Rangers visit Guardians in clash of division leaders (7 p.m. ET, ESPN)
Left-hander Parker Messick will start for Cleveland coming off the best game of his career, a 7 2/3-inning, 10-strikeout performance on Tuesday in Chicago. Messick has burst onto the scene since debuting for Cleveland last year and posting a 2.72 ERA with seven starts in his debut season. With a 2.67 ERA and 101 strikeouts in his first 16 starts of 2026, the 25-year-old lefty is both a legitimate Rookie of the Year and Cy Young Award contender.
