Kumar Rocker entered the 2025 season as an expected big part of the Texas Rangers' plans. Things didn't go anywhere close to the way people hoped despite some flashes of the pitcher the team thinks he can be.
Things were, in fact, so bad at one point that the club decided it needed to put a pause on the season. However, things are moving forward again and Rocker is going back on the mound later today.
The Texas Rangers decided to make sure he got some things sorted out mechanically. They realized that his career was going to hit a real wall if they didn't get it sorted.
