<p><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/brandon-nimmo">Brandon Nimmo</a> was one of those players who felt like part of the heart of the <strong>New York Mets</strong> fan base. Now, he’s no longer with the team. He’s heading to the <strong>Texas Rangers</strong>, and he recently said in a message that this trade is ultimately what’s best for the Mets.</p>



<p><em>“The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-mets">Mets</a> would not have brought this trade if they didn’t feel like it put the <strong>Mets in the best position to win</strong> going forward,” </em>Nimmo said, <strong>speaking calmly and sounding fully aligned</strong> with the decision. <em>“They made it very apparent that they weren’t actively shopping me but that the Rangers really, really, really wanted me.”</em></p>



<p>In the long message posted by SNY Mets, Nimmo admitted he’s starving to win a World Series. <em>“I would not have waived the no-trade clause if I did not think that I could come here [Texas] and win and<strong> be a part of chasing that World Series.</strong>”</em></p>



<h2>A World Series is at the center of Nimmo’s priorities</h2>



<p>Among the many things Nimmo addressed, he <strong>emphasized twice how important winning a World Series is to him</strong>. He called it a major goal and made it clear that personal stats or franchise records, things that could’ve helped define a strong career with the Mets, were not what he truly wanted.</p>

<h2>Nimmo admits the trade caught him off guard</h2>



<p>Fans wanted to know if Nimmo was upset by the trade. In his recent comments, he admitted it wasn’t something he saw coming. <strong><em>“It definitely took me as a shock. I was surprised to hear that.” </em></strong>And as previously reported, it took him several days to accept the move.</p>



<p>Nimmo also revealed he spoke with Jacob deGrom, his former Mets teammate until 2022. The pitcher helped him work through the decision, and according to Nimmo, he is<em> “really, really excited”</em> to have him in Texas. <em>“I would not have waived the no-trade clause if I did not think that I could come here <strong>and win and be a part of chasing that World Series</strong>.”</em></p>



<p>But as he said himself, if the trade was truly what the Mets believed was best for their future, then that’s how he viewed it too. He accepted it as something that could <strong>benefit the organization</strong>. </p>



<p>President of Baseball Operations David Stearns spoke briefly about that “benefit,” saying cautiously, <em>“I don’t know <strong>if it’s necessarily wanting to change the clubhouse dynamics. </strong>I think it’s a recognition that what we did last year wasn’t good enough and running back the exact same group wasn’t the right thing to do,”</em> when asked whether moving Nimmo was meant to alter locker room chemistry.</p>



<div class="ck-twitter"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-media-max-width="560"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">"I will always remember the Mets fans fondly."<br><br>Brandon Nimmo talks about the outpouring of support he&apos;s gotten from Mets fans since news broke of him being traded to Texas: <a href="https://t.co/CsWv5LCr9A">pic.twitter.com/CsWv5LCr9A</a></p>— SNY Mets (@SNY_Mets) <a href="https://twitter.com/SNY_Mets/status/1993052550388695446?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">November 24, 2025</a></blockquote></div> 



<h2>Mets fans get one last message from Nimmo</h2>



<p>Before heading to his new team, Nimmo made sure to say goodbye to the Mets fans <strong>who supported him through the years,</strong> from the minors to the majors. He thanked them for their loyalty and love.</p>



<p><em>“There is truly no way I could adequately put into words how much my tenure with the Mets has meant to me. <strong>All I can say is thank you. </strong>Thank you Mets fans for embracing and welcoming a kid from Cheyenne, Wyoming to the Big Apple. I always aspired to become a big leaguer—<strong>I never knew I’d have the opportunity to accomplish that dream in a city so wildly passionate about the game of baseball. </strong>The last 14 years have felt like a dream, and it has been an absolute honor to share them with you. You made me feel like family, and I hope you felt the same. I will always be grateful for our time and memories together. With love, always,” Nimmo wrote on Instagram.</em></p>

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-mets">New York Mets</a></strong> made a significant statement this offseason by acquiring All-Star second baseman <strong>Marcus Semien </strong>from the<strong> Texas Rangers</strong>, a decisive move aimed at reinforcing the lineup around <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/juan-soto">Juan Soto</a></strong> in exchange for longtime outfielder<strong> Brandon Nimmo</strong>.</p>



<p>Both teams enter the trade following difficult seasons: the <strong>Rangers missed the postseason in consecutive years since winning the 2023 World Series</strong>, while the <strong>Mets</strong> failed to reach the playoffs in Juan Soto’s first season.</p>



<p><em>“BREAKING: The New York Mets and Texas Rangers are finalizing a trade that would send second baseman <strong>Marcus Semien to the Mets and outfielder Brandon Nimmo to the Rangers</strong>, sources tell ESPN,”</em> reported Jeff Passan. Nimmo waived his no-trade clause to facilitate the move, ending a decade-long tenure with the Mets.</p>



<h2>Why did the Mets and Rangers make this trade?</h2>



<p>The trade gives <strong>Semien</strong> a new home in New York, <strong>addressing a key infield need</strong>, while the Rangers add Brandon Nimmo, a <strong>2015 first-round pick</strong> and longtime Met.</p>

In 2023, Texas acquired <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/max-scherzer">Max Scherzer</a></strong> from New York during their World Series run, with the Mets covering most of the contract while gaining top prospects. </p>

The 25 best Texas Rangers icons in MLB history: From Nolan Ryan to Beltre - Bolavip US

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-mets" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Mets</a></strong> appear to have found the missing piece of their pitching puzzle in Nolan McLean. With McLean on the roster, the need for additional pitching support seems much less urgent. While that’s a bit of an exaggeration, it’s undeniable that McLean was instrumental in delivering another victory for the Mets, this time clinching the series finale against the <strong>Texas Rangers</strong>.</p>



<p>McLean’s presence on the mound helped the Mets snap a six-game losing streak and recover from a four-game series loss to the Philadelphia Phillies. His exceptional performance against the Rangers came at a crucial moment, <strong>as the Mets are battling to maintain their Wild Card positioning, facing pressure from the San Francisco Giants.</strong></p>



<p>McLean’s outstanding performance also etched his name into the Mets’ franchise history. <strong>With the lowest ERA over his first six starts, he achieved a remarkable milestone. </strong>Following the triumph over the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/texas-rangers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rangers</a></strong>, McLean shared his thoughts on reaching this outstanding achievement.</p>



<p><em><strong>“I’m not a huge stats guy. I try to just go out there and give my team the best chance to win every single time,”</strong></em> McLean told the media post-game. He emphasized that accolades won’t distract him and that he remains focused on supporting the Mets in their pursuit of a Wild Card spot.</p>

<h2>Francisco Alvarez reflects on McLean’s impact</h2>



<p>In the wake of a milestone achievement, Francisco Alvarez shared his insights on teammate McLean’s impressive performance. This came after the Mets’ victory against the Rangers, <strong>where the media sought Alvarez’s perspective on McLean’s contributions during the regular season.</strong></p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/nhl/ny-mets-manager-carlos-mendoza-breaks-silence-on-whos-to-blame-amid-six-game-skid-in-nl-wild-card-race"></div>


<p>“<em>He impresses me every day when he’s on the mound,”</em> Alvarez remarked. <em><strong>“He’s a player who can control every pitch, which is what makes him so effective.” </strong></em>As McLean’s performance is creating plenty of buzz, and even his teammates are praising him, the Mets could rely on him to secure that Wild Card spot.</p>



<h2>McLean’s standout stats in his first six games with the Mets</h2>



<p>It’s uncommon for a rookie MLB player to receive widespread acclaim immediately following their debut, but McLean has defied the norm. From the start, <strong>analysts and Mets fans have lauded his potential and impact, highlighting him as a remarkable player to watch.</strong></p>



<p>Living up to that confidence, McLean has delivered outstanding statistics. Over his six starts, <strong>he has conceded just 25 hits and 5 runs, allowing only one home run while striking out 40 batters in 37.2 innings.</strong> His impressive 1.19 ERA provides head coach Carlos Mendoza with a crucial asset as the Mets continue their pursuit of a Wild Card spot with strategic game planning.</p>

Nolan McLean reflects on reaching milestone with the NY Mets after beating the Rangers - Bolavip US

<p>In a series finale that saw the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-yankees" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Yankees</a></strong> triumph over the <strong>Texas Rangers</strong>, David Bednar emerged as a standout performer. Marking the Yankees’ first victory in August, Bednar, a strategic mid-season addition, delivered a remarkable performance that played a pivotal role in the win.</p>



<p>Amidst a charged atmosphere at Yankee Stadium and a vocal online fan base, the Yankees’ players rose to the occasion. Key contributions came from Paul Goldschmidt and Bednar, <strong>with both players instrumental in securing the crucial series victory.</strong></p>



<p>Bednar’s impressive display has prompted the Yankees’ coaching staff to deliberate over their strategy for the upcoming series against the Houston Astros, one of the top teams of the current regular season. <strong>This matchup presents a significant test for the Yankees as they seek to bolster their position in the standings.</strong></p>



<p>In the wake of Bednar’s outstanding game against the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/texas-rangers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rangers</a></strong>, the Yankees have made a decisive roster move concerning their pitching lineup. The team announced via social media that <strong>they have released right-handed pitcher JT Brubaker, who had played 12 games this season for the Yankees.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">

</div></figure>



<h2>Brubaker’s stats in this regular season with the Yankees</h2>



<p>As the Yankees made roster adjustments, Brubaker’s performance unfortunately did not command a lasting presence on the team this season.<strong> Over the course of 12 games, he pitched 16 innings, recording 10 strikeouts.</strong></p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/mlb/ny-yankees-hc-aaron-boones-concise-7-word-take-on-david-bednars-performance-against-rangers"></div>


<p>Additionally, Brubaker <strong>allowed 10 hits, 6 runs, and issued 9 bases on balls. With these numbers, he struggled to make a significant impact. </strong>As the franchise endures a challenging season, Brubaker was among those unable to fully leverage their potential with the Yankees.</p>



<h2>Brubaker’s career stats</h2>



<p>Prior to joining the Yankees, Brubaker spent three years with the Pittsburgh Pirates, delivering a commendable set of statistics.<strong> In 63 games, he notched 324 strikeouts, while allowing 328 hits, 187 runs, and 51 home runs.</strong></p>



<p>Despite these commendable performances, <strong>Brubaker did not appear in any Major League Baseball games for three years until the Yankees brought him back this season.</strong> Unfortunately, he was unable to replicate his past successes during his stint in New York.</p>

<p><strong>New York Yankees</strong> manager <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/aaron-boone" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Aaron Boone</a></strong> was at the center of controversy following the team’s recent two-game sweep by the <strong>Texas Rangers</strong>. With the Yankees trailing 0-2 in the series, the fan base is experiencing growing frustration over the team’s underwhelming start this August. Boone’s roster management decisions, in particular, have drawn significant ire from supporters.</p>



<p>While players are often held accountable for a franchise’s loss on the field, there are times when the focus shifts to the manager’s strategic decisions, or lack thereof. Fans have taken to social media to debate Boone’s choices, <strong>particularly criticizing his roster adjustments, or absence thereof, during these critical games.</strong></p>



<p>In Tuesday’s matchup against the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/texas-rangers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rangers</a></strong>, Boone opted to send Devin Williams to the mound once again, despite Williams’ underperformance in Monday’s series opener. <strong>However, the most contentious issue was the continued sidelining of Mark Leiter Jr., who remained in the bullpen much to the dismay of the fan base.</strong></p>



<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-yankees" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Yankees</a></strong> fans had anticipated that with Leiter Jr. back, he would be included in the lineup. <strong>Boone, however, defended his decision post-game as fans continued to voice their displeasure.</strong></p>

<p>Fans have taken to social media in response to Boone’s comments about not fielding Leiter Jr., citing the player’s lack of recent play as the reason. However, supporters are quick to point out that in Game 1 of the World Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, <strong>Boone didn’t hesitate to field a player in a similar situation as Leiter Jr.</strong></p>



<p>While the context of the prior instance differed, with the team vying for a championship title, <strong>the skepticism of fans emerges from Boone’s decision during a regular season game against the Rangers, a game crucial for playoff contention.</strong> As a result, Boone’s comments have sparked significant debate among the fan base.</p>



<h2>Yankees fans launch campaign for Boone’s departure</h2>



<p>Despite previous successes under his management, a faction of Yankees fans has initiated a campaign for Boone’s dismissal. <strong>An image circulating on social media denotes a date, August 12th, for Boone to step down as head coach.</strong> This reflects the growing discontent among the fan base, who, despite recognizing Boone’s past achievements, are eager for change.</p>

NY Yankees’ manager Aaron Boone faces backlash over roster decisions against Rangers

NY Yankees' manager Aaron Boone faces backlash over roster decisions against Rangers - Bolavip US

<p>The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-yankees" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">New York Yankees</a></strong>, one of Major League Baseball’s most storied franchises, find themselves navigating turbulent waters during the 2025 <strong>MLB</strong> regular season. Despite holding the record for the most World Series championships in history, this season has proven challenging, with the team struggling to replicate past success.</p>



<p>The Yankees began the season on a high note, displaying impressive chemistry and focus. However, since May, that cohesion has significantly waned. This decline has seen <strong>the Yankees slip from first to third place in the American League East standings, now trailing the Toronto Blue Jays and the Boston Red Sox.</strong></p>



<p>As key players face individual slumps, the Yankees are actively working to adjust their roster and address the difficulties they’re experiencing. Unfortunately, rather than producing standout performances,<strong> the Yankees are setting an unfortunate record in the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">MLB</a>.</strong></p>



<p>Following a setback in their series opener against the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/texas-rangers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Texas Rangers</a></strong>, the Yankees solidified an unwelcome milestone related to their struggles in extra innings. As noted by <em>former ESPN statistician Katie Sharp</em>, <em><strong>“The Yankees have 28 regular-season walk-off losses in games of 10+ innings since 2020. That’s the most in MLB.” </strong></em>This statistic highlights the current challenges facing the Yankees as they strive to regain their footing in this competitive season.</p>

<h2>Yankees’ struggles this season</h2>



<p>The Yankees have been grappling with a challenging stretch, marked by a scarcity of victories in recent weeks. Although they have shown promise early in games, <strong>opposing teams are capitalizing on the Yankees’ inability to close out matchups, leading to increasingly evident frustrations for the franchise.</strong></p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#/mlb/ny-yankees-make-strong-decision-with-newcomer-struggling-under-aaron-boone"></div>


<p>A significant concern arose last week when the Yankees failed to secure a series win against the Miami Marlins. <strong>This defeat drew considerable criticism, amplifying worries as the Yankees continue a negative trend against the Marlins</strong>, notably the only team maintaining a favorable head-to-head record against the Bronx Bombers in recent encounters.</p>



<h2>Judge: The potential key to a comeback</h2>



<p>Every MLB team relies on standout players to shift momentum, and for the Yankees, Aaron Judge has been a pivotal figure. <strong>Judge’s performance has sparked discussions about the team’s potential resurgence this season.</strong> The Yankees are precariously positioned and run the risk of missing a spot in the postseason unless they quickly regain form.</p>



<p>In the upcoming series against the Rangers, Judge is expected to return, having been officially announced in the active roster. His presence will hopefully bolster the Yankees’ offensive efforts, <strong>steer them back to winning ways during the regular season, and rejuvenate their drive towards postseason contention.</strong></p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/adolis-garcia">Adolis Garcia</a></strong> has become more than just a bat in the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/texas-rangers">Texas Rangers</a></strong>’ lineup. His postseason heroics and electric presence earned him a new deal, one that reflects both his value on the field and his growing stature in the clubhouse.</p>



<p>The agreement, finalized ahead of the 2024 campaign, was a turning point for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/all-star">All‑Star</a> outfielder. It wasn’t just about locking in numbers, but about solidifying his role in a team with championship ambitions.</p>



<p>Still, behind every contract lies a story — of negotiations, expectations and what a franchise is willing to invest in its stars. For the right fielder, that balance between dollars and performance makes this deal one worth examining closely.</p>



<h2>What is Adolis Garcia’s salary with the Texas Rangers?</h2>



<p>Adolis Garcia signed a two‑year, <strong>$14 million deal with the Rangers</strong> in February 2024, bypassing arbitration by agreement rather than hearing. Spotrac confirms $4.75 million for 2024 and <strong>$9.25 million for 2025</strong>, averaging $7 million annually.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250804_BUS_462937_Adolis-Garcia-1024x576_ff70072b.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="" class="wp-image-463014" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/04115043/Adolis-Garcia-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/04115043/Adolis-Garcia-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/04115043/Adolis-Garcia-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/04115043/Adolis-Garcia-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/04115043/Adolis-Garcia-740x416.jpg 740w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/04115043/Adolis-Garcia-490x275.jpg 490w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/04115043/Adolis-Garcia-250x140.jpg 250w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/08/04115043/Adolis-Garcia.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Adolis García #53 of the Texas Rangers poses for a portrait during photo day at Surprise Stadium on February 19, 2025. (Source: Emilee Chinn/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p>But that’s not the full picture. Incentives tied to plate appearances, MVP placement and All‑<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb">MLB</a> honors could raise his total compensation to a maximum of $20.25 million, highlighting a deal built on performance elevation above base salary.</p>



<h2>Adolis Garcia’s contract: How long does the deal last?</h2>



<p>When the Texas Rangers signed Adolis Garcia in February 2024, the agreement extended through both the <strong>2024 and 2025 seasons</strong>, covering his first <strong>two years of arbitration eligibility</strong> and solidifying control through those seasons.</p>



<p>This two-year structure not only guaranteed him a combined $14 million, but it also meant the team sidestepped arbitration twice—eliminating uncertainty and potential public hearings in 2024 and 2025.</p>



<p>Under the terms of the deal, <strong>he won’t reach arbitration again until the 2026 cycle</strong>, and his earliest free agency window opens after the 2025 season, giving both sides cost predictability and a clear timeline.</p>



<p>What this means in practice is that his future beyond this season remains open-ended. If his performance stays strong, the conversation is likely to shift toward potential extension talks next year.</p>

His arrival brought instant credibility to a franchise desperate for postseason success.</p>



<p>Behind the scenes, <strong>his contract quickly became a point of intrigue</strong>. With his track record—three titles in San Francisco and a knack for turning clubs around—his deal was never going to be ordinary, but the exact figures remained under wraps.</p>



<p>What is known is that his leadership paid off fast, delivering Texas its long‑awaited <strong>World Series glory</strong>. And while his salary might not top the charts, his impact on the Rangers makes his deal worth every penny.</p>



<h2>What is Bruce Bochy’s salary with the Texas Rangers?</h2>



<p>Bruce Bochy returned to managing the Texas Rangers in October 2022 under a three‑year deal, and while the precise salary was never officially disclosed, Forbes places <strong>his annual pay in the $4 million to $5 million range</strong>.</p>

<p>Despite being one of the most decorated managers in baseball history, he’s often called “<em>MLB’s most underpaid man</em>” given his pedigree and recent success. By comparison, his final season with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/san-francisco-giants">San Francisco Giants</a> had him earning approximately $6 million.</p>



<p>Those familiar with the deal say he accepted the lower figure willingly, motivated more by mission than money after stepping away from retirement. Even so, league insiders note that <strong>his presence alone vaulted the Rangers into the upper echelon of managerial payrolls</strong>.</p>



<h2>Bruce Bochy’s contract: How long does the deal last?</h2>



<p>The Rangers officially unveiled Bruce Bochy as their manager on October 21, 2022, announcing a firm <strong>three‑year contract covering the 2023 through 2025 seasons</strong>. This marked his first American League assignment following successful stints in San Diego and San Francisco.</p>



<p><strong>That timeline places 2025 as his final guaranteed year</strong>, with no extension signed by the beginning of the 2025 season. As of August, he has confirmed he’s simply focused on the here and now—“just 2025”, he told reporters, leaving his future deliberately open-ended.</p>



<p>Still, <strong>the team has signalled they’d be happy to keep him on beyond that</strong>. Sources inside the organization say the door is open for him to continue in 2026 and beyond, should both sides see fit.</p>

<p><strong>Bruce Bochy</strong> was unable to find a way for the <strong>Rangers </strong>to win more games on the road during a grueling seven-game stretch where they won just two. One of those wins came against the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/seattle-mariners">Seattle Mariners</a>, but the final game of that series was marred by a critical mistake from Adolis García.</p>



<p>Following the narrow 5-4 loss to the Mariners<strong>, </strong>fans wanted to know what Bochy thought of <strong>García’s decision not to slide into second base</strong>, a play that could have helped the Rangers in the game.</p>



<p>Regarding that decision, Bochy stated clearly, “<em>Absolutely <strong>no excuse </strong>in a game like… Can’t happen…” </em>He added that he didn’t know what was going through García’s mind, saying,<em> “I don’t know what he was thinking.”</em></p>



<h2>García Has a Good Game Against Mariners</h2>



<p>Bochy insists that when a player is in a game, they should never stop giving their full effort. “<strong><em>You play the game, you don’t stop,”</em></strong> the manager told Rangers Sports Network. Despite the criticized play, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/adolis-garcia">García</a> had a relatively good game, going 3-for-3 with a home run and an RBI. His average now stands at .228.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20250804_BUS_459673_Adolis-Garcia-of-the-Rangers-1024x576_3d8babd2.webp&amp;width=1024&amp;height=576" alt="Adolis Garcia of the Rangers" class="wp-image-81952" srcset="https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/28091541/Adolis-Garcia-of-the-Rangers-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/28091541/Adolis-Garcia-of-the-Rangers-300x169.jpg 300w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/28091541/Adolis-Garcia-of-the-Rangers-768x432.jpg 768w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/28091541/Adolis-Garcia-of-the-Rangers-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https://images.futbolsites.net/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/28091541/Adolis-Garcia-of-the-Rangers.jpg 1920w" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure><figcaption>Adolis Garcia of the Rangers. (Jamie Squire/Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<p>García’s home run was his first since July 30, which came in the first of the two victories during the seven-game road trip. For the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb">MLB</a> season, he has a total of 16 home runs and 63 RBIs. García’s batting average is the seventh-best among his starting teammates.</p>



<h2>Rangers’ Next Series</h2>



<p>The long road trip is finally over, and the Rangers now return home where they can hopefully recover after losing five games. They will face a<strong> Yankees team that is also desperate for wins and is in a difficult position</strong>. At least the Rangers, who are in third place in the AL West with a 58-55 record, have a better chance of moving up in the standings.</p>

<p>Joc Pederson suffered a fracture in his right hand and is expected to miss several weeks from the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/texas-rangers">Texas Rangers</a> roster. In response to the loss of their designated hitter, the team has already made its first move.</p>



<p><em>“The Texas Rangers are c<strong>alling up outfielder Alejandro Osuna,</strong> sources tell me and Kiley McDaniel. The 22-year-old started the year at Double-A and impressed enough in eight Triple-A games to get the call to the big leagues and try to help a Rangers offense that is 27th in runs scored,” </em>Jeff Passan wrote on X about Osuna’s promotion to the majors.</p>



<p>It’s good news for both the Rangers and Osuna,<strong> though it’s worth noting that Blaine Crim and Dustin Harris were also under consideration</strong>—both with strong enough numbers to merit a call-up. Still, Osuna had been riding a hot streak.</p>



<h2>When could Pederson return?</h2>



<p>According to Shawn McFarland, <strong>Pederson is expected to return in approximately six weeks</strong>, which means he’ll miss all of June and could return sometime during the first week of July—possibly before or after Independence Day.</p>

<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/new-york-yankees">New York Yankees</a> are setting up their probable pitching rotation for the upcoming home series against the Texas Rangers, <strong>with Will Warren potentially lined up to take the mound in the opener. </strong>While nothing has been confirmed yet, the team will be looking to maximize every available arm as they continue their push forward.</p>



<p>Warren has made nine starts this season,<strong> posting a 2–2 record with a 4.61 ERA. </strong>He hasn’t been the most dominant arm in the rotation, but he’s far from the bottom—especially compared to Marcus Stroman, who’s sidelined with an 11.57 ERA, and Carlos Carrasco, who carries a 5.91 ERA.</p>



<p>Warren’s most recent outing came on May 14 against the Mariners, where he maintained his 4.61 ERA. Before that, on May 9, <strong>he helped the Yankees to a dominant 10–2 win over the Athletics</strong> and pitched a season-high 7.1 innings.</p>



<h2>Yankees’ Probable Starters vs. Rangers</h2>



<p>The Yankees may not be using their top-tier starters for this series, <strong>but being at home could give them an edge</strong>. This three-game stretch will be a prime opportunity for these arms to improve their <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/mlb">MLB</a> numbers:</p>

<p>There’s reason for optimism surrounding the <strong>Los Angeles Dodgers</strong> this season.<br>Off to a solid 15–7 start, Dave Roberts’ squad is set to wrap up their series against the <strong>Texas Rangers</strong> this Sunday. However, the team received some unwelcome news involving superstar <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/shohei-ohtani" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Shohei Ohtani</a></strong>.</p>



<p>With the series tied 1–1, Sunday marks the final meeting between these teams, at least for now. The Rangers impressed in their last outing, and with the series on the line, <strong>they’re preparing to face a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-dodgers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Dodgers</a> team that will look a bit different this time around.</strong></p>
