Texas Rangers lineup for April 14, 2026 against the A’s: starting pitchers are MacKenzie Gore for the Rangers and Jeffrey Springs for the A’s.
MacKenzie Gore looks to continue his early success against the A’s this evening. With former Ranger great Jeffrey Springs, a southpaw, on the mound, we have an odd looking lineup, though one that does feature Wyatt Langford, who is back in the lineup after missing the past three games with a quad issue. Langford is at DH, though, and looking at the outfield, I hope Gore generates a lot of ground balls.
The lineup:
Nimmo — RF
Langford — DH
Seager — SS
Burger — 1B
Haggerty — CF
Jung — 3B
McCutchen — LF
Jansen — C
Duran — 2B
8:40 p.m. Central start time. Rangers are -135 favorites.
