Key injuries include SP Luis Medina and SP Gunnar Hoglund being sidelined.

They held the Tigers to just three runs in the series and have only given up nine runs in the last five games. Despite a loss on Sunday, the Rangers have an even record of 80-82 with 62 games left in the regular season. All-Star Jacob deGrom will take the mound on Tuesday night with a 9-2 record and an ERA of 2.32. The team will look to continue their winning streak and improve their standing in the league. Several key players are currently sidelined with injuries, including CF Sam Haggerty, RP Josh Sborz, SP Nathan Eovaldi, SP Jon Gray, and 1B Jake Burger.
