Texas seemed like a bubble team that would ultimately become sellers by July 31, but ESPN’s Buster Olney reported that the Rangers will now be aggressive buyers at the trade deadline.

The Rangers activated designated hitter Joc Pederson off of the 60-day injured list before Sunday’s series finale vs. the Atlanta Braves at Globe Life Field. Pederson, 33, hasn’t played since his hand was broken by a Bryse Wilson pitch in a May 24 game against the Chicago White Sox.

A day later, Baltimore Orioles catcher Alex Jackson practically recreated the franchise's signature move. Aaron Rodgers feels supported and excited in this new chapter of his NFL career, and he says he would like to get know one of his bigger critics on a deeper level.
