Game Thread: Rangers at White Sox
It looked like the White Sox were going to have a big pitching edge today, but that was before Jonathan Cannon got scratched because of lower back tightness and Bryse Wilson got the emergency starting assignment. Wilson hasn't pitched in 10 days, and last time out gave up seven earned runs in 5 1⁄3 against the Reds, raising his ERA to a nice, even 6.00. That may give a slight edge to Rangers starter Jack Leiter, who has problems of his own. The hard-throwing (97.1 mph average on his fastball) righty began the season with two solid starts, but then went on the IL with what must have been a really bad blister on the middle finger of his pitching hand, because he was out for 25 days. Advertisement Since being back, Leiter has had a very hard time finding the plate, with 15 walks in 26 innings across five starts. Opponents only bat a paltry .186 against him, but the control problems have led to a 4.25 ERA. The White Sox are middling in walks this year, a big improvement over the last decade or so (well, except for Lenyn Sosa), and two walks were key to the three-run inning that beat the Rangers last night. If they can remain patient, Leiter may give them enough freebies to score some runs. Leiter will face a Sox lineup that is the same as last night's except for Matt Thaiss taking over the catching duties. Wilson gets to take on a weak Texas lineup that has lost five in a row, not scoring more than three runs in a game since last Saturday. First pitch is scheduled for 3:10 p.m. Central, on a cool but pleasant 60°, partly cloudy with light wind from left to right. Usual broadcast suspects. Advertisement More from

Rangers call up Alejandro Osuna, put Joc Pederson on IL
May 25 - The Texas Rangers called up top outfield prospect Alejandro Osuna from Triple-A Round Rock to make his major league debut on Sunday afternoon against the host Chicago White Sox. Also Sunday, the Rangers placed designated hitter/first baseman Joc Pederson on the 10-day injured list and designated outfielder Kevin Pillar for assignment. Osuna, 22, was set to bat sixth in the lineup and play in left field against the White Sox. The Rangers' Minor League Player of the Year in 2024, Osuna has combined to bat .279 with two home runs and 15 RBIs over 39 games with Double-A Frisco and Triple-A Round Rock this season. He is listed by MLB Pipeline as the No. 7 overall prospect in the Rangers' system. Pederson, 33, sustained a fractured right hand in Texas' 10-5 loss to the White Sox on Saturday when he was hit by a pitch from Bryse Wilson in the fourth inning. He stayed in the game long enough to score on Marcus Semien's sacrifice fly, but Kyle Higashioka handled the designated hitter role the rest of the way. Signed to a two-year, $37 million deal in the offseason, Pederson is batting a career-low .131 with two homers and six RBIs in 46 games this season. Pillar, 36, hit .209 with no home runs and one RBI over 20 games with the Rangers this season. --Field Level Media

Texas Rangers place DH Joc Pederson on injured list with broken hand
CHICAGO (AP) — The Texas Rangers placed Joc Pederson on the 10-day injured list Sunday, a day after their designated hitter broke his right hand when he was hit by a pitch. The Rangers selected the contract of outfielder Alejandro Osuna from Triple-A Round Rock and designated outfielder Kevin Pillar for assignment to make room for Osuna on the 40-man roster. Leading off the fourth inning of Saturday's 10-5 loss to the Chicago White Sox, Pederson was hit by an 87.5 mph cutter from White Sox right-hander Bryse Wilson. Pederson went down right after he was hit, but stayed in the game and scored on Marcus Semien's sacrifice fly. The 33-year-old Pederson, who signed a $37 million, two-year contract with Texas in December, was replaced by a pinch hitter in the fifth. Pederson got hurt on the same day that star shortstop Corey Seager faced live pitching in another step in his recovery from a hamstring injury. The two-time World Series MVP could return to Texas' lineup as soon as next week. Osuna is in line to make his major league debut after hitting .259 in eight games with Round Rock. The 22-year-old from Mexico started the season at Double-A Frisco, where he hit .283 with two homers and 14 RBIs in 31 games. ___ AP MLB:
