Just two weeks from Thursday, the Texas Rangers will be in the City of Brotherly Love to take on the Philadelphia Phillies on Opening Day.

However, until then, Spring Training will roll on, and on Monday afternoon, the Rangers traveled to Peoria, Arizona, to take on the San Diego Padres.

Texas used some early offense to claim a 4-1 victory for their ninth Cactus League win of Spring Training.

Andrew McCutchen made his Cactus League debut after signing a minor-league contract with the Rangers on Friday.

It didn’t take long for McCutchen to make his impact as he ripped an RBI-double to left field in the fifth.

Brandon Nimmo had the other big swing of the day as he laced an RBI triple to bring home the Rangers' second run of the day.

Nimmo led off and played right field, both of which he will do regularly during the regular season, according to manager Skip Schumaker.

Joc Pederson got yet another start at first base. He hit third and drew a walk in three plate appearances.

A few other regulars got a start for the Rangers. Evan Carter played the entire game in center field, drawing a walk.

Sam Haggerty played second base and Ezequiel Duran played shortstop talling a base hit in four at-bats.

Mark Canha had yet another solid day in left field, recording a hit as well as a run scored. He is now batting .318 this Spring.

It wasn’t a super eventful day on the mound for the Rangers, but there were certinally some notable performances.

Tyler Alexander put forth yet another strong outing, going 1 2/3 no-hit innings while walking two and striking out one.

Carter Baumler continued to impress, going two innings, allowing just one unearned run as he continues his strong Spring.

Josh Sborz continued his push for an Opening Day roster spot as he fired yet another clean inning of work.

Peyton Gray once again delivered a perfect frame with two strikeouts as his inspirational Spring Training story continued.

The Rangers will be back in action on Tuesday when they welcome the Chicago Cubs to Surprise Staduim. Jacob deGrom will be on the mound.

Following Tuesday’s game, the Rangers will have fewer than 10 Spring Training games left in Arizona before they take on the Kansas City Royals in a two-game set at Globe Life Field.

Until then, several key questions will have to be answered before the Rangers kick off the 2026 season.
