Keuchel is a low-risk addition who could potentially reap high rewards in case the Rangers need to call upon more options for their bullpen.Under Par@DavidFCarty@MLBONFOX @Rangers @Evan_P_Grant @kidkeuchy I could very easily see him making a strong comeback.

They have now lost seven of their last 10 outings, including a 4-3 loss to the Seattle Mariners earlier today.While the Rangers still have a small window of opportunity to make it to the postseason, those chances are slowly but surely fading with each passing week.
