Injury Report
Brock Burke (torn/frayed labrum in left shoulder)
Burke had successful arthroscopic shoulder surgery last week in Arlington. He will miss entire 2020 season. READ MORE on Brock Burke's injury.
Jose Trevino (right index finger - hairline fracture)
The team announced that after further evaluation, Jose Trevino's finger has a hairline fracture after getting hit with a foul tip in a game against Cincinnati earlier this spring. He will be re-evaluated on March 16th to see how much longer he will be out. His original prognosis was two weeks.
Joe Palumbo (right heel inflammation)
LHP Joe Palumbo was scratched from Thursday's game in Mesa against the Cubs, where he was scheduled to start. It's believed to be from new shoes he was wearing, but they're just being cautious with him.
Juan Nicasio (back tightness)
His back tightened up on him while warming up in Monday's game against the Giants. There is no timetable currently for him.
Rangers Notes
- Minus Danny Santana and maybe Ronald Guzman, today's lineup could be a good glimpse at what the Rangers' lineup could look like on Opening Day in Seattle. Chris Woodward has already confirmed that Choo, Andrus, and Gallo are the planned top-third of the lineup to start the season, in that order.
- The Rangers have stilled not announced an Opening Day starter yet, so we could potentially be seeing the Rangers' starter on Opening Day as well. Kluber is making his second start of the spring. His first start went pretty well, especially with how he danced out of a jam in the first inning. Most importantly, his stuff and velocity looked good, so that's what we should keep an eye on tonight.
- Rangers individual game tickets are now on sale. For more information, we've got you covered here.
