Nathan Eovaldi’s return timeline is tightening as the Rangers race against time to get their ace back from elbow inflammation, echoing his 2021 comeback strategy when he pitched in MLB games instead of minor league rehab — a move that fueled their World Series run. Though he’s thrown 50 flat-ground pitches, no mound work yet, and with minor league teams shutting down, the team may need to fast-track him again, possibly alongside another pitcher, or risk missing the playoff push entirely.

Josh Jung is nearing a return from his calf strain, cleared for all baseball activities except full-speed running — the next big hurdle before a minor league rehab assignment. Manager Skip Schumaker is taking it slow, with Jung’s recent running session called a “good day” but not pushed too hard. He’ll likely hit live batting practice before heading to rehab, and if progress continues without setbacks, he could start as early as this weekend — a crucial move for a Rangers lineup that’s missed his bat while others stepped up at third base.

Justin Foscue’s baseball performance mysteriously spikes when college football rolls around—and he’s not just making excuses. Drafted high in 2020 and sidelined by injuries, the Texas Rangers outfielder has seized his moment, hitting 10 homers and playing nearly 80 games this season. His theory? Football isn’t distracting him—it’s resetting his mind. With Alabama and Mississippi State back on the gridiron, Foscue draws inspiration from Saban’s discipline, using the season as mental oxygen to stay grounded amid baseball’s relentless pressure. No magic swing fix here—just a smarter head, courtesy of touchdowns and tailgates.
