Texas Rangers news, rumors and injuriesRangers | Derek Holland to pitch Monday Wed, 30 Jul 2014 21:35:10 -0700 Texas Rangers SP Derek Holland (knee) worked two scoreless innings with no hits allowed in his first minor-league rehab appearance for Double-A Frisco Wednesday, July 30.

Comment () | Share: Rangers | Alex Rios leaves game early Wed, 30 Jul 2014 19:07:18 -0700 Texas Rangers OF Alex Rios (quadriceps) was hit on the left quadriceps by a pitch Wednesday, July 30, against the New York Yankees and forced to leave the game early. Fantasy Tip: Rios has been mentioned in a multitude of trade rumors with the team well out of contention, but this was an injury and not trade related. Comment () | Share: Rangers | Receiving hits on Alex Rios Wed, 30 Jul 2014 11:42:49 -0700 Texas Rangers OF Alex Rios is receiving trade interest from other teams as the deadline approaches. Comment () | Share: Rangers | Jake Smolinski has foot fracture Wed, 30 Jul 2014 11:13:50 -0700 Texas Rangers OF Jake Smolinski (foot) has been diagnosed with a small fracture in his foot, but he is expected to return soon. Comment () | Share: Rangers | J.P. Arencibia has giant stat line Tue, 29 Jul 2014 22:39:35 -0700 Texas Rangers C J.P. Arencibia drove in a career-high seven runs Tuesday, July 29, against the New York Yankees. He had two doubles, two homers (including a grand slam) and two runs scored. Fantasy Tip: Arencibia is making up for lost time. He is now up to six homers and 22 RBI, with five homers and 16 RBI coming just since July 18 when he was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock. He has re-emerged as a useful No. 2 fantasy catcher in most formats due to his power potential, but his average still leaves a lot to be desired. Comment () | Share: Rangers | Yu Darvish accomplishes franchise first Tue, 29 Jul 2014 18:08:12 -0700 Texas Rangers SP Yu Darvish picked up his 10th win of the season Monday, July 28, against the New York Yankees. He is the first Rangers pitcher to win at least 10 games in each of his first three seasons in the majors. Fantasy Tip: Darvish will make his next scheduled start Sunday afternoon in Cleveland. He is 5-0 with a 1.24 ERA in five day starts this season, striking out 43 batters over just 36 1/3 innings while the opponent is hitting just .212 against him during daylight hours. Daily fantasy owners need to remember that and take advantage. Comment () | Share: Rangers | Rotation shuffled this weekend Tue, 29 Jul 2014 18:07:34 -0700 Updating a previous report, Texas Rangers SP Nick Tepesch (knee) will not work in the weekend series against the Cleveland Indians, so manager Ron Washington has shuffled his rotation. SP Jerome Williams will work Friday, Aug. 1, SP Miles Mikolas will go Saturday, Aug. 2, and SP Yu Darvish will work Sunday, Aug. 3. The team still does not feel Tepesch's injury warrants a stint on the 15-day disabled list. Fantasy Tip: Despite the fact Tepesch does not sound destined for the DL, fantasy owners will want to steer clear of him until he is able to return and make a full start without any setbacks or restrictions. Comment () | Share: Rangers | Leonys Martin showing improvement Tue, 29 Jul 2014 18:07:09 -0700 Texas Rangers OF Leonys Martin has been showing improvement lately, but manager Ron Washington said more is needed. Washington said Martin is back in the habit of trying to pull everything rather than using the entire field. "He's got to use the whole field, he can't just use one part of the field," Washington said Tuesday, July 29. "If you look at the numbers, most of his hits are two steps to the shortstop side of second base around to (first base). He's got to do something different. You call that adjusting. He's got to make an adjustment." Fantasy Tip: Martin entered play Tuesday hitless in 16 at-bats, and hitting just .200 over the past 22 games. Until he shows more consistency, he is worth nothing more than a reserve spot in deeper AL-only fantasy play. Comment () | Share: Rangers | Neal Cotts could be dealt or extended Tue, 29 Jul 2014 18:06:39 -0700 The Texas Rangers are fielding call for RP Neal Cotts, but there is no indication something would get done before the 4pm ET trade deadline Thursday, July 31. The team could trade him, or consider signing him to an extension. Comment () | Share: Rangers | Adrian Beltre moving up list Tue, 29 Jul 2014 18:06:16 -0700 Texas Rangers 3B Adrian Beltre posted his 517th career double Monday, July 28, moving into a tie for 48th place on the all-time list with former Major League 3B Scott Rolen. Comment () | Share: Rangers | Nick Tepesch to be pushed back Tue, 29 Jul 2014 13:39:26 -0700 Texas Rangers SP Nick Tepesch (knee) will be pushed back and won't start against the Cleveland Indians this weekend. Comment () | Share: Rangers | Yu Darvish relying more on slider Tue, 29 Jul 2014 09:11:37 -0700 Texas Rangers SP Yu Darvish has relied much more on his breaking pitches so far in the second half of the season. In his start against the New York Yankees Monday, July 28, he threw his slider 34 percent of the time. In his start against the Toronto Blue Jays to start the second half, he threw the pitch 35.9 percent of the time. Fantasy Tip: Darvish didn't have his best stuff against the Yanks Monday, but he still managed to pick up the win and fan eight hitters. That's what aces do: They excel when they don't have their best stuff. Comment () | Share: Rangers | Nick Tepesch needs to throw bullpen Tue, 29 Jul 2014 09:10:30 -0700 Texas Rangers SP Nick Tepesch (knee) will need to throw a bullpen session before he will be cleared to make his next start against the Cleveland Indians Friday, Aug. 1. Comment () | Share: Rangers | Adrian Beltre drawing interest Mon, 28 Jul 2014 14:52:54 -0700 Texas Rangers 3B Adrian Beltre is drawing interest from teams, but the Rangers have not engaged the interested parties, according to sources. Beltre and SP Yu Darvish are considered virtually untouchable. Fantasy Tip: We would be pretty surprised if Texas dealt Beltre this week. Comment () | Share: Rangers | Derek Holland could begin rehab assignment Wednesday Sun, 27 Jul 2014 11:55:12 -0700 Texas Rangers SP Derek Holland (knee) will throw a bullpen session Monday, July 28. If all goes well, he will make his first rehab start for Double-A Frisco Wednesday, July 30. Comment () | Share:  |
