Joc Pederson of the Texas Rangers watches his two home run against the Minnesota Twins

Malcolm Moore, the Rangers’ first round draft pick in 2024, was promoted to Frisco on Tuesday and has established himself as a legitimate catching prospect.

Robby Ahlstrom has been officially credited with his first major league win, though he had to file an appeal to get it.

The Rangers are 0-14 when giving up more than one run in the first inning, which has been a particular weakness for Kumar Rocker, and the offense is particularly anemic when needing to dig out of a hole, as well.

It doesn’t help that the latest example of this phenomenon was against a sub-.500 team, although that’s nothing new either.

Top prospect Sebastian Walcott is getting a taste of the major league atmosphere, as the organization invited him to Arlington while he rehabs from an injury.

Jacob Latz may have lost out to Kumar Rocker for the fifth starter role, but he has ended up as the team’s closer so it all worked out in the end.
