Rangers-Astros Game Today (9/06/25): Preview, How to Watch, Live Stream

The Texas Rangers will continue their critical three-game series with the Houston Astros on Saturday night at Globe Life Field.

Texas will, again, be short-handed. Before Friday’s game, the Rangers moved outfielder Adolis Garcia — who hits well against Houston — to the 10-day injured list with a quad strain and selected the contract of Dustin Harris. To make room, Texas moved pitcher Jon Gray to the 60-day injured list ending his season. Shortstop Corey Seager was in the clubhouse for the first time since his emergency appendectomy, but he hasn’t started baseball activities yet.

In other words, these Rangers — the ones on the field — are going to have to be the ones to help them rally in the postseason. Here is the entire preview for the game, with probable pitchers, how to watch and listen, injury updates and more.

Saturday’s Probable Pitchers

Rangers: RHP Jacob deGrom (11-6, 2.69)

deGrom may not win a Cy Young, but he’s looked like himself most of the season. Entering the contest, he has 161 strikeouts and 33 walks in 150.1 innings and batters are hitting just .194 against him. But it doesn’t mean there haven’t been bumps, especially since the All-Star Game. In his last seven starts he is 2-4 with a 3.79 ERA, including 48 strikeouts and nine walks in 38 innings. Texas is monitoring his workload. He’s pitched just five innings in each of his last three starts. He’s also allowed at least one home run in seven of his last 10 starts.

Astros: RHP Hunter Brown (10-7, 2.34)

Brown may be the opening-day starter next season if Houston is unable to retain Framber Valdez, who will be a free agent after the season. In his last seven starts he is just 1-3, but he’s pitched great. He has a 1.69 ERA and has struck out 38 hitters against 13 walks in 42.2 innings. But he’s lost his last two starts, even as he’s pitched at least six innings in each start. Run support has been the issue of late, as Houston’s offense has been spotty. Batters are hitting just .189 against Brown this season. Like deGrom, he may not win a Cy Young this year but he’ll be a candidate to watch for the future.
