Morning, all!

Jeff Wilson observes that the Rangers would prefer to start someone else in Boston instead of Dallas Keuchel and Kohei Arihara, but there aren’t really any alternatives.

Nathaniel Lowe has been born again hard, or at least he’s become a force to be reckoned with at the plate. Levi Weaver looks at pitch and batted ball data to try to figure out what’s the difference between this year’s and previous years’ Lowe.

Bubba Thompson had a solo homer last night but followed up with a bunt in his next at-bat, showing that he’s not letting his first MLB homer make him forget what separates him from other players.
