Who Gets the Rangers' Two September Roster Spots?

With 25 games left and Texas two games back in both the AL West and Wild Card races, September expansion gives the Rangers only two extra roster spots. Austin works through the cases for Alejandro Osuna, Gavin Collyer, Emiliano Teodo, Dylan Dreiling, Sebastian Walcott and Cam Cauley, then makes the call: Osuna and Collyer are the most sensible Sept. 1 pair. Walcott and Dreiling supply the fun, aggressive alternatives, but playing time and immediate usefulness matter. Plus, updates on Josh Jung, Nathan Eovaldi and Jack Leiter, followed by a preview of the Athletics series and why two of three is the minimum before AL-best Tampa Bay comes to Arlington.
