Kennedi Landry writes that 2023 World Series hero Eovaldi will be making his sixth career Opening Day start and will become the first starter to make three Opening Day starts in a row for Texas since Kevin Millwood started four consecutive openers a couple of decades ago.
Grant has a few observations from camp from yesterday where Marc Church made his spring debut and the bullpen battles continued.
Jeff Wilson writes that prospect Cam Cauley put himself on a trajectory to eventually contribute to the big league team with a head-turning spring.
Grant notes that despite his impressive spring, Cauley was among the players who were cut from big league camp yesterday.

In her weekly newsletter, Landry writes about how the late-spring signing of Jalen Beeks could impact how the Rangers construct their pitching staff.
Grant writes that the Rangers were needing to see something quickly from Andrew McCutchen, and the veteran former MVP has already delivered in his short time in Surprise.
As a standout for the Rangers this spring, Jim Bowden writes that Evan Carter could be due for a breakout year for Texas.
Landry tabs Rule 5 reliever Carter Baumler as a young player who has made a big impression for the Rangers so far this spring.
And, McFarland names 2025 prized international signee Elorky Rodriguez as the Rangers’ No. 9 prospect on the DMN’s top 30 list.
Have a nice day!
