Rangers' playoff push in AL West

The Rangers are 62-64 after a 5-0 win over the Nationals on 8/19, snapping a losing streak. They remain 0.5 games out of a wild card. Cal Quantrill pitched 7 shutout innings and Justin Foscue homered. Jacob deGrom is targeting a Thursday start. Wyatt Langford remains in a slump but scored on a double play; he moves to DH on Wednesday. Manager Schumaker vows changes with 36 games left. The AL is historically awful, keeping hopes alive. The upcoming homestand against the Nationals continues. Wednesday's lineup: Pederson leadoff, Langford DH, Jansen day off. Roster moves: Freeman recalled, Gonzales selected (now DFA'd), Peoples optioned, Cauley optioned, Curvelo DFA'd (cleared waivers, remains in org), Junis activated, Jansen activated, Wynns DFA'd. Jordan Montgomery down for days. The Rangers' pathetic 6-17 road record against the AL West is a key failure. The wild card race is tight with seven teams within two games.
