The Texas Rangers scored three runs but the Atlanta Braves scored two runs with Travis d’Arnaud pitching in for six by himself.

Not much to say about this one. The Braves are a good team — maybe the best team if their pitching holds up — and apparently that includes an infinite supply of dingers from their No. 2 catcher. With 2023 All-Star backstop Sean Murphy on...

The Rangers have called up Owen White to get a fresh arm in the bullpen

The Texas Rangers have optioned Jack Leiter to AAA Round Rock. To take his place on the active roster, the Rangers have recalled pitcher Owen White from AAA Round Rock.

Leiter was called up just to make one spot start, and the expectation was that he would be sent back down after that start so the Rangers could add another arm to the bullpen mix. At this...

A real wacky one in the finale

The Texas Rangers scored nine runs while the Detroit Tigers scored seven runs.

Jack Leiter is officially a big leaguer and we got to see the full Jack Leiter experience today where you can easily see that he has the great stuff that made him No. 2 overall in the 2021 MLB draft, but also the command comes and goes and if big league hitters are sitting on a fastball, even one with elite markers, they will hit it hard...
