Pirates right-handed pitcher Paul Skenes, the No. 1 pitching prospect in baseball, will make his Major League debut Saturday, and you can watch his start -- and nearly everything else on the diamond this weekend -- for free!

OAKLAND -- There’s a lot that goes into a Major League debut. It can be overwhelming, all the attention and the texts and calls from family and friends on top of having to play on the biggest stage. The bright lights in The Show are as big of a deal

OAKLAND -- The Rangers as a team are hitting just .231/.288/.343 (.631 OPS) against left-handed pitching, entering Wednesday. It’s been a clear flaw in a team that reached a season-high five games over .500 after a win over the A’s on Tuesday. So general manager Chris Young addressed it quickly

OAKLAND -- The Rangers may have the best rotation in baseball on the injured list as we speak. Texas right-hander Dane Dunning landed on the injured list on Wednesday with a right rotator cuff strain, joining fellow starters Nathan Eovaldi, Max Scherzer, Jacob deGrom, Cody Bradford and Tyler Mahle on

Big league closers can come from all areas of the pitching world. Some are guys who have always been relievers, from college all the way up to the big leagues. Some were starters whose power stuff (and perhaps lack of command) were better suited for shorter stints coming out of

OAKLAND -- From the very pitch on Tuesday afternoon, the Rangers had the upper hand. Marcus Semien drove a first-pitch fastball from Ross Stripling 401 feet over the left-center-field wall for a leadoff homer, his third of the season and the 27th of his career, kicking off an offensive outburst

The Rookie-level Arizona Complex and Florida Complex leagues began play last Saturday, a month earlier than they did a year ago. The changes mean that the circuits will be populated more by players making the jump from the Rookie-level Dominican Summer League the season before and less by guys coming

OAKLAND -- Corey Seager, a man of few words, was frank at the end of the Rangers’ most recent homestand when asked about his early season struggles: “I just think I’m not getting enough hits.” Simple, but effective. Rangers manager Bruce Bochy has allowed Seager to work through those struggles

KANSAS CITY – The Rangers’ injury bug has made its way to Texas’ No. 1 prospect. Wyatt Langford, who exited Saturday’s win in the fifth inning after pulling up short of first base, was diagnosed with a Grade 1 right hamstring strain following Sunday’s 3-2 win over the Royals and

KANSAS CITY -- After allowing his second run of the game in the third inning, Jon Gray made manager Bruce Bochy a promise: “That’s it. They’re not scoring anymore.” It was the second straight start Gray entered the dugout unhappy after the early innings, and it was the second straight

KANSAS CITY -- The Rangers waited all April for the bats of 2023 to return to form, but on the night the offense erupted to life, Texas’ injury-plagued season struck again. The Rangers set season highs in runs and hits (17) en route to a 15-4 victory over the Royals

KANSAS CITY -- Michael Lorenzen had an awful warmup. The 32-year-old righty was missing his spots, his body didn’t feel as good as it did in his previous starts and his fastball wasn’t getting the vertical drop he wanted. So what did Lorenzen do ahead of the Rangers’ 7-1 loss

KANSAS CITY -- For the fifth time this season, the Rangers’ rotation took a big hit. Texas ace Nathan Eovaldi was placed on the 15-day injured list ahead of Friday’s opener against the Royals at Kauffman Stadium with a right groin strain he sustained during Thursday’s 6-0 win over the

ARLINGTON -- The Rangers’ starting pitching depth has already been tested throughout the young 2024 season, and they might have just been handed another challenge on Thursday. Texas ace Nathan Eovaldi was cruising in the Rangers' 6-0 win over the Nationals in the series finale at Globe Life Field, having

You know it’s really Draft season when the first mock draft is out. Between now and July 14, when the 2024 Draft begins, Jim Callis and I will be providing prognostications of the first round on a fairly regular basis with the hope that our final mocks the night before

ARLINGTON -- If you ask Bruce Bochy, Andrew Heaney’s turnaround started in Atlanta, where the left-hander allowed three runs in five innings in the Rangers’ loss to the Braves to open that series. That night wasn’t perfect, and neither was his next start against the Mariners at home, when he

This story was excerpted from Kennedi Landry's Rangers Beat newsletter. To read the full newsletter, click here. And subscribe to get it regularly in your inbox. ARLINGTON -- The reigning World Series champion Texas Rangers wrapped up April just above .500, with a 16-14 record. It wasn’t a perfect month

Pitchers are meant to be ahead of hitters. Sluggers need at-bats to get into the rhythm of the season, and that takes time. Or at least that’s how the popular belief goes. But some Minor League hitters are proving they don’t need time at all to come flying out of

ARLINGTON -- Jon Gray was adamant that there was “I don't know, just too much foolin' around” on his end during his last start on April 24 against the Mariners. That day, he allowed one run in 4 2/3 innings as his pitch count ran up and he was unable

Whenever a Draft list is updated for the first time since December, there are bound to be a lot of changes up and down the rankings. This year's new Draft Top 150 takes that to an extreme, speaking to the volatility and uncertainty of the class outside of the top
