Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Vintage performance in third win
Rotowire
DeGrom (3-2) notched the win Sunday against the Cubs, allowing no runs on three hits and no walks in seven innings. He struck out 10.
On the heels of giving up a season-worst six runs in his last appearance versus the Yankees, deGrom bounced back in a big way with his longest outing of the season against the red-hot Cubs on Sunday. The 37-year-old right-hander delivered a vintage showing, generating a staggering 23 whiffs en route to matching a season high in punchouts. DeGrom will bring an outstanding 2.62 ERA, 0.92 WHIP and 57:8 K:BB over 44.2 innings into his next scheduled start versus the division-rival Astros next weekend.

Rangers' Evan Carter: Goes deep in win
Rotowire
Carter went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Sunday's 3-0 win over the Cubs.
Carter gave the Rangers breathing room with his eighth-inning homer, the second in five games and fifth of the season for the outfielder. All five of his homers have come against right-handers, as the left-handed batter has just one single in 23 at-bats when facing a lefty. If there's any fantasy value to be had from Carter, who's slashing .176/.308/.653, it's his six steals through 39 games.
Burger is out of the lineup for Sunday's game against the Cubs
It's the second consecutive game on the bench for Burger, who has a .130/.178/.188 slash line across his past 18 games. Justin Foscue is picking up a second straight start at first base after going 1-for-3 with a solo homer in Saturday's contest.

Rangers' Justin Foscue: Homers in win
Rotowire
Foscue started at first base and went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Cubs.
Foscue made a second consecutive start and swatted the first home run of his short MLB career. The infielder has just five hits over 58 at-bats across three short stints in the big leagues, but he's been given a clean slate by new Texas manager Skip Schumaker, per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. He got the nod at second base Friday and had an RBI single, and the keystone is an unsettled spot in the lineup given the struggles Josh Smith (lower body) has before he landed on the IL. Either Foscue or Ezequiel Duran, who started at second base Saturday, could take hold of the position.
Rangers' Josh Jung: Launches fifth homer of season
Rotowire
Jung went 3-for-4 with a solo home run and an additional run scored in Saturday's win over the Cubs.
Jung was one of three players who recorded multi-hit performances for the Rangers in this win, and the third baseman left his mark with a solo shot in the bottom of the second. This three-hit performance snapped a mini 0-for-12 slump for Jung, who preceded that downturn at the plate with a 13-game hitting streak. Jung is now hitting .319 with an .891 OPS, five homers, 20 RBI and 15 runs on the season.

Rangers' Jalen Beeks: Earns win in relief
Rotowire
Beeks (2-1) earned the win in relief Saturday against the Cubs after tossing 1.1 scoreless innings. He struck out one with no hits or walks allowed.
Jack Leiter tossed 4.2 scoreless innings but finished just one out short of securing the win, and Beeks was credited with it after finishing the fifth frame and pitching the sixth. Beeks, who improved to 2-1 with a 2.65 ERA, was sharp, needing just 13 pitches (nine strikes) to record four outs. This was a bounce-back effort for Beeks, as he allowed two runs in one-third of an inning against the Yankees in his previous outing last Thursday.

Rangers' Jack Leiter: Comes up short of win
Rotowire
Leiter tossed 4.2 scoreless innings but didn't factor into the decision Saturday against the Cubs. He allowed three hits and five walks while fanning six.
Leiter had some command issues Saturday, as the five walks were a season-worst mark for him, but he was able to keep Chicago off the board despite allowing eight baserunners. The free passes prevented him from pitching deep enough to qualify for the win, which would have been his first victory since his season debut. This solid outing reduced his ERA to 4.85 and WHIP to 1.41. Leiter is expected to make his next start on the road against the Astros.
Burger isn't in the lineup for Saturday's game versus the Cubs.
Burger will get a rare day off to regroup after going 2-for-19 with an RBI and a run scored over the Rangers' last five games. His absence will allow Justin Foscue to pick up a start at first base while batting ninth.

Rangers' Brandon Nimmo: Returns to field
Rotowire
Nimmo started in right field and went 0-for-3 in Friday's 7-1 loss to the Cubs.
Nimmo was back defending in the outfield after a hamstring issue cost him a couple of games and limited him to designated hitter in three others. He continues to be a bright light in the Rangers' lineup and is slashing .291/.373/.440 with four home runs, 12 RBI, one steal and 17 runs over 36 games, all as the team's leadoff batter.

Rangers' Kumar Rocker: Surrenders three runs in loss
Rotowire
Rocker (1-4) took the loss Friday against the Cubs, allowing three runs on four hits and three walks with three strikeouts across 3.2 innings.
Rocker again struggled, as he possesses below-average stuff with depressed velocity this season. In two starts this month, Rocker has surrendered eight runs on 11 hits, including two homers, and three walks with five strikeouts across 5.2 innings. Just two of Rocker's seven starts this season have qualified as quality outings. His ERA has swelled to 5.01 with a 27:13 K:BB across 32.1 innings. Rocker is lined up to face the Diamondbacks at home for his next start.
