Scouting Report: MacKenzie Gore
Texas Rangers | SP
Overall
Summary
MacKenzie Gore, 27-year-old left-handed starter for the Texas Rangers, exited Monday's game against Colorado after one inning due to left lat/back muscle tightness. The injury occurred after diving to field a slow roller to third base. Gore had just delivered a career-best 8-inning performance against Arizona on May 12 (allowing 1 run on 3 hits, 5 K's, 1 BB), but struggled with command in his Colorado start, allowing 2 runs on 3 hits and 2 walks in 28 pitches. Rangers manager Skip Schumaker described the move as precautionary. Gore was expected to undergo imaging on Tuesday to determine severity. Season record: 3-4 with 4.78 ERA in 10 starts. Acquired from Washington Nationals in offseason trade.
