Rocker has shown promise in the minor leagues, striking out a total of 18 batters in two starts at Triple-A. Despite undergoing Tommy John surgery earlier this year, the Rangers are eager to see what he can do at the major league level before next season. In addition, two-time Cy Young Award winner Jacob deGrom and three-time Cy Young winner Max Scherzer will be returning to pitch for the Rangers this week. With a power ranking of 20 and a record of 70-75, the Rangers are currently seven games back from a wild-card spot. General manager Chris Young expressed excitement for the debut of Rocker and the return of their star pitchers.
