Foscue started at first base and went 1-for-3 with a solo home run in Saturday's 6-0 win over the Cubs.
Foscue made a second consecutive start and swatted the first home run of his short MLB career. The infielder has just five hits over 58 at-bats across three short stints in the big leagues, but he's been given a clean slate by new Texas manager Skip Schumaker, per Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. He got the nod at second base Friday and had an RBI single, and the keystone is an unsettled spot in the lineup given the struggles Josh Smith (lower body) has before he landed on the IL. Either Foscue or Ezequiel Duran, who started at second base Saturday, could take hold of the position.

Rangers' Justin Foscue: Makes first start
Rotowire
Foscue started at second base and went 0-for-1 in Thursday's 9-2 loss to the Yankees.
Foscue made his first start since being called up from Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday, but it wasn't a long day. After striking out in his first plate appearance, Foscue was pulled for a pinch hitter in the fifth. He's been a tease in the minors, putting up noteworthy numbers at the Triple-A level, but the production never followed him into the majors, where he's 3-for-52 across multiple stints. He could get some playing time while Josh Smith (glute) is on the 10-day injured list, but Ezequiel Duran is expected to get the bulk of the starts at the keystone while Smith his sidelined.

Rangers' Justin Foscue: Optioned to Triple-A
Rotowire
The Rangers optioned Foscue to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.
Foscue missed three weeks of action in spring training due to a strained right hamstring but progressed enough in his recovery to return to the lineup for Sunday's Cactus League game against the Dodgers, when he went 0-for-2 with one walk. He spent the vast majority of the 2025 season in Triple-A, where he slashed .261/.341/.474 with seven steals, 19 home runs and 68 RBI over 453 plate appearances. Foscue appeared in only four regular-season games for the Rangers last year, but he would be in line for a major-league call-up should Texas require more depth in the infield.

Rangers' Justin Foscue: Back in spring lineup
Rotowire
Foscue (hamstring) will serve as the Rangers' designated hitter and No. 7 batter in Sunday's Cactus League game against the Dodgers.
Foscue will check back into the Rangers' spring lineup for the first time since Feb. 23 after a strained right hamstring had kept him out of action for just under three weeks. The 27-year-old will still need to prove that the hamstring injury doesn't present any problems for him defensively in order to win a utility gig on the Rangers' Opening Day roster, but he could still find himself on the outside looking in for a spot. Foscue has a minor-league option remaining, so the Rangers could send him to Triple-A Round Rock to begin the season in order for him to receive everyday at-bats.

Rangers' Justin Foscue: Trying to increase versatility
Rotowire
Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said Thursday that Foscue will be given some reps in the outfield during spring training, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Foscue has played only in the infield both in college at Mississippi State and since entering pro ball, but increasing his versatility gives him a better chance to make the team in a reserve role.

The Rangers optioned Foscue to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.
