Rangers lefty Cole Hamels is going to be out a while. Here are my thoughts for fantasy owners
Big blow for the Rangers, with Cole Hamels now out eight weeks with an oblique strain. Given the slow start and some other issues -- the bullpen, Rougned Odor looking lost at the plate, Mike Napoli looking old, Adrian Beltre still out -- it's starting to look like one of those seasons for the Rangers. Of course, the Rangers started slow in 2015 and won the division, but don't be surprised if Yu Darvish ends up on the trade market in July.

Marwin Gonzalez hit two home runs, including a go-ahead grand slam in the eighth inning that rallied the Houston Astros over the Texas Rangers 8-7 Tuesday night.
Have a night, Marwin Gonzalez! The utility player hit a grand slam -- his second homer of the night and seventh of the season -- to give the Astros a 7-5 lead in the eighth in a game they once trailed 5-0. The Texas bullpen continues to flounder with Keone Kela tonight's victim. What happened to the Rangers knowing how to win the close games?
One thing for sure: Joey Gallo has earned a spot in the Rangers lineup, even when Adrian Beltre eventually returns. He hit his eighth home run -- and the Rangers' second of the game off Mike Fiers, who leads the AL with 10 HRs allowed -- and if he can cut his K rate from 35 percent to the upper 20s, 40 home runs is a possibility.
Rangers ace Cole Hamels was scratched from Tuesday's start due to tightness in his right oblique.
