News
	MacKenzie Gore took the loss Wednesday against the Angels after allowing seven runs on nine hits and one walk over five innings. He struck out seven. Gore gave up two home runs to Jo Adell, which accounted for five of the seven runs. Bruno Mulé Thu, Jul 9th	Kumar Rocker allowed seven earned runs on eight hits and two walks while striking out six over 5 2/3 innings in Saturday's loss to the Astros. Chris Schommer Sun, Jul 12th
	MacKenzie Gore took the loss Wednesday against the Guardians after allowing five runs on seven hits and one walk over five innings. He struck out seven in Texas’ 9-4 defeat, with all five runs coming in the second inning, including a three-run homer by David Fry. Bruno Mulé Thu, Jul 2nd	Kumar Rocker took the loss Sunday against the Tigers after allowing three runs on five hits and one walk over 4.1 innings. He struck out four. Most of the damage came on a two-run homer by Riley Greene in the fourth inning, and Rocker exited in the fifth after allowing a single. Bruno Mulé Mon, Jul 6th
	MacKenzie Gore earned the win Thursday against the Blue Jays after allowing three runs on four hits and one walk over seven innings. He struck out five and recorded 10 groundouts, with all three runs coming in the fifth inning. Bruno Mulé Fri, Jun 26th	Rangers right-hander Kumar Rocker will start Sunday's series finale against the Tigers. Brenton Kemp Sat, Jul 4th
	MacKenzie Gore allowed one earned run on five hits and two walks while striking out six over six innings in Saturday's loss to the Padres. Chris Schommer Sun, Jun 21st	Kumar Rocker did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Blue Jays after allowing four hits and one walk over six scoreless innings. He struck out five while recording his fourth quality start of the season. Bruno Mulé Mon, Jun 29th
	MacKenzie Gore will start for the Rangers on Saturday against the Padres. Ari Koslow Sat, Jun 20th	Kumar Rocker allowed two runs on five hits over five innings Monday against the Marlins while recording a career-high nine strikeouts. Working behind opener Tyler Alexander, Rocker needed just 76 pitches to complete five frames and generated 20 swinging strikes with a 46 percent CSW. He also benefited from a key defensive play in the sixth inning when Ezequiel Duran cut down Xavier Edwards at the plate to end the frame. Bruno Mulé Tue, Jun 23rd
Notes
	MacKenzie Gore followed up his 2024 step forward with another strikeout-heavy season in 2025, posting a career-best K-rate (27%+) while maintaining improved walk control compared to his early MLB years. Projections suggest he is a mid-rotation arm, forecasting solid strikeouts with league-average ERA and WHIP over a full workload. At age 27, Gore looks like a fantasy SP3/SP4 whose upside is tied to further command gains. The move to Texas could boost his win total, but only if the other metrics continue to improve.
