Rangers fly up the power rankings after a successful week at home
Two series wins have the Rangers on the right path.
The Texas Rangers have climbed up the power rankings after a successful week at home, according to Bleacher Report's Joel Reuter. In his latest rankings, the team moved from No. 18 to No. 12. This comes after the Rangers defeated the San Francisco Giants and Baltimore Orioles, both teams with below .500 records, in their home series.
The Rangers are now sitting second in their division, just a half-game behind the Houston Astros. With just over a week left in the season, the Rangers enter the final stretch with a chance to climb even higher in the standings. Utility player Ezequiel Duran has been instrumental in the team's success, hitting .272/.327/.451 in 2026 and posting impressive numbers in multiple positions.
The Rangers now have two more opportunities to solidify their position, facing the Los Angeles Angels and the Athletics, who have struggled this season. If they can continue their strong play, they could find themselves in a higher ranking by next week.
