Rangers Shuffle Pitching Staff, Recall Top Prospect for Relief Arms

The Rangers' bullpen has struggled with walks and home runs, often relying on young and inexperienced relievers in crucial situations. The team hopes White can provide some relief and stability as they approach the trading deadline.

"Red Sox's Dominant Inning Crushes Rangers in Series Victory"

The Texas Rangers' ongoing issues were highlighted in a single inning against the Boston Red Sox, as their unreliable bullpen and struggling offense led to wasted chances, a blown lead, and a six-run seventh inning for Boston. The Rangers' hitting with runners in scoring position has been particularly problematic, with the top of the lineup struggling to produce. Leadoff hitter Marcus Semien extended his hitless streak to 19 at-bats, while Nathaniel Lowe and Adolis García have combined for a .181 batting average with RISP over the last month. The Rangers' lead in the AL West has dwindled to just two games, and they face the possibility of heading into the All-Star break without a division lead for the first time since April.
