Scouting Report
Updated May 19, 2026
Justin Foscue, the Rangers' 2020 first-round pick, has been given a fresh start by new manager Skip Schumaker after struggling in previous MLB stints. Called up in May 2026 following Josh Smith's glute injury, Foscue has shown signs of breaking through his long hitless streak. He hit his first career home run in a 6-0 win over the Cubs on May 9, 2026, and contributed meaningfully to the team's success. At Triple-A Round Rock, he has excelled with a .287/.407/.426 slash line, 2 home runs, and 14 RBI. The Rangers are positioning him to get regular at-bats at designated hitter (vs. LHP) and first base to give him a genuine opportunity to stick in the majors after previous unsuccessful stints.
