The Texas Rangers, based in Arlington, Texas, participate in Major League Baseball (MLB) and are a member of the American League West Division. The Rangers were founded as the Washington Senators in 1961.
Mike Olt has been locked in for a couple of days. The Surprise Saguaros have been locked in all season. The Rangers' No. 7 prospect homered and drove in six runs, falling a triple shy of the cycle, on Friday as Surprise whipped the Peoria Javelinas, 17-4, for their Arizona Fall League-leading 20th win. Braves [...]
The Cardinals have home-field advantage, but the Rangers have the alternating league trend. Since the American League’s White Sox won the World Series in 2005, the title has alternated between the leagues. The 107th Fall Classic is scheduled to begin Wednesday at Busch Stadium in St. Louis, and if Texas goes on to win it [...]
The Rangers had to wait, and they watched the Angels-A’s game on the big screen atop the Home Run Porch in right field. David DeJesus hit a home run to give the A’s a 3-1 lead in the ninth, and Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus went flying around the bases with a big smile on his [...]
After returning from the disabled list, Adrian Beltre made his presence felt almost as soon as he stepped into the box for his first at-bat in the second inning of Thursday’s game, a 7-2 win over the Rays.

In a small alcove outside the Rangers’ clubhouse, Josh Hamilton tried to explain what was going on with him and his family on a difficult Friday afternoon. “Obviously, I could be better,” Hamilton said. “There have been a lot of prayers.

That stunning fact is reinforced by a 2.54 ERA in their last 24 games and six shutouts in the last 20. C.J. Wilson and relievers Darren Oliver and Neftali Feliz combined on the [...]
Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus, with a one-run lead teetering on the brink, had some sage advice for closer Neftali Feliz in the ninth inning on Wednesday afternoon. “Throw the ball down the middle,” Andrus said after Feliz had just walked two White Sox hitters with one out and was in danger of suffering his third [...]
Craig Gentry was called up from Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday even though he had the weakest offensive numbers of their three outfielders. The difference is he is a right-handed hitter, while Endy Chavez and Doug Deeds are left-handed hitters. The Rangers’ three current starting outfielders at the Major League level — Julio Borbon, David [...]
Rangers manager Ron Washington said on Monday that he and pitching coach Mike Maddux are still sorting out the roles for a bullpen that went from eight to seven with Mark Lowe being sent to Triple-A Round Rock. Rangers relievers have allowed six runs on 11 hits and seven walks in their past 10 1/3 [...]
