| 7/12/25 | Texas Rangers opt for cautious approach with Jake Burger as All-Star Break nears. Jake Burger thought he could play Saturday. The Rangers felt a little more caution was wise. Burger tweaked his left quadriceps on an at-bat Friday and left the game an inning later, but indicated he expected to play Saturday. The Rangers considered the long, overnight travel from Southern California, the lack of sleep and potential travel-related dehydration and opted to give him an extra day of rest.

| 7/11/25 | Struggling Rangers Slugger Opens Up About Rough Season at the Plate. Lack of production at the plate has become the unfortunate norm for the Texas Rangers in the 2025 season, with just about everybody in the clubhouse struggling to find any sort of consistency with the bat in their hands. One guy in particular who has struggled more than most has been the team's newest slugger in Jake Burger, who the Rangers acquired via trade from the Miami Marlins last winter. Texas made the move for Burger in hopes that he could provide some much-needed pop to their lineup, but the move has, unfortunately, borne little fruit as of yet.

Coming into the 2025 MLB regular season, the Texas Rangers were highly regarded by analysts and fans alike.

| 6/24/25 | Texas Rangers Can Feel Good About This One Thing Nearing Midway Point of Season. The 2025 MLB regular season has not gone according to plan for the Texas Rangers. This offseason, the team made a lot of moves looking to get back into contention in the American League. Many predicted them to be the favorites in the AL West after they added some real power to their lineup, trading for first baseman Jake Burger from the Miami Marlins and signing Joc Pederson to take over as their designated hitter. Adding those two, along with catcher Kyle Higashioka, to a lineup that already had Marcus Semien, Corey Seager, Adolis Garcia, Wyatt Langford, Jonah Heim, Josh Jung and Josh Smith gave the Rangers what many people thought was the best lineup 1-through-9 in baseball.

| 6/20/25 | Rangers' Offense Hits New Low As Team Does This for First Time Since 2023. The theme for this Texas Rangers team throughout the year has been their lackluster offense. Keeping their stars healthy, getting progression from their key youngsters and even adding the likes of Jake Burger and Joc Pederson caused many analysts to predict the Rangers would win the AL West and be one of the World Series contenders coming out of the American League. What was disappointing during their series against the Kansas City Royals is that their offense was a no-show once again, turning in measly performances that caused them to be outscored 16-5 during the three-game set.

| 6/18/25 | Rangers Named Fit for Braves Star Slugger Who Would Fix Their Offense. The Texas Rangers have had an odd first two and a half months of their 2025 season. A team that had high hopes and expectations for its lineup has seen its offense mired in what can't be deemed a slump anymore since they rank 26th in all of MLB with a team wRC+ of 84. On the other hand, a pitching staff that had a great deal of question marks, especially in terms of health, has both managed to stay reasonably healthy and performed well, posting the second-best ERA in baseball at 3.19. It's kind of unthinkable given the fact that two of the team's biggest offseason moves were to acquire Jake Burger and Joc Pederson, but designated hitter has been a particularly ugly spot for the Rangers.

In search of some power, first baseman Jake Burger was acquired from the Miami Marlins and designated hitter Joc Pederson was signed in free agency. The Rangers looked to have the deepest lineup in baseball, set to score runs with regularity to help balance out a pitching staff that had a lot of question marks. It wasn't so much a concern about the talent on the pitching staff, but whether they would be able to stay healthy. Source: https://www.si.com/mlb/rangers/news/rangers-remain... |

| 6/13/25 | The Texas Rangers' offense is all of a sudden mashing. How did they rejoin the Slug Club?. So, how exactly have the Rangers rejoined the Slug Club? Well, everybody knows the first rule of Slug Club is to not talk about Slug Club. The Rangers - and those around them - spent so much time talking about slugging before this season began that when it finally started and everybody geared themselves up to try to slug, they did themselves dirty. “I think there's a lot of merit to that,” first baseman Jake Burger said Friday.

The Texas Rangers did a lot of work this offseason to revamp their roster with the hopes of returning to prominence in 2025. First baseman Jake Burger and designated hitter Joc Pederson have not had the kind of impact the team was hoping for as players who would add power to the lineup. More often than not, they have responded, led by starting pitchers Nathan Eovaldi, Jacob deGrom and Tyler Mahle, who all have a strong case of being the team' MVP thus far this season.

| 5/28/25 | Rangers Talented Youngster Has Been Team MVP in Lineup So Far. The struggles of the Texas Rangers this season have continued with their lineup simply not getting the job done. Coming into the year, the Rangers looked like they would have one of the best lineups in baseball in 2025. Over the winter, they added two talented hitters Jake Burger and Joc Pederson.
