Jacob deGrom - Starting at back-end of rotation Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Monday that deGrom will begin the season at "the back end" of the rotation, Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact DeGrom is considered healthy, but the Rangers are simply allowing the two-time Cy Young winner ample time to build up after he missed most of the last two seasons while recovering from his second Tommy John surgery. The 36-year-old will make his Cactus League debut Friday against the Rockies and will be built up to five innings by his final spring outing.

David Buchanan - Spring debut on tap Buchanan (ankle) is scheduled to pitch in relief Monday in the Rangers' Cactus League game against the Royals, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Buchanan will be making his Cactus League debut, after he was delayed earlier in camp when he sprained his left ankle during one of the Rangers' first workouts of the spring. The 35-year-old right-hander worked primarily as a starter last season at the Triple-A level between stints in the Phillies and Reds organization, but a relief role likely represents his most realistic path to a spot on Texas' Opening Day roster. Buchanan is still viewed as a longshot to break camp with the big club and will most likely be ticketed for Triple-A Round Rock.

Sebastian Walcott - Reassigned to minors camp The Rangers reassigned Walcott to minor-league camp Monday.
Impact Walcott was one of a host of roster cuts for the Rangers. Slated to turn 19 later this month, Walcott made a great impression at the plate this spring during his few opportunities, going 4-for-8 with three doubles and a home run. He's one of the top prospects in all of baseball and is likely headed back to Double-A Frisco to begin the 2025 campaign.

Chris Martin - Makes spring debut Martin struck out one over a scoreless fourth inning in Sunday's spring game against the Diamondbacks.
Impact Martin, who missed time earlier in camp due to the flu, made his Cactus League debut Sunday. Setting down the side in order on 15 pitches (nine strikes), Martin has been mentioned as a top candidate for the team's closer role, although Texas manager Bruce Bochy said that he may not "have a defined closer," Jack Magruder of MLB.com reports. However the manager chooses to close out games, Martin is expected to be one of the trusted arms Bochy turns to in the ninth inning.

Wyatt Langford - Nearing return Langford (oblique) could make his Cactus League debut early this week, Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News reports.
Impact Langford resumed baseball activities last week after being diagnosed with a mild left oblique strain. He began light baseball activity last Wednesday and was in the Rangers' batting cages over the weekend.

Jon Gray - Makes second spring start Gray allowed four hits and struck out two over three scoreless innings in Sunday's spring start against Arizona.
Impact Gray worked around two hits in each of the first two innings before retiring the side in order in his final frame. The right-hander threw 40 pitches (29 for strikes). He also worked on mechanical issues during his second Cactus League start after experiencing a drop in velocity his first time out. As Gray described it to Shawn McFarland of the Dallas Morning News following Sunday's outing, he was standing "tall" on the mound, which means he kept his right leg straight instead of it buckling as he pushed forward to deliver the ball. Gray's fastball averaged 93.7 mph during his first start; it averaged 94.4 on Sunday.

Impact The veteran right-hander will be making his spring debut after a bout with the flu earlier in camp put him behind schedule compared to the club's other healthy bullpen options. Martin will likely need only a handful of tuneup outings during the Cactus League to prepare himself for the start of the season. He'll be a candidate to factor into the Rangers' unsettled closing picture after he turned in a 3.45 ERA, 1.13 WHIP and 50:3 K:BB in 44.1 innings with Boston in 2024.

Impact DeGrom threw 25 pitches (14 strikes) in his first live BP session of spring. One person on hand estimated he was throwing at about 80-90 percent. The 36-year-old deGrom is looking for his first full healthy season since 2020; he's made just 35 starts over the last four seasons. Despite what has been a deliberate pace in deGrom's ramp up, Bochy expects the pitcher to be ready when the regular season begins. He'll make his first spring start this coming Friday.

Jonah Heim - Logs two hits Saturday Heim went 2-for-2 with a run scored, threw out an attempted stolen base, and pickoff a runner at third base in Saturday's spring game against the Brewers.
Impact Heim had a strong game after fellow catcher Kyle Higashioka belted two home runs and drove in six Friday. The two backstops are expected to have a relatively even share, which could help Heim maintain a strong bat all season and avoid a second-half fade.

Kumar Rocker - Shelled again Rocker allowed four runs on four hits and two walks while striking out one over one inning in Saturday's spring start against the Cubs.
Impact This was Rocker's second Cactus League start and looked very much like his first, when the right-hander gave up four runs in an inning. The main difference in the two starts is that Rocker was pulled early in the first inning and once again an inning later Saturday. He entered camp in the mix for a rotation spot but owns a 36.00 ERA through two starts.
