KANSAS CITY, Mo. — In 2023, the Rangers pulled Jacob deGrom out of a start at Kauffman Stadium in what was the start of the rocky path to his Tommy John surgery. Talk about flashbacks.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Texas Rangers are going to skip Jacob deGrom’s scheduled start this week because of shoulder fatigue, but the club said it is merely managing his workload and he is not expected to spend time on the injured list.

Under Trump, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service reversed its position on Biden-era protections for the lesser prairie chicken in Kansas and elsewhere.

The 2025 Rangers are a long way from the team that went 11-0 on the road en route to a World Series two years ago.

Royals first. Mike Yastrzemski homers to center field. Bobby Witt walks. Vinnie Pasquantino called out on strikes. Maikel Garcia called out on strikes. Adam Frazier strikes out swinging.

Ashland and Bucklin nearly missed the kickoff for the 2025 football season, if not for a few last-minute changes.

Still, the trio of Daniels, Foster, and Finkley will serve as the consistent captains of the locker room for the 2025 season. With the season opener just days away, Kansas has its leaders in place for what will hopefully be a bounce-back year for Leipold and the program.
