The Texas Rangers face the Kansas City Royals in the second game of a 4-game set at Kauffman Stadium in Kansas City Tuesday.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Their season already wobbling precariously on the precipice, the Rangers began a do-or-die week Monday. They began it with Josh Jung on the bench. For a second straight day. There is no lingering injury.

The Royals took the series opener, 4-3 to stay hot with four consecutive wins and a 6-1 record over the past seven games. On the other hand, the Rangers have struggled with a 1-5 record in the last six games and 2-9 record in the past 11.

The Texas Rangers could look to make a big trade in the offseason, and slugger Adolis Garcia is the main name who could be dealt.

The Texas Rangers finished a six-game week against the Arizona Diamondbacks and the Toronto Blue Jays with a 2-4 record, three late-game meltdowns, two position players injured and one big bad blowout loss.
