Desmond Becomes 4th Player to Hit 20 Homers as Both SS and CF

Texas Rangers outfielder Ian Desmond hit his 20th home run of the season during Wednesday's 6-4 loss to the Oakland Athletics, becoming just the fourth player in major league history to record 20-homer campaigns as both a primary shortstop and center fielder, per MLB Stat of the Day (h/t MLB.com's Ryan Posner).

In a Wide-Open AL Cy Young Race, Why Not Cole Hamels?

Cole Hamels never really came close to winning a Cy Young Award when he was in the National League. He placed in the voting four times, but never higher than fifth. The competition was just too good.

So, maybe being in the American League and part of a race with too much competition is just the ticket he needs.

Prince Fielder Injury Update: Rangers 1B to Undergo Season-Ending Neck Surgery

Texas Rangers first baseman and designated hitter Prince Fielder will undergo a neck operation on Friday that will end his 2016 season.

Will Joey Gallo Finally Seize Opportunity to Showcase Freakish Power in MLB?

Joey Gallo is very good at hitting the ball over the fence. In fact, he did it Tuesday in his first game since the Texas Rangers recalled him.

Ian Desmond's Comeback All-Star Season Earning Back Big Bucks Lost in 2015

An underwhelming 2015 season left Texas Rangers star Ian Desmond in need of reinventing himself.

Like Apple on the brink of bankruptcy in the late 1990s or Taylor Swift transitioning from country singer to mainstream pop star, Desmond’s brand was due for a seismic change when he entered free agency this past offseason.

Prince Fielder's Return to Form Could Put Rangers over the Top as AL's Best

The Texas Rangers have the best record in the American League, and they've mostly done it without Prince Fielder.

Oh, sure, Fielder has been around, appearing in 72 of the Rangers' 76 games. But for much of that time, he hasn't resembled the lineup-anchoring power hitter Texas expects him to be.
