The future of the Texas Rangers will be under the spotlight later this month as the club’s top minor leaguers take the field for the third-annual Spring Breakout.
Texas is scheduled to face the Kansas City Royals prospects on March 20 at Surprise Stadium, with first pitch slated for 3 p.m. CT.
Fans can follow the action across several platforms, including MLB.TV, MLB.com, the MLB App, Rangers Sportsnet, Amazon, and Gameday.
Key Names
The Rangers’ preliminary 40-man player pool was announced today anchored by many of the organization’s top 30 prospects. While top-ranked shortstop Sebastian Walcott (No. 7 on MLB’s Top 100) is listed on the preliminary squad, he is not going to participate in the game as he recovers from internal brace surgery.
Even without Walcott, the roster remains deep with talent. Keep an eye on right-hander Gavin Collyer and infielder Cam Cauley, both of whom have turned heads during spring training camp.
The pitching staff is headlined by high-ranking arms like Caden Scarborough, A.J. Russell, and David Davalillo while the position player group features Yolfran Castillo and Josh Owens.
The organizational depth was recently validated by FanGraphs, which included five Rangers in its updated Top 100 rankings: Walcott (30), Castillo (70), Scarborough (71), Davalillo (89), and Winston Santos (103).
The 2026 Spring Breakout rosters are being finalized in two phases. Following the submission of today’s 40-man pool, the Rangers will trim the list to a final active roster of 23 to 27 players on March 18.
Most of the players are listed in MLB Pipeline’s Top 30 Prospects list, supplemented by additional standout performers from the system.
