Texas Rangers Game Today (8/11/25): Preview, Lineup, How to Watch & Live Stream

The Texas Rangers are smarting from a four-game losing streak and hope to turn things around when they host the Arizona Diamondbacks for a three-game series at Globe Life Field that starts on Monday.

Little went right for the Rangers during their three-game series with the Philadelphia Phillies. Texas (60-59) was swept, the offense went cold and even Jacob deGrom’s start on Saturday didn’t go as hoped. Texas is now 5.5 games back in the AL West and 2.5 games out of the final AL Wild Card berth.

The Diamondbacks (57-61) helped out the Rangers at the trade deadline by dealing starting pitcher Merrill Kelly to Texas. Kelly and the Diamondbacks will get reacquainted on Wednesday when they face one another in the finale of the series. In the meantime, Arizona is coming into this series having swept the Colorado Rockies.

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

Thanks to a month-long stint on the injury list, Eovaldi doesn't yet qualify to be considered for the American League Cy Young. But it's coming, and he's going to be a contender. In his last seven games he is 6-0 with a 1.08 ERA, has struck out 38 and walked 10 in 41.2 innings.

He was named the American League pitcher of the month for July after going 5-0 in five starts. Dating back to his last 15 starts, he is 9-1 with a 1.04 ERA. For the season he has struck out 111 and walked 20 in 111 innings. Batters are hitting just .186 against him.
