The Texas Rangers head back on the road for a 10-game, 10-day trip that starts with a three-game series with the Kansas City Royals.   

The Rangers (17-15) wrapped up their homestand with a 5-4 record, winning series with both the Cincinnati Reds and the Washington Nationals. That gives the Rangers a little bit of momentum as they hit the road.

Texas will be tracking starting pitcher Nathan Eovaldi, who tweaked his groin during Thursday’s start. The Rangers are hopeful he won’t miss his turn in the rotation.  

The Rangers have not faced Kansas City (19-13) yet this season, but the Royals are off to a terrific start after an offseason in which they remade their starting rotation and signed shortstop Bobby Witt Jr. to a long-term extension.

The Royals’ American League Central Division features four teams that are within three games of the division lead, paced by the Cleveland Guardians, who have at times had the best record in baseball.

Here is the preview for the game, with probable pitchers, how to watch, listen and more.
