The Rangers host the Astros at 7:05. Including this one, they have six games left in a season that’s seen them lose a beloved manager and most of their decent players. Nick Martinez will start against Brett Oberholtzer in the pitching matchup. Going by peripherals, Martinez has been one of the worst regular starters in the majors this year.
Sources today report that Texas scouts are in the Dominican Republic to work out Cuban defector Yosmani Tomas. The Rangers were reportedly one of several teams to watch the outfielder over the weekend. Tomas has successfully established residency in the Dominican and is waiting on the MLB to approve him as a free agent.
