The Texas Rangers are back home in Surprise, Arizona today and they will welcome the San Diego Padres to Surprise Stadium for a seven-inning affair. Texas will send LHP prospect Joe Palumbo to the mound for his first spring action with pitchers Josh Sborz, Wes Benjamin, Sam Gaviglio, Jake Latz, and Spencer Patton all scheduled to see action. The Padres — everyone’s favorite bandwagon team of 2021 — will counter with possibly the No.

Ronald Guzman’s 23 starts were the most, but the elite 6-foot-5 defender with potential for big pop in his bat was inconsistent at the plate for the third year in a row. Texas got the 25-year-old Lowe, who has appeared in only 71 big league games the past two seasons, in a six-player trade of prospects.
