, with eight Texas Rangers players being featured as part of the Surprise Saguaros roster.
The Rangers have five pitching prospects on the roster, and as is usually the case, they are primarily guys who missed significant time this summer due to injury. The five are:
Josh Stephan — 22 year old righthanded starter who was an undrafted free agent signed by the Rangers in 2020. Stephan put up a 4.94 ERA in 58 innings over 12 appearances for AA Frisco this year, but hasn’t pitched since early July due to back problems.
Marc Church — 23 year old righthanded reliever who was the Rangers’ 18th round draft pick in the 2019 MLB Draft, and who was added to the 40 man roster last winter.
