For anyone looking at the American League West Standings right now, seeing four of five teams with below .500 records is pretty interesting.

The Texas Rangers are 20-22 entering play on Wednesday, May 13, 2026.

The Rangers are 1 1/2 games behind the division-leading Athletics, sitting in third place in the AL West. Imagine looking up and seeing the Athletics in first place while the Seattle Mariners are hot on their tail.

Manager Skip Schumaker has been working hard to get the ballclub back on track to postseason success.

It's still early, but being in the hunt for a division title at all has to make him and his players feel pretty good.
