Rangers Announcer Blasts ‘Itinerant’ Athletics Amid Controversial Relocation originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Both Major League Baseball and the club previously known as the Oakland Athletics envision that, at some point within the coming years, the A’s will officially play in Las Vegas.

The Texas Rangers have clawed back into the race and could flip their former All-Star outfielder for a more consistent bat at the deadline.

Jonah Heim hit a looping fly ball that dropped between two fielders in shallow left field, scoring Wyatt Langford from first base, and the Texas Rangers beat the Athletics 2-1 on Wednesday night for a sweep.

Langford used an electrifying display of baserunning to capitalize on the Athletics’ colossal mistake in the seventh inning.

HOUSTON — The Athletics have shut down pitcher José Leclerc and say the reliever will have right shoulder surgery. The A's Brian Schulman, the director of sports medicine and performance, said Friday that Dr. Keith Meister will perform the surgery in Dallas “in the upcoming weeks.”
