The Texas Rangers have added veteran left-hander Patrick Corbin on a one-year deal, reinforcing their rotation amid injury woes. Corbin, a two-time All-Star, has made at least 31 starts in every full season since 2017, showcasing durability despite a challenging tenure with the Washington Nationals. The Rangers placed Jon Gray on the 60-day injured list due to a broken wrist, while Cody Bradford also heads to the injured list with elbow soreness. With a strong return of pitchers like Nathan Eovaldi, Jacob deGrom, and Tyler Mahle, the Rangers look poised for spring training.

Corbin's experience could be pivotal as he logged substantial innings despite a rough last season, where he allowed the most hits and earned runs in Major League Baseball. Rangers' president Chris Young emphasized Corbin's competitive nature and fit within the team. After a promising start with the Nationals in 2019, Corbin's performance dipped significantly, but the Rangers see potential for a bounce-back.
