Rangers limping into final week in first place with a pitching staff hanging by a thread

The Texas Rangers are limping into the final week in first place, but their pitching staff is stretched thin. Dallas lost 7-2 to the Toronto Blue Jays at Globe Life Field on Sunday, leaving the Rangers with a one-game lead over the Houston Astros in the AL West. Cal Quantrill is sidelined indefinitely, MacKenzie Gore is on the mend, and Jacob deGrom is dealing with lingering injuries and groin tightness. Nathan Eovaldi, Jordan Montgomery, Cody Bradford and Trevor Williams have all been used in flexible roles, while the bullpen has already logged 37 relief innings in the last six games. Rangers manager Skip Schumaker says the starting plan will be a daily conversation, with no starter named yet for the three games against the New York Mets this week.
