Texas Rangers Game Today (9/01/25): Preview, How to Watch & Live Stream

The Texas Rangers head to Arizona for a three-game series on Monday after sweeping the Athletics to start a six-game road trip.

The Rangers (71-67) have won eight of their last 10 games and they cannot afford to slow down if they hope to have any chance of getting back in the American League playoff picture. Texas is now 2.5 games behind the Seattle Mariners for the final Wild Card berth and 4.5 games behind the Houston Astros in the AL West Division race.

The Diamondbacks have little to play for at this point, but they could spoil the Rangers’ attempt to try and get back into the hunt. Texas cannot afford to lose more than one game of this series as they prepare to return home to host the Houston Astros on Friday in a three-game series that could turn Texas’ season one way or the other.

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

Monday’s Probable Pitchers

Rangers: LHP Patrick Corbin (7-9, 4.33)

Corbin had been struggling of late, but he bounced back in a big way in his most recent start last week against the Los Angeles Angels. He pitched eight near-flawless innings, giving up three hits and one walk against eight strikeouts. He didn’t allow a run, and the Rangers won the game. That boosted his numbers in the last seven games just a little bit — he is 1-2 with a 5.63 ERA with 29 strikeouts and 14 walks in 32 innings.

The left-hander will be making his 26th start of the season and enters the game with 109 strikeouts and 43 walks in 131 innings. Batters are hitting .268 against him and he has a 1.36 WHIP.

Diamondbacks: RHP Ryne Nelson (7-3, 3.53)

Nelson won his last start, which came against the Milwaukee Brewers last week. He threw six innings, giving up six hits, one earned run and no walks. He struck out three. In his last seven starts he is 1-1 with a 3.54 ERA with 39 strikeouts and six walks in 40.2 innings. He’s been a part-time starter this season. Monday will be his 29th game and his 19th start, and he has 108 strikeouts and 32 walks in 125 innings.
