MacKenzie Gore "Trending" Toward Making his Next Start on Sunday
Imaging on Texas Rangers left-hander MacKenzie Gore's lat came back clean, and he's "trending" toward making his next scheduled start on Sunday in Anaheim against the division-rival Los Angeles Angels, according to Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News. The 27-year-old southpaw was pulled after just one inning in his latest start on Monday versus the Colorado Rockies when his lat tightened up on him, but it looks like he has avoided anything serious, and he shouldn't have to miss a turn through Texas' starting rotation. The bad news is that Gore has had a rough go of it in his first year with the Rangers, giving up two more earned runs on Monday. He is sporting a 3-4 record with a 4.78 ERA (3.99 FIP), 1.33 WHIP, and 55:24 K:BB in 49 innings across his first 10 starts in 2026. Gore will be a riskier fantasy option this weekend in Anaheim, but it will be hard to ignore him in starting lineups because of the matchup. The Angels were nearly no-hit by A's starter J.T. Ginn a few days ago, and they currently rank 25th in baseball with a .686 OPS. The Angels also lead the league with 476 strikeouts.
