For the Texas Rangers, it’s all over but playing out the home stretch.

The Rangers (60-71) begin a three-game series against the Chicago White Sox (31-100), and while the White Sox have already been eliminated from postseason contention, the Rangers are closing in on it.

Texas is 10.5 games back of the Houston Astros in the American League West and in third place, behind the Seattle Mariners. The Rangers are also 12.5 games behind in the AL Wild Card race.

It’s a hole the Rangers seem destined to be unable to climb out of.

Texas has a TBA for its starting pitcher on Wednesday. That was supposed to be the spot for Max Scherzer. But he was unable to make his last rehab start at Double-A Frisco due to arm fatigue. It’s not clear who the Rangers will start. But recently, Texas general manager Chris Young said that the Rangers could call up Jack Leiter in a potential relief role.

It’s possible Texas could call Leiter up to join them to make that start. Leiter has done so twice this season and is coming off an exceptional outing at Triple-A Round Rock.

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