ARLINGTON, Texas -- The Texas Rangers plan to add top pitching prospect Kumar Rocker to their roster this week and expect the 6-foot-5 right-hander to make his big league debut Thursday night in Seattle.

Rocker's pending promotion was revealed by the team Monday, an off day before a two-game World Series rematch at Arizona. Texas (70-74) then opens a four-game series against the Mariners.

The 24-year-old Rocker has a 1.96 ERA in 10 games for three different Rangers affiliates since July 5 after coming back from Tommy John surgery in May 2023.
