MLB Roundup: Justin Foscue Wastes Little Time Producing For Texas Rangers

Former Mississippi State player Justin Foscue was recalled by the Texas Rangers last week and quickly made a case to stay with the major league squad.
He got his first major league hit in his third appearance, an RBI single against the Chicago Cubs, last Friday. On Saturday he hit his first major league home run of the 2026 season.

Foscue was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday after a glute strain sidelined second baseman Josh Smith. He may or may not remain with the Rangers once Smith returns from his injury, but if Foscue keeps playing like that, he just might.
Here's how the other former Bulldogs have fared in the MLB season so far.
