Jacob deGron must set the tone with a gem tonight!

As the Texas Rangers get ready to take the field against the Washington Nationals at Globe Life Field in Arlington, Texas, they are in good shape to get back into first place in the American League West Division.

The division-leading Houston Astros have lost three straight games and are in danger of losing a fourth straight. The Astros host the Los Angeles Angels at Daikin Park in Houston on Wednesday night.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Jacob deGrom was removed from Thursday night's game against the Los Angeles Angels due to right triceps fatigue.

In his two innings of work, deGrom gave up six hits, two earned runs, walked one, and struck out three.

Look who's back, Texas Rangers fans? That's right, it's Jarred Kelenic.

Kelenic was called up from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday as part of a few moves the Rangers made to their 40-man roster.

Right now, the Los Angeles Angels are ripe for the picking and the Texas Rangers should be able to get past this disastrous franchise.

How bad is it in Angels land? The team fired pitching coach Mike Maddux, who was in his first season with the ballclub after successful years with the Rangers. 

If you are a Texas Rangers fan, then you probably know that the ballclub has not been too proficient in the win column lately.

How have the Rangers been doing over the past 10 games? Let's take a look. Ah, here it is. Texas has gone 3-7 while the Houston Astros, who now lead the American League West Division, have gone 8-2.

While the Texas Rangers lost the Silver Boot Series this season against the Houston Astros on Friday night, they were looking to rebound at Daikin Park on Saturday night.

Unfortunately, that did not happen.

Three days ago, outfielder Jarred Kelenic was released by the Texas Rangers. On Wednesday, though, Texas brought back Kelenic into the organization.

Kelenic and the Rangers are now back together after the team re-signed him to a minor-league deal with the ballclub. With that in mind, Kelenic will now go play for the Triple-A Round Rock Express.

The Tampa Bay Rays were trying to get a win over the Texas Rangers at Tropicana Field in St. Petersburg, Fla. In the bottom of the fourth inning on Wednesday night, the Rays were shutting out the Rangers 3-0.

Texas came into the game with a 55-52 record and in first place in the American League West Division, Meanwhile, Tampa Bay stood 62-44 and sits in first place in the AL East,
