Hub City salvages a rough day for rangers' Affiliates
The Rangers' Affiliates combined to go 1-2 on Sunday, July 6. The Round Rock Express game got rained out, so that was the reason for only three games being played. Hickory Crawdads The Hickory Crawdads suffered a big loss as they fall to the Kannapolis Ballers (White Sox) 9-2. It was a rough start for David Hagaman, he allowed four runs on two hits in 1.2 innings while allowing two walks and struck out two. All of the damage came in the second inning when he walked a pair while allowing both
RoughRiders Crush Missions 8-1, Spartanburgers and Crawdads Shine
Out of the first-half Texas League South race, the Frisco RoughRiders (38-30) played with fire Sunday, demolishing the San Antonio Missions 8-1 at Nelson Wolff Stadium.

Kumar Rocker the closer? Let's pump the brakes
Near the end of April I happened to come across a couple interesting posts on X/Twitter. The post discussed the possibility that the Texas Rangers might be looking to bring Kumar Rocker back in the closer role following his rehab assignment. This idea would be quickly shut down by President of Baseball Operations, Chris Young, but let’s discuss the idea overall. Why would this idea make sense? As it stands, the Rangers are currently 29-31 and 4 games back of the Seattle Mariners in the AL Wes
Osuna gets promoted to AAA Round Rock
The Texas Rangers No. 7 prospect Alejandro Osuna got the notice he was being promoted up to AAA as he continues to impress the Rangers organization every time he laces up the spikes Osuna is coming fresh off of winning Rangers minor league defender of the month where he didn’t have a single error in 176 innings in April and has gone 50 straight games without making one, so he’s more than just a steady bat in the lineup. To go along with his great defense Osuna was hitting .284 with 2 Long Balls
Round Rock Express Fall 9-7 to El Paso Chihuahuas
Last night, the Round Rock Express saw five hitters record two or more hits, but it wasn’t enough in a 9-7 loss to the El Paso Chihuahuas, with Kellen Strahm as the only batter without a hit. Despite the wind blowing in at 14 mph, the Express launched three solo home runs from Ezequiel Duran (4th), Justin Foscue (5th), and Sam Haggerty (1st), keeping the game competitive. Haggerty, Duran, and Foscue Lead Offense Sam Haggerty paced the lineup, going 3-for-5 with a home run, a double, and 2 RBI
Evan Carter rising to top form
After a rough start to the 2025 season in Triple-A Round Rock, Evan Carter has found his stride and is regaining confidence in himself, his back, and his swing. Carter started off his first 7 games by going just 2 for 25 with only 1 RBI and had yet to record a single XBH. Things seemed to be a little bleak for the rehabbing lefty who had been looking to recapture the essence of what he accomplished in the playoffs in 2023. However, for Carter to accomplish that he needed to learn to trust his s
Round Rock Express Power Past Sugar Land Space Cowboys 5-1
