Rangers' Joc Pederson: Mired in slump
Pederson went 0-for-3 with a walk in Friday's 5-3 loss to Seattle.
Pederson extended a hitless streak to 18 at-bats and is batting .086 (.334 OPS) for his new team. After a career-best season in 2024 while with Arizona, he gambled on free agency and won, getting a two-year deal with the Rangers. Texas viewed him as the answer at designated hitter, a position from which it got a league-low .584 OPS in 2024, but it has not yet worked out. Pederson has just one barrel (3.8 barrel percentage) and a career-worst 30.8 hard-hit percentage.

Rangers' Josh Smith: Moves to left field
Smith started in left field and went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored in Friday's 5-3 loss to the Mariners.
Smith, who had filled in at third base when Josh Jung was unavailable, moved to left field with Wyatt Langford (oblique) on the injured list. The multi-positional infielder/outfielder is 10-for-24 with three doubles, a home run, two RBI, three steals and seven runs scored over the last eight games. Kevin Pillar could see time in left field against southpaws, but Smith is expected to be the primary fill-in while Langford is out.

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Shaky again in no-decision
deGrom didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Mariners after allowing three runs on three hits and four walks in four innings. He struck out four.
The star right-hander wasn't at his best Friday, giving up two solo home runs and failing to throw a clean inning. Through three starts (14.2 innings), deGrom has a 4.30 ERA, 1.30 WHIP and 13:6 K:BB. The Rangers are being cautious with the oft-injured deGrom's workload to begin the season, and he'll be looking to reach the 90-pitch threshold for the first time this year in a home matchup against the Angels in the middle of next week.

Rangers' Chris Martin: Serves up go-ahead homer in loss
Martin (0-2) took the loss Friday against the Mariners after giving up two runs on two hits in 1.1 innings. He struck out one without walking a batter.
Martin served up a go-ahead two-run homer to Cal Raleigh in the eighth inning, allowing the Mariners to score what were ultimately the winning runs. Although the veteran right-hander entered spring training as Texas' presumed favorite for saves, he's fallen behind Luke Jackson in the bullpen pecking order to open the campaign. Even so, Martin holds a 2.25 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 12:2 K:BB with four holds over eight innings this year, so he should remain in the high-leverage mix going forward.

Rangers' Josh Jung: Keeps raking with two-run homer
Jung went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run, an additional RBI and a stolen base Friday against the Mariners.
Jung connected for a game-tying two-run homer off Mariners right-hander Trent Thornton in the sixth inning that just snuck over the right-field wall. While Jung hasn't yet drawn a walk across 19 plate appearances, he's batting a scorching .474 with the aforementioned long ball, two doubles, one triple and six RBI through five games so far this season. The former top prospect should be rostered in the majority of mixed fantasy leagues.

Rangers' Jonah Heim: Logs third homer
Heim started at designated hitter and went 2-for-4 with a two-run home run in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Cubs.
Heim's two-run homer in the fifth inning turned out to be the game-winning knock. It was the third home run of the season for Heim, who leads the Rangers with seven RBI over nine games played. While he and Kyle Higashioka have alternated at catcher, Heim has been used as a DH three times thus far and could continue filling that role frequently if the bat holds up.

Rangers' Kevin Pillar: Starts in left field
Pillar started in left field and went 1-for-4 with a run scored in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Cubs.
Pillar singled and scored in the fifth inning. He filled in for the injured Wyatt Langford, who was placed on the 10-day injured list Tuesday with an oblique injury. Pillar drew the start against lefty Shota Imanaga, but Josh Smith could be the preferred option Friday when the Rangers face Seattle righty Bryce Miller.

Rangers' Corey Seager: Homers twice in win
Seager went 2-for-5 with a pair of solo home runs in Wednesday's 6-2 win over the Cubs.
Seager opened the scoring with a first-inning homer off Shota Imanaga before adding a second long ball off Nate Pearson in the seventh, extending the Rangers' lead to 6-1. Seager looks to be heating up at the plate -- he now has back-to-back two-hit games after going 5-for-31 (.161) with just one homer in his first nine contests this year.

Rangers' Tyler Mahle: Goes seven innings in win
Mahle (2-0) earned the win Wednesday over the Cubs, allowing one run on two hits and a walk over seven innings. He struck out four.
Mahle was excellent Wednesday, limiting the Cubs to just one extra-base hit over seven innings to record a second straight win and his first quality start since 2023. The 30-year-old right-hander has allowed just two earned runs on five hits across 13.2 innings in his first three starts this season. Mahle will look to keep rolling in his next outing, currently scheduled for next week at home against the Angels.

Rangers' Dustin Harris: Receives call to majors
The Rangers recalled Harris from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday.
Harris will give Texas some extra coverage in the outfield while Wyatt Langford (oblique) is on the injured list, though the 25-year-old won't necessarily be a direct replacement for Langford in the everyday lineup. Kevin Pillar will draw the start in left field in Wednesday's game against the Cubs, and he, Harris, Josh Smith and Ezequiel Duran could all be in the mix for playing time while Langford is out. Harris received a brief cup of coffee with the Rangers last September but otherwise spent the entire 2024 campaign at Round Rock, with whom he slashed .272/.355/.391 with 10 home runs and 35 stolen bases across 562 plate appearances.

Rangers' Ezequiel Duran: Back in big leagues
The Rangers recalled Duran from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.
Duran was just optioned Tuesday but is back a day later as Wyatt Langford (oblique) goes on the injured list. Duran could see some action in the outfield while Langford is shelved.

Rangers' Jonathan Ornelas: Optioned to Triple-A
The Rangers optioned Ornelas to Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.
Ornelas was recalled in late March but played sparingly, making just one start. Ezequiel Duran and Dustin Harris have joined the big club as Ornelas goes down and Wyatt Langford (oblique) lands on the injured list.

Rangers' Wyatt Langford: Placed on IL with strained oblique
The Rangers placed Langford on the 10-day injured list Wednesday due to a right oblique strain.
Langford's oblique tightened up on him during Tuesday's loss to the Cubs, and an MRI showed enough damage that a trip to the IL was warranted. According to Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News, manager Bruce Bochy said Langford felt "pretty good" when he reported to the clubhouse Wednesday, but it's not yet clear how long the young outfielder might be sidelined. Kevin Pillar will start in left field for the Rangers on Wednesday and could see an expanded role while Langford is out. Josh Smith, Dustin Harris and Ezequiel Duran will also be in the mix for starts in left field.

Rangers' Joc Pederson: Idle against southpaw
Pederson is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.
Pederson will take a seat for the second time in the series while the Cubs send another lefty (Shota Imanaga) to the mound. With Pederson on the bench, Jonah Heim will get a day off from catching duties and will serve as the Rangers' designated hitter.

Rangers' Josh Smith: Back to bench Wednesday
Smith is out of the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.
The Cubs are sending a tough southpaw (Shota Imanaga) to the hill for the series finale, so the lefty-hitting Smith will retreat to the bench. Though Smith no longer has a path to regular playing time at third base with Josh Jung (neck) returning from the injured list earlier this week, Smith could see action in left field if Wyatt Langford requires a stint on the IL after tweaking his oblique Tuesday.

Rangers' Wyatt Langford: Absent from Wednesday's lineup
Langford (oblique) is not in the lineup for Wednesday's game against the Cubs.
Langford was removed from Tuesday's 10-6 loss with right oblique tightness. The Rangers haven't provided an update from the MRI that Langford underwent on his side, so it's not yet known whether he'll require a trip to the injured list. Kevin Pillar will start in left field and bat seventh for the Rangers on Wednesday.
