The Texas Rangers are reeling after four straight losses, sliding below .500 as the trade deadline looms — and their ace pitchers, Jacob deGrom and Nathan Eovaldi, are struggling to deliver. DeGrom’s recent outing ended in disaster, lasting just 3⅓ innings while surrendering five runs, and he admits he’s failing to make key pitches despite a minor hip/glute issue. With playoff hopes still alive, the front office is eyeing a right-handed hitting outfielder and possibly another starter — though manager Skip Schumaker believes internal options exist. The team’s resilience is intact, but the inconsistency from their top arms could force big moves before the deadline. DeGrom knows he must bounce back fast — or risk being left behind.
