Wyatt Langford (forearm) said the plan is for him to be activated from the IL on Saturday. #Rangers want him to go get a rehab game somewhere Thursday, but potential weather issues in Round Rock and Corpus, where Frisco is playing, could send him to one of the Class A affiliates.
RHP Jacob deGrom has been scratched from Saturday's scheduled start in Philadelphia due to neck stiffness. LHP Jacob Latz will make today's start for Texas.
Probable pitching matchups for this weekend’s season-opening series at Philadelphia:
Thu. - RHP Nathan Eovaldi vs. LHP Christopher Sánchez
Sat. - RHP Jacob deGrom vs. RHP Aaron Nola
Sun. - LHP MacKenzie Gore vs. LHP Jesús Luzardo
Rangers transactions for Sunday:
-C Willie MacIver optioned to Round Rock (AAA)
-RHP Jose Corniell optioned to Frisco (AA)
-INF Jonah Bride, INF Cameron Cauley, and RHP Gavin Collyer reassigned to minor league camp
-RHP Alexis Díaz assigned outright to Round Rock (AAA)
