Rangers' Elias Diaz: Absent from Friday's lineup

Rangers' Cam Cauley: Swipes base in loss
Cauley entered Thursday's game as a pinch runner and stole a base in a 4-3 loss to the Mariners.
Cauley, who has a history of stealing bases in the minors, stole his first bag as a major-leaguer. He's served in a niche role since returning to the majors as part of the Rangers' roster expansion. This was his fifth appearance since the recall, four of which came as a pinch runner and once in a mop-up role during a blowout loss. He's yet to have a plate appearance this month.

Rangers' Evan Carter: Steals base, scores in loss
Carter went 0-for-2 with a walk, a stolen base, a run scored and was hit by a pitch in Thursday's 4-3 loss to Seattle.
Carter helped increase Texas' early lead to 3-0 in the fifth inning. After being hit by a pitch, Carter stole second base and advanced to third on an errant throw before scoring on a single. It was the 16th steal of the season for Carter. Speed has been his biggest contribution to fantasy squads, as Carter is batting .195 with a .616 OPS and 35 RBI through 127 games.

Rangers' Nathan Eovaldi: Throws in bullpen
Eovaldi (elbow) threw in the bullpen Thursday, MLB.com reports.
The report described the exercise as a "touch and feel bullpen session." If Eovaldi comes out of the session alright, the right-hander is expected to throw a second live BP session Friday in Arizona.

Rangers' Joc Pederson: Belts homer Thursday
Pederson went 1-for-3 with a two-run home run in a loss to the Mariners on Thursday.
Pederson opened the scoring in the contest with a two-run blast off Logan Gilbert in the third inning. That was his lone hit of the game, and Pederson has now gone 39 contests since his last multi-hit effort. Still, he's continued to provide power when in the lineup -- Pederson has gone just 15-for-88 (.170 batting average) during the aforementioned 39-game stretch, but seven of those hits have left the park. With 26 long balls overall on the campaign, Pederson has tied the second highest single-season mark of his career.

Rangers' Jacob deGrom: Dazzles with 12-strikeout performance
DeGrom allowed one hit and struck out 12 batters over six innings in a no-decision against Seattle on Thursday.
DeGrom was downright dominant from the outset, striking out eight of the first nine batters he faced. The veteran hurler racked up 20 whiffs and 12 punchouts overall on a modest 92 pitches. The Mariners put only one runner on base against him, and that came on an infield single in his sixth and final frame. When deGrom departed he was in line for the win, but the Rangers' bullpen let him down and couldn't hold a 3-0 lead. Still, this was a third straight impressive outing by the right-hander following an eight-run, 3.2-inning blowup against the White Sox on Aug. 25. During those subsequent three contests, deGrom has allowed only two runs across 19 frames while posting an incredible 27:1 K:BB. He'll look to keep rolling in his next start, which is slated to be a home tilt versus Boston.

Rangers' Elias Diaz: Exiting starting nine

Rangers' Cody Freeman: Not in lineup Thursday
Freeman is absent from the lineup for Thursday's game in Seattle.
After making 17 consecutive starts, Freeman has now been out of the Rangers' lineup for two of three games this series. Freeman is just 3-for-21 at the plate thus far in September. The Rangers will go with Ezequiel Duran at third base and Nicky Lopez at second base.

Rangers' Justin Foscue: Hit streak reaches seven games
Foscue started at second base and went 1-for-3 with a walk in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to Seattle.
The Rangers faced Mariners left-hander Kade Anderson, which meant Foscue picked up a start. It was the fifth southpaw faced in the club's last eight games, and Foscue has done well with his recent surge in plate appearances. His single Wednesday extended a hit streak to seven contests, during which he's gone 8-for-20 with two doubles, one home run and seven RBI. Foscue is batting .271 with an .838 OPS across a career-high 218 plate appearances.

Rangers' Jake Burger: Homers in loss
Burger went 1-for-3 with a walk and a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Mariners.
Burger got the scoring started with a second-inning homer. It was the 26th blast of the season for the first baseman, who extended an on-base streak to six contests. He's gone 6-for-18 with seven walks, three home runs, five RBI and eight runs scored during the streak.

Rangers' Corey Seager: Homers in third straight game
Seager went 2-for-4 with a solo home run in Wednesday's 3-2 loss to the Mariners.
Seager cut the Rangers' deficit to 3-2 in the eighth inning with an opposite-field shot off lefty Gabe Speier to extend his homer streak to three games. Seager has now hit safely in six straight contests, going 8-for-25 (.320) with four long balls in that span. He's slashing .230/.325/.435 through 366 plate appearances this season with 17 homers, 51 runs scored and 40 RBI.

Rangers' Cody Bradford: Falls to 0-5
Bradford (0-5) took the loss Wednesday against the Mariners, allowing three runs on four hits and two walks over four innings. He struck out one.
Bradford gave up a run on a Taylor Ward two-out single in the second inning before Seattle added two more on a Cole Young double in the fourth. Bradford has failed to make it through six frames in any of his last five starts. His ERA now sits at 4.72 through seven outings (34.1 innings) this season with a 1.57 WHIP and 17:9 K:BB. Bradford is still looking to get into the win column, and he is tentatively slated to make his next start on the road in Arizona.

Rangers' Wyatt Langford: Goes deep in win
Langford went 1-for-4 with a home run, two RBI, two runs scored and one steal in Tuesday's 10-5 win over the Mariners.
The 24-year-old ended a 12-game power drought Tuesday with his two-run homer during the fifth inning. Langford batted .179 (7-for-39) during the homerless stretch, but he still showed a good eye at the plate with a 13:7 BB:K. Through 401 plate appearances this season, he has a .245/.332/.442 slash line with 16 long balls, 12 steals, 38 RBI and 57 runs scored.

Rangers' Nicky Lopez: Makes first start in weeks
Lopez started at second base and went 3-for-3 with an RBI and a run scored in Tuesday's 10-5 win over Seattle.
Lopez made his first start since Aug. 19. At one point, he was the primary second baseman, but he's fallen into a part-time role since the middle of August. That dip in playing time coincides with an ineffective bat; Lopez entered Tuesday's contest with a .136/.197/.186 slash line over his 68 plate appearances.

Rangers' Danny Jansen: Smacks homer in win
Jansen went 2-for-4 with a home run and four RBI in Tuesday's 10-5 win over the Mariners.
Jansen helped put the game out of reach with a three-run homer in the fifth inning to extend Texas' lead to 9-3. Since returning from the injured list Aug. 18, the catcher is batting .206 with three home runs, one double and eight RBI over 12 games.
