The Texas Rangers have finalized their roster and pitching assignment for the July 4, 2026 contest against the Detroit Tigers. The game is scheduled for a 3:05 p.m. Central start time at Globe Life Field in Arlington, which is located approximately 13 miles east of Fort Worth.

Cal Quantrill is set to take the mound for Texas, while the Tigers will counter with Jack Flaherty. The Rangers enter the contest as slight underdogs, with odds listed at +105.

This afternoon’s contest marks the second game of the series. The team returns to play following a scheduled day off on Friday. A notable change in the batting order is the return of Brandon Nimmo to the right field position. Nimmo had been sidelined for the previous four games due to a sprained acromioclavicular joint.

The full lineup for the Rangers is as follows:

  • Jake Polise: Designated Hitter
  • Nathaniel Lowe: First Base
  • Josh Jung: Third Base
  • Brandon Nimmo: Right Field
  • Leody Taveras: Left Field
  • Marcus Semien: Shortstop
  • Evan Carter: Center Field
  • Jonah Heim: Catcher
  • Josh Smith: Second Base

Jake Burger is not in the active lineup for this game and will receive the day off. No further details regarding bullpen usage or post-game schedules were provided.
