Morning, all! In Arlington, Texas, the Texas Rangers took on the Toronto Blue Jays at Globe Life Field on September 20, 2026. Ranger Jake Burger hit a two-run home run in the fourth inning, scoring the winning runs. Former Texas Ranger Marcus Semien, now playing for the Mets, shared his memories of playing for the Rangers. The Rangers placed outfielder Joc Pederson on the injured list, retroactive to Saturday, but showed optimism about his availability for the playoffs.
Pederson had missed time in 2025 after being hit by a pitch, which resulted in a broken hand. Dominican Winter League player Ezequiel Duran showcased his skills, earning the eighth highest WAR in the American League. Tim Cowlishaw believes the Rangers have an edge over Houston in their final games due to their earlier start times.
However, last night's game was a letdown for the Rangers, partly due to poor defensive plays. The team's offense was particularly lackluster, going 1 for 8 with runners in scoring position. Ranger Jake Burger's assessment of the game summed it up simply: "it sucks."
