In this story:


The Texas Rangers have a chance to make the playoffs, and they hope not to waste any opportunities while in New York this weekend to face the Mets.

Saturday’s game, set for 3:10 p.m. central, will see the Rangers and Mets play for the second time in their three-game Interleague series. It comes a day after the return of Rangers starter Jacob deGrom to his former digs in New York. It was his first game at Citi Field as a visiting pitcher. He played for the Mets for nearly a decade.  

Saturday’s game is another matchup of a wily Rangers veteran pitcher against one of the Mets’ young starts that could be part of the franchise’s rotation for years to come.

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: LHP Patrick Corbin (7-9, 4.36)

Corbin probably wants to forget that game in the desert against the Arizona Diamondbacks on Sept. 1. He allowed five hits and five earned runs in 5.2 innings. He’s bookended great starts around that, including his last appearance against Houston on Sunday. He went 5.2 innings, as he allowed just three hits, one earned run and one walk against five strikeouts.

Even though his last seven starts don’t look great — 1-2 with a 6.34 ERA — he’s been a blessing to this rotation. Texas signed him right before the start of the season for less than $2 million and he’s taken the ball every fifth day, given Texas a solid outing and continues to give Texas a chance to win.

Mets: RHP Brandon Sporat (0-1, 4.50)

Sproat was the Mets’ second-round pick in 2023, and he quickly ascended to the Majors as he was promoted to make his MLB debut on Sunday against Cincinnati. He pitched six innings, giving up three hits and three earned runs. He walked four and struck out seven. Before his promotion he was 8-6 with a 4.24 ERA with Triple-A Syracuse, as he struck out 113 and 53 walks in 121 innings. He could be a shining star for this rotation for years to come. Right now, he’s still getting his feet wet.
