The Texas Rangers have solidified their opening day rotation, with Nathan Eovaldi confirmed as the starting pitcher for the second consecutive year. Eovaldi, who recently re-signed with the Rangers on a three-year deal worth $75 million, has a strong record as an opening day starter, boasting a 2.82 ERA over his previous starts. His performance will be key as the Rangers aim for a successful season.

Following Eovaldi, Jacob deGrom is expected to fill the No. 5 spot in the rotation, forming a formidable 1-2 punch alongside Eovaldi. DeGrom is set to make his spring debut soon, though weather conditions may delay his start. As the season approaches, the Rangers will be focusing on finalizing the remaining slots in their rotation.
