Rangers-Twins Game Today (9/23/25): Preview, How to Watch, Live Stream

It’s basically over for the Texas Rangers as they prepare to host the Minnesota Twins in their final homestand of the 2025 season.

The Rangers (79-77) have lost seven straight games and could be eliminated from the playoffs as soon as Tuesday. Texas’ focus is on trying to avoid a second straight losing season since winning the 2023 World Series. The Twins (67-89) have already been eliminated and are heading toward a cold offseason up in the Twin Cities.

Here is the entire preview for the game, with probable pitchers, how to watch and listen, injury updates and more.

Tuesday’s Probable Pitchers

Rangers: LHP Patrick Corbin (7-10, 4.33)

This could be his last start with the Rangers. He is a free agent after the season and while Texas might like to have him back, the Rangers aren’t going to get him on the sweetheart deal he signed just before spring training (less than $2 million). Technically, he would get the ball in Sunday’s finale, but Texas could choose to skip him. The Rangers skipped Corbin in the rotation on Friday, and he pitched an inning of relief, taking the loss after allowing three hits and two earned runs in one inning.

Marlins: RHP Zebby Matthews (4-6, 5.97)

The second-year pro has already pitched 15 starts and set career bests across the board, including his ERA, which is down nearly a point from his nine starts last season (6.69). He’s lost his last two games, including a three-inning start against the New York Yankees in which he allowed 11 hits and nine earned runs. He is 1-3 with a 6.88 ERA in his last seven games. Batters are hitting .304 against him. There’s an opening for a clunky Rangers offense to make some noise.
