The Texas Rangers have clawed back into the race and could flip their former All-Star outfielder for a more consistent bat at the deadline.

The New York Rangers have signed veteran forward Conor Sheary to a professional tryout deal. The move, first reported by Mollie Walker of the New York Post, reunites him with new head coach Mike Sullivan, under whom he won two Stanley Cups with the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Jonah Heim hit a looping fly ball that dropped between two fielders in shallow left field, scoring Wyatt Langford from first base, and the Texas Rangers beat the Athletics 2-1 on Wednesday night for a sweep.

The Rangers have the second-worst record against left-handed pitching and are dead last in OBP, slugging and OPS against lefties.

Jacob deGrom struck out nine and allowed a leadoff homer in six solid innings, and Corey Seager, Marcus Semien and Adolis García homered as the Texas Rangers beat the Athletics 6-2.

Langford used an electrifying display of baserunning to capitalize on the Athletics’ colossal mistake in the seventh inning.

The Rangers also recalled outfielder Michael Helman and pitcher Cole Winn and sent infielder Justin Foscue and outfielder Alejandro Osuna back to the minors.
