The Texas Rangers officially place one of their outfielders on the injured list ahead of Friday's game against the Detroit Tigers.

The Detroit Tigers announced that right-hander Keider Montero will take the mound Saturday night against the Texas Rangers, slotting into the rotation for a traditional start. Montero, 25, has been a valuable, if up-and-down, piece for Detroit this season.

The club will pay Eovaldi’s $100,000 All-Star incentive bonus as a reward for his first-half performance where he put up a 1.58 ERA in 91 innings.

The Texas Rangers hit the All-Star Break with a B-grade and a big question: Is this core still built to win? A crucial second half will shape the future in Arlington.

The Rangers did not have a hit in the first three innings of Tuesday night’s matchup with Angels starting pitcher José Soriano. They looked well on their way to yet another subpar offensive performance.

He is in the midst of a second straight down year at the plate. He slugged 97 home runs for Texas from 2021-23.

At first glance, the easiest category to spot an issue with for the Texas Rangers is their away record, where they are 21-30 overall, which is by far the worst in their division, the American League West.

According to ESPN's Jeff Passan, the Rangers paid the 35-year-old Eovaldi his $100,000 All-Star appearance bonus even though he was left off of the American League roster.

Demoting starting third baseman Josh Jung is Texas' latest attempt to wake up a lethargic bat. Why can't Texas seem to find solutions that don't involve major interventions?
