second inning. DeGrom retired Cowser again, but not before the latter made contact for a groundout. A perfect game was also going for deGrom until Jackson Holliday drew a walk in the sixth inning.</p><p>DeGrom may have lost a no-hitter against Baltimore, but he managed to set a new franchise record. He now has 13 consecutive starts of tossing for at least five innings and allowing no more than two runs, the longest such streak ever in the history of the Rangers and Washington Senators.</p><p>So far in the 2025 MLB regular season, deGrom has an 8-2 record, a 2.08 ERA, and 0.88 WHIP through 16 starts.</p><p>Texas, meanwhile, improves to 40-41 after <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/texas-rangers/rangers-news-bruce-bochy-gushes-about-terrific-jacob-latz-after-no-hit-bid">winning the Orioles series with two victories</a>, and will look to get back to .500 when the Rangers start a three-game series this coming Friday against the visiting Seattle Mariners at Globe Life Field in Arlington.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

His brilliance on the mound is one big reason why the Rangers are still in the American League Wild Card race.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/texas-rangers/rangers-jacob-degrom-trade-idea-draws-mlb-network-reaction">deGrom’s name is in trade rumors as the deadline approaches</a>. The 12-year veteran is well on his way to his fifth All-Star appearance. If he can stay on the mound throughout the rest of the season, he could even push Detroit Tigers ace Tarik Skubal for the AL Cy Young Award.</p><p>Fans of one team rarely cheer for an opposing player. The fact that Orioles fans showed such respect to deGrom is a good example of how the rest of the league views him. Despite dealing with injuries throughout his career, deGrom commands respect and remains dominant.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

When he came back out of retirement the first time to manage the Rangers, he led them to a World Series title against the Arizona Diamondbacks in 2023. Two years later, the Rangers are 39-41 on the season, which places them 4th in the AL West Division, 7.5 games back of the Houston Astros.</p><p>On Tuesday, starting pitcher Jacob Latz had a no-hit bid in the 7th inning against the Baltimore Orioles but allowed a hit and two runs to end what was an incredible start. Bochy had nothing but <a href="https://x.com/victoryplustv/status/1937703391930490898" rel="noopener">great things to say about the performance</a>.</p><p>“What a job, huh?

It’s a tough one for him not to get the win, but he did all he could. Really really impressive outing.”</p><p>As mentioned in the interview, Latz was a spot starter, and there were no expectations of him having the outing he had. Bochy kept him in the game after the hit allowed, but after he walked the following batter then that was it. Since becoming a spot starter, Latz has pitched 11.2 innings, allowing just three runs and four hits. Maybe being a full-time starter could be in store for the southpaw, especially after this outing.</p><p>On the season, Latz has a 3.22 ERA, 1.18 WHIP, 34 strikeouts, and 16 walks in 36.1 innings.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/texas-rangers/rangers-news-tyler-mahle-risk-missing-start-soreness">Tyler Mahle remains on the IL,</a> so Latz could get another start next week. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/texas-rangers/rangers-news-jacob-degrom-gem-pirates-bruce-bochy-fanboying">Jacob deGrom continues his hot season</a> on Wednesday as the Rangers take on the Orioles for the rubber match.

Bruce Bochy’s team finds themselves  in the bottom half of the American League West. More than five games separate them from the Houston Astros at the top. With <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/texas-rangers/rangers-news-texas-pitcher-cody-bradford-injury">Corey Bradford out for the rest of the season, the Rangers’</a> path just got a little harder.</p><p>Bochy led Texas to a World Series championship in 2023. Adolis Garcia and Corey Seager lead the team at the plate. Even though Jacob deGrom did not finish the season, his presence helped the starting rotation dominate in the postseason. The veteran starter is finally putting together a healthy season, but the offense has been underwhelming since the season began.</p><p>Bochy and the Rangers face a tough choice just over a month away from the deadline. They do not have the young players necessary to move on from their veterans and still remain competitive. However, they do have players that are attractive assets to teams around the league. Making the right trades could set Texas up for years of future success.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/texas-rangers/rangers-news-bruce-bochy-all-time-ejection-leaderboard-white-sox">Bochy has been passionate throughout this season, getting himself ejected</a> from a game in the process. Unfortunately, his team cannot string together wins, regularly sitting a few games below .500.</p><p>There are former All-Stars up and down the Rangers’ roster. Seager, for one, is one of the best power hitters in the league despite a slow start. A change of scenery could be all he needs to return to his former glory and help a team win a World Series.</p><p>Here are three players that Texas should put on the trade block before the trade deadline.</p><h2>Starting Pitcher Jacob deGrom</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/Jacob-deGrom-on-May-15-2025.-2.jpg"><figcaption>Raymond Carlin III-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>This is the obvious one, and experts around the league have already <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/texas-rangers/rangers-jacob-degrom-trade-idea-draws-mlb-network-reaction">thrown Jacob deGrom’s name into rumors</a>. The 37-year-old is having a fantastic season and is in consideration for an AL All-Star spot, which would he first appearance since 2021. deGrom remains one of the most divisive names in the baseball world, but the story remains the same.</p><p>When he is healthy, deGrom is as dominant as anyone. Unfortunately, no pitcher is as familiar with the injured list as he is. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/texas-rangers/rangers-news-jacob-degrom-gem-pirates-bruce-bochy-fanboying">Bochy has marveled at his pitcher</a> so far this season, though. The Rangers starter has not spent any time on the IL so far this season, starting 15 games so far this season. That number is big for deGrom. 2025 is the first year since 2021 that he has made that many starts in a season.</p><p>If this is a fully healthy season for deGrom that sees him make more than 30 starts for the first time in six years, teams will be lined up to deal for him. Unfortunately for him and Texas, that is far from a guarantee. The Rangers have five weeks to sell other teams on deGrom’s start to the season and get them to buy high on his potential.</p><p>Some teams are one starter away from serious title contention. Depending on the market, deGrom could be the best player available.</p><h2>Shortstop Corey Seager</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/unnamed-2.jpg"><figcaption>Raymond Carlin III-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Corey Seager’s approach has changed this season. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/texas-rangers/how-rangers-corey-seager-is-doing-his-best-juan-soto-impression">Rangers shortstop is drawing more walks than ever</a>, but has the lowest batting average of his career so far this season. For a player who made a name for himself with his power, Seager’s cold stretch is concerning. Bochy and Texas’ hitting coaches have talked with him throughout the season, trying to figure out how to help him out of his slump.</p><p>It is more than just Seager, but the Rangers’ offense has had a hard time this season. Texas is in the bottom of Major League Baseball in batting average, runs scored, RBIs, and walks. Seager’s struggles are a good representation of how underwhelming the Rangers have been. Bochy’s starting rotation has held his team afloat, but there are no signs of a turnaround.</p><p>Seager’s name still carries weight around the league, though. The 31-year-old is having one of the better defensive seasons of his career despite a career-low WAR. Teams trading for the two-time World Series MVP will bank on the fact that he is an exceptional hitter in the postseason. Outside of that, there is little reason to trade for him.</p><p>If Bochy and the front office do go in that direction, it will be a tough day for the fanbase.</p><h2>Outfielder Adolis Garcia</h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/04/Rangers-outfielder-Adolis-Garcia-53-bats.jpg"><figcaption>Katie Stratman-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>“El Bombi” has been anything but so far this season. Adolis Garcia leads the Rangers in RBIs entering Tuesday’s game, but his nine home runs have him on pace for the lowest total since he became a full-time starter in 2021. His scorching play throughout the 2023 postseason still excuses him from a lot, but time is running out for the two-time All-Star.</p><p>Garcia would be a huge get for any team willing to bring him in and give him the cleanup role. His power is still undeniable, but the pressure might be too much in Texas. When he is on, though, he is as scary at the plate as Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/texas-rangers/rangers-news-adolis-garcia-gives-texas-win-walk-off-white-sox">Garcia’s walk-off home run earlier this year</a> is all that needs to be said.</p><p>Of any veteran that the Rangers could move on from this deadline, Garcia might be the easiest to sell high on. His average is not far off from his career average, and his power could come back at any time. Sending away one of the faces of their World Series team is a tough call to make, but it might be the price of doing business for Texas.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

At 38-41, Texas is trying to turn things around and make a postseason run. On Tuesday, however, the ball club received an injury blow. Left-handed pitcher Cody Bradford is <a href="https://x.com/JeffWilsonTXR/status/1937581448573440310" rel="noopener">expected to undergo</a> elbow surgery and will miss the remainder of the ’25 campaign as a result, Jeff Wilson of DLLS Sports reports.</p><p>“Bad news on the #Rangers injury front: Cody Bradford will undergo elbow surgery tomorrow. Team isn’t sure if he will have the brace procedure or full-blown Tommy John, but Bradford won’t pitch this season and probably much of 2026,” Wilson wrote on X, formerly Twitter.</p><p>The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/rangers-news-tyler-mahle-risk-missing-start-soreness">Rangers have dealt with injury trouble in 2025</a>, something that unfortunately followed the team from their forgettable 2024 season. Losing Bradford is unquestionably difficult news.</p><p>Bradford, a 27-year-old southpaw, made his big league debut in 2023. In 2024, though, Bradford established himself as a reliable pitcher in MLB. He turned in a quality 3.54 ERA across 14 outings (13 starts). It was a limited sample size, but Bradford displayed signs of potential.</p><p>He dealt with injuries in 2024 which played a role in the aforementioned limited sample size. In 2025 spring training, Bradford once again landed on the injured list due to an elbow sprain. As a result, he has not made a single appearance with the Rangers in the 2025 season.</p><p>Regardless of whether or not Bradford undergoes Tommy John surgery or a different procedure, Wilson reports that the left-handed hurler will “probably” miss a significant portion of 2026 in addition to the remainder of the ’25 campaign.</p><p>It’s a devastating update, but Texas will attempt to move forward nonetheless. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/mlb/rangers-news-jacob-degrom-gem-pirates-bruce-bochy-fanboying">Rangers have had some memorable moments</a> so far this year, but they will have work to do in order to compete for a playoff position.</p><p>Updates will continue to be provided on Cody Bradford’s injury status. As for the Rangers, they will play the Orioles in Baltimore on Tuesday night. First pitch is scheduled for 6:35 PM EST.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The veteran ace delivered his fourth straight quality start, leading Texas to a 6-2 win over the Pittsburgh Pirates.

This is what he can do when he’s healthy. … The consistency is remarkable. He’s so gifted at putting the ball where he wants. I’m a fan.
