On the opposing side, Randy Arozarena of the Rays has not been far behind in terms of performance. The left fielder managed a .250 batting average and contributed significantly with an RBI in one of the previous games. His consistency at bat is notable with a .333 batting average across the last three outings, proving him to be a vital asset for Tampa Bay as they face off against Texas.


The Rangers also have Leody Taveras making waves with an outstanding .750 batting average from one game and maintaining a .417 average over his last three appearances. His on-field agility and hitting precision have made him another player to watch in this upcoming game.
