New Texas Rangers Hats Pulled for Vulgarity While Entire Line Goes Viral for Questionable Designs
A new collection of Major League Baseball hats are under review after the version for the Texas Rangers unintentionally evoked a Spanish vulgarity.
In New Era's Overlap 5950 collection, sold by Fanatics — in which a team's cap logo is superimposed over its jersey logo — the Rangers hat featured its signature block 'T' over the 'x' in the word 'Texas.'
The unintentional result showed a Spanish slang word for breasts. The hat has since been removed from the website that sells the MLB licensed apparel, according to The Dallas Morning News.
A representative for MLB did not immediately respond to PEOPLE's request for comment.

Other hats in the collection also have fans scratching their heads.
The Arizona Diamondbacks iteration, which shows an 'A' over the word 'Arizona' effectively reads 'Ariana,' while the Houston team's new hat sports the word 'Ashos.'
Apparently, it's not the first time that New Era has unveiled a bad hat.

Last year, the Oakland Athletics version transferred the team's 'A's' into 'Ass.'
The new hats provoked plenty of jokes on social media.
In response to the new Boston Red Sox version, which reads 'Bobon,' one commenter on X posted a picture of beloved former NBA journeyman Boban Marjanović.
Another commenter had a field day with the collection, writing: 'Came for 'Anaels' and 'Tetas.' Stayed for 'Dedoit.''

Almost exactly a year ago, Fanatics came under fire for its revamped uniforms — designed by Nike and manufactured by Fanatics — which included see-through pants that players had a hard time getting behind.
'I know everyone hates them,' Philadelphia Phillies shortstop Trea Turner said at the time, according to the Associated Press. 'We all liked what we had. We understand business, but I think everyone wanted to keep it the same way, for the most part, with some tweaks here or there.'

Mets' Kodai Senga lands on 15-day injured list with low-grade hamstring strain
New York Mets right-hander Kodai Senga, the major league ERA leader, was diagnosed with a Grade 1 strain of his right hamstring Friday, hours after he was placed on the 15-day injured list. Manager Carlos Mendoza said after the Mets' 7-5 loss to the Tampa Bay Rays that Senga will be shut down for two weeks before being re-evaluated. "Talking to the trainers, they feel like we got some good news here," Mendoza said. Senga was injured covering first base on a grounder to Pete Alonso in the sixth inning of Thursday's win over the Washington Nationals. According to Mendoza, Senga said he felt his hamstring grab one stride before he made a leaping catch of Alonso's high throw to retire CJ Abrams. Senga is 7-3 with a 1.47 ERA for the Mets, whose starters have the lowest ERA in the bigs at 2.78 despite missing Sean Manaea (right oblique) and Frankie Montas (right lat), both of whom were injured in spring training. Paul Blackburn will replace Senga in the rotation next Wednesday against Atlanta. Blackburn made his third appearance of the season Friday and was charged with four runs in one-third of an inning in relief of Clay Holmes. "You hate to see it, especially talking about a guy like Senga with the way he's been throwing the baseball," Mendoza said before the game Friday. "But we also feel good with the pitching that we've got currently in place. They've been doing it the whole year and they will continue to do so. "But losing Senga obviously is a tough one here." The leg injury is the second in as many seasons for Senga, who strained his left calf in his only regular-season start last July 26. After missing the first 102 games because of a right shoulder strain, Senga gave up two runs in 5 1/3 innings against the Braves before he was injured sprinting off the mound to clear room for Alonso to catch a pop-up by Austin Riley. Senga returned to make three appearances, including two brief starts, in the playoffs. To replace Senga on the active roster, the Mets recalled reliever Max Kranick from Triple-A Syracuse. Kranick took the loss Friday after giving up two runs in 1 2/3 innings. The Mets are expected to get further rotation reinforcements soon with Montas and Manaea. President of baseball operations David Stearns said Friday that Montas was expected to make two more starts in the minors, though that was before he allowed eight runs in 1 2/3 innings for Triple-A Syracuse as his ERA during his rehab rose to 13.17. Manaea has a 6.23 ERA in his first two rehab starts for Single-A Brooklyn. "It's a good thing to have more major league quality starting pitchers than less," Stearns said. "I'm frankly never really concerned about having too much because as we saw (Thursday) and as I've experienced throughout my career, it's very, very rare where you actually get to the point where you have too many starting pitchers that you can roster." Stearns said outfielders Jose Siri (left tibia fracture) and Jesse Winker (right oblique) are still nowhere near returning. Siri, who fouled a ball off his shin against the Athletics on April 12, had his rehab paused this week after imaging showing his broken bone was healing slower than expected. Winker, who was injured May 4, is progressing but not close to beginning a rehab assignment. Stearns also said left-handed reliever Brooks Raley, who underwent Tommy John surgery and had bone spurs removed in May 2025, is throwing live batting practice and could begin a rehab assignment next week.

The Aaron Civale Trade Is A Win For The Brewers And The White Sox
Milwaukee Brewers' Aaron Civale pitches during the first inning of a baseball game against the ... More Atlanta Braves, Monday, June 9, 2025, in Milwaukee. (AP Photo/Aaron Gash) The Milwaukee Brewers pitching staff was like an overinflated balloon. They couldn't blow more air into it without letting some out. The escapee is Aaron Civale, who was dealt to the Chicago White Sox for Andrew Vaughn after requesting a trade. The Brewers were counting on Civale to be an innings eater in the middle of their rotation this season, but he strained his hamstring in his first start on March 30. He returned from the injured list in May and has made four more starts since then with mixed results. All told, he has a 4.91 ERA over 22 innings with five home runs allowed, and his 2.7 strikeouts-to-walks ratio is the lowest of his career. Milwaukee has benefited from good fortune with their starting pitching so far. Nearly all of them have ERAs that are better than their advanced metrics indicate they ought to be, and a case could be made that many of their best pitching options were in Triple-A rather than the major leagues. That started to change when they called up top prospect Jacob Misiorowski, who threw five no-hit innings against the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday in his MLB debut. Over a seven-year career, Civale has made 122 appearances—all as a starting pitcher—with a 4.06 ERA. On the day of Misiorowski's first outing—which happened to be Civale's 30th birthday—the veteran was informed he would be moved to the bullpen for the first time in his professional career. This led to him requesting a trade. Civale has an $8 million salary this season and will become a free agent at the end of the year. The White Sox are 23-47 so far, and they set a modern record with 121 losses last season, so their pitching options are significantly more sparse. It's safe to say he is in no danger of losing a rotation spot in Chicago. The White Sox are hardly considered buyers right now, so it's curious that they decided to add a veteran starter who is a pending free agent. Finances are not a factor. Vaughn is earning $5.85 million this year, and Milwaukee is including cash in the deal to offset the difference in salaries. It's possible that Chicago is not his final destination, and that he could be moving again before the trade deadline at the end of July. Vaughn is a right-handed-hitting first baseman and former vaunted prospect who hasn't lived up to expectations. The third overall pick in the 2019 draft was universally considered a top-25 prospect before the 2021 season. He produced a 101 OPS+ from 2021-2024, indicating his offense was just 1% above the league average—not nearly good enough for a defensively-limited player. The bottom fell out this year, as he was hitting only .189/.218/.314 before the White Sox demoted him on May 22. In 14 games with Triple-A Charlotte, he batted .211/.328/.351, which is hardly the kind of batting line that demands a call back up. The Brewers are sending him to their Triple-A affiliate in Nashville. Aaron Civale is now with the White Sox—at least for the time being—and it appears to be a satisfactory solution for everyone involved. He gets to stay in a major-league rotation, Vaughn gets a change of scenery, the Brewers get flexibility to let Misiorowski show what he can do, and Chicago gets an established starter and potential trade chip.
