Less than two weeks is what separates Texas Rangers spring training from the 2021 Texas Rangers regular season, and we couldn’t be more pumped!
It looks like some of the players are kicking things into gear as well, particularly the ones who struggled mightily out of the gate at Surprise.
When it comes to deciding who will make the Opening Day cut, the next two weeks will be vital in that evaluation process.
Here are three Texas Rangers players who might be helping their own cause at just the right time!
Khris Davis
OF/DH Khris Davis might be hitting his way onto the Texas Rangers’ roster.
Talk about doing a complete 360!
Just a short while ago, we pegged Khris Davis as being one of the players most in danger of losing their roster spot with the Rangers after having a horrendous start to spring training.
Oh, how things change…
In Thursday night’s Cactus league victory vs. the Cincinnati Reds, “Khrush” homered twice in a four RBI night that amounted to his best spring game so far.
His second home run, a three-run blast, capped off a team comeback effort after falling behind early due to starter Mike Foltynewicz’ struggles.
Davis also homered in a “B” league game on Wednesday night, so it looks as if the veteran slugger is finding his groove past the midway point in spring training.
If that’s indeed the case, this late push could be enough to award Davis a roster spot come Opening Day.
