What to expect in these final few Rangers’ games
First, this will be a great time to see the mostly everyday lineup heading into the regular season.
Already solidified by Skip Schumaker the top four will look like this for the most part: Brandon Nimmo, Wyatt Langford, Corey Seager and Jake Burger. Other fixtures will be Josh Jung, Josh Smith, Kyle Higashioka, Danny Jansen and Evan Carter.
These games also have a lot riding on it in terms of some player’s futures with the organization.
Veteran Andrew McCutchen, who signed on March 6, has made an undeniable impression hitting 7-for-17 (.583) with three doubles, four RBIs and five walks in just five games this spring. He goes head-to-head with Joc Pederson for main reps as the team’s DH.
Other tight position battles is the second base job (frontrunner Smith), the final bench role between Tyler Wade and Mark Canha and the fifth rotation spot among Jacob Latz, Kumar Rocker, Austin Gomber and Cal Quantrill.
