Texas Rangers Rank as One of Biggest Surprises of 2024
When it comes to surprises, the Texas Rangers have been one of the biggest. And not in a good way.
The reigning World Series champions are mired in another rut and there are few signs, if any, that the Rangers can make a move with the season slowly slipping away.
Many of the issues for Texas can be tied to pitching and injuries, but the staggering lack of offense could be the main culprit in the season-long malaise.
MLB.com recently listed the 12 biggest surprises of the season, with the Rangers and Atlanta Braves checking in together for their “run-of-the-mill run production.”
The website pointed out that the Rangers went into the week ranked eighth in the American League in runs. Texas led the league last season.
The Rangers weren’t quite as prolific as the Braves last year, but they seemingly had more upside, with rookies Wyatt Langford and Evan Carter added to a club that scored 881 runs last year. Alas, those two didn’t pop as planned, Adolis Garcia has had his worst season since becoming a regular and Marcus Semien has not been as dynamic.

The Rangers (56-67) have only one extra-base hit in the first two games of the current series with the Minnesota Twins – Semien’s home run in Friday’s 4-3 loss. Overall, Texas has dropped five of six games, eight of 10, and nine of 12 to fall a season-high 11 games below .500 for the first time since the end of the 2022 campaign (68-94).

PORTLAND (WGME) – A Portland woman who has been held in a Texas ICE facility for more than six months is reportedly set to be released by Friday.
That’s according to Maine Congresswoman Chellie Pingree, who traveled to the facility this week to demand that ICE release 19-year-old Olivia Andre.
Pingree says a federal district court judge ordered Andre to be released no later than Friday.
Andre and her family were arrested by ICE when they were seeking asylum in Canada.
DHS previously said Andre is in the United States illegally but didn’t explain why the rest of her family was released and she wasn’t.
Pingree called the conditions at the facility inhumane, and Andre’s lawyer says her physical and mental wellbeing deteriorated from not having access to clean drinking water, palatable food and appropriate medical care.
“Olivia and her family should never have been detained. The federal court ordered her release because the Trump administration had no lawful basis for detaining her,” Pingree said. “She suffered in detention for six months in violation of federal law and the U.S. Constitution’s protections.”
The winning numbers in Tuesday evening’s drawing of the “Texas All or Nothing Night” game were:
