The Texas Rangers aren’t done with their roster construction. Early Thursday, word broke that they had reached a minor-league deal with Andrew McCutchen, the 2013 National League MVP and longtime Pirates fan favorite. The five-time All-Star must perform the rest of camp to earn a roster spot as a part-time outfielder and DH who would serve as the right-handed-hitting complement to Evan Carter and Joc Pederson. He also brings 17 seasons of experience to a team whose bench candidates lean young.

It was going to happen eventually — Jacob deGrom and Brandon Nimmo were going to play this spring for the Texas Rangers. The debuts arrived Wednesday against Team Brazil. The Rangers started deGrom on the mound after his All-Star season, and Nimmo was the leadoff man and right fielder behind his former Mets teammate. For deGrom, he allowed a solo home run and two other hits in two innings, striking out three, and Nimmo went 1 for 2 with a single and a walk. Both felt fine afterward and said they will be ready to go on Opening Day, March 26 against the Phillies.

The 2025 Texas Ragners had the best ERA in baseball, and the two leaders of the pitching staff are looking for a repeat in 2026. Jacob deGrom hasn’t gotten started yet this spring, though by design. He’s healthy and expects to pitch soon. Nathan Eovaldi pitched Monday, though in a simulated game rather than face the Guardians in the Cactus League game. He was making his third start of spring training, scheduled to go four innings. The Rangers have also made several roster moves and have multiple injury updates.

Texas Rangers right-hander Jack Leiter enters spring training looking to build on his late-season momentum and solid outings on the mound. After showing improved command and composure, Leiter is now focused on taking the next step in his development as Texas evaluates its starting rotation heading into 2026.

The Texas Rangers are sorting out a crowded pitching rotation at spring training in Surprise, Arizona, with major attention on the battle for the fifth starter spot. Top prospect Kumar Rocker is generating buzz after strong early outings, while Jacob Latz continues to make a case with his versatility between the rotation and bullpen.

Veteran ace Nathan Eovaldi is working through early spring adjustments, experimenting with his splitter despite mixed results. Jack Leiter has also shown flashes, adding intrigue to the Rangers’ pitching depth heading into Opening Day.

With Jacob deGrom expected to ramp up soon and roster decisions approaching, Texas faces a pivotal call on whether upside or reliability wins out in the rotation.

The Texas Rangers didn’t have to worry about Jack Leiter over the offseason. He earned his rotation spot last season, going 10-10 with a 3.86 ERA and showing improvement in the second half. He isn’t complacent with his breakthrough 2025 and is looking for small ways to make big improvements in 2026. He has added a cut fastball to his arsenal and is hoping he can finish off innings sooner so that he can work deeper into games. He’s part of a deep rotation that could be one of the league’s best. He starts Saturday. Will Josh Jung and Corey Seager be in the lineup? An update on their health is also in the episode.
