The Texas Rangers plan to add top pitching prospect Kumar Rocker to their roster this week, expecting him to make his big league debut Thursday night in Seattle.
Since July 5, Rocker has shown impressive performance with a 1.96 ERA in 10 games, striking out 18 batters over 10 innings in his final two rehab starts.
Rocker, a top 10 draft pick in two consecutive years, underwent Tommy John surgery in May 2023 but has returned successfully to the mound.
The Rangers drafted Rocker after concerns over a physical caused him to go unsigned by the Mets in 2021; he now looks to make a strong MLB debut.
