“Grant also lists the Rangers minor league award winners that were announced yesterday. Grant also lists 10 potential free agent targets for the Rangers offseason. Evan Grant says the Rangers are hoping for better from Howard next year. The Rangers play the penultimate game of their 2021 season tonight at 6:05, sending Jordan Lyles to the mound for probably his last start as a Ranger.”

“Cole Uvila allowed two runs in an inning of work. Jake Latz started and allowed two runs in four innings of work on a hit, four walks and six Ks. Sam Huff had a hit. Josh Jung is finishing the season very strong, as he drew a walk, was hit by a pitch, and homered — his ninth home run in AAA.”
“The Texas Rangers scored a healthy six runs but the Cleveland Guardians scored nine big ones. Things started out pretty good for the Rangers tonight as they scored two runs in the bottom of the second to take an early lead. Up Next: The penultimate contest of the 2021 season between these Rangers and those Clevelanders will feature RHP Jordan Lyles making his final start of the season for Texas against RHP Triston McKenzie for Cleveland. Pittsburgh owns the tiebreaker so the Rangers will need to finish one game worse to secure the higher pick.”
“Howard said he felt the game speed up at that point as he lost his mechanics, and it snowballed on him. It’s starting to really come along, so it’s just been kind of a grind to get that to transfer into games.” Woodward said that it’s hard to evaluate a season like Howard’s, when the Rangers have only worked with him since the Deadline and so much of it has been a delivery overhaul of sorts. “What we’re trying to do is just get me more grounded and use the ground better,” Howard said. “I think the biggest thing is a lot of our younger starters have had a really tough time of just righting the ship,” Woodward said.”
“While Harris has notably hit for average in his one previous Minor League season in 2019, he said the recent uptick in power has just been a product of getting strong in the weight room “The big highlight is just the team that we had in Frisco, and the team that I was just with in Round Rock,” Winn said. Snyder undoubtedly had the wildest Minor League season of all the Award winners, starting at Hickory and finishing the season with the big league club. “It’s been absolutely insane,” Snyder said. My personal highlight, I think, would be going to the [All-Star] Futures Game and getting the chance to go back home [to Colorado] and pitch in front of my friends and family, and in a stadium that was kind of familiar to me.” Snyder is the only one of the Award winners to have made it to Arlington this season.”
“Lanzillo would have been the first fan in Globe Life Field for the grand opening in 2020 if the pandemic did not prevent fans from attending games all last season. Lanzillo was a loyal Rangers fan and frequented both Arlington Stadium and The Ballpark at Arlington, though he was not able to attend any games at Globe Life Field since its opening during the 2020 pandemic-shortened season. She said Lanzillo always wanted Morgan to have one. “I would say he is one of the most, if not the most prominent Rangers fans ever.”
“17) RHP Nick Snyder (right shoulder fatigue) Expected return: 2022 Snyder was transferred from the 10-day IL to the 60-day IL on Sept. (Last updated: July 6) RHP Hunter Wood (right UCL sprain) Expected return: TBD Wood had been placed on the 10-day IL on May 25 after exiting the May 22 game against Houston with a right elbow issue. 19) LHP John King (shoulder inflammation) Expected return: Spring Training, 2022 King was transferred from the 10-day IL to the 60-day IL on Aug. 60-day IL RHP Matt Bush (right elbow inflammation) Expected return: 2022 Bush headed out on a rehab assignment on Sept.”
