Injury Updates & Team News
El Paso placed left-hander Fernando Sanchez on the 60-day injured list earlier this month after a brief 7-day stint. The Chihuahuas have activated several arms recently, including Ty Adcock, giving manager Pete Zamora more bullpen depth.
Round Rock has dealt with its own absences. Right-hander Dane Acker and Marc Church currently sit on the injured list. The Express continue to integrate top Rangers prospects while veterans rehab or get extra work.
Both rosters feature a mix of high-upside prospects and big-league veterans looking to regain form or earn another call-up.
Probable Pitchers & Key Matchups
Round Rock Express: RHP Josh Stephan takes the ball for the home side. The young right-hander has shown flashes of the stuff that made him a notable arm in the Rangers system.
El Paso Chihuahuas: Starter to be announced. Expect a veteran presence from a group that includes J.P. Sears, Triston McKenzie, Marco Gonzales, and Alek Jacob. Any of these arms can shut down an offense on the right night.
Key Battles to Watch:
- Round Rock’s young core (Cam Cauley, Jose Corniell, Emiliano Teodo) against El Paso’s experienced infield led by Nick Solak, Marcos Castañon, and Clay Dungan.
- El Paso’s power bats (Jose Miranda, Jase Bowen) vs Round Rock’s developing outfield that includes Jarred Kelenic.
- The Express bullpen’s ability to protect late leads after a series filled with extra-inning drama.

Players to Target:
- Jose Miranda (El Paso) — Veteran bat who can go deep and drive in runs.
- Nick Solak (El Paso) — Consistent contact hitter who gets on base and scores.
- Jarred Kelenic (Round Rock) — High-upside name if in the lineup; power/speed threat.
- Cam Cauley (Round Rock) — Young infielder with growing fantasy appeal.

Match Prediction
The Express should feel comfortable at home, but this series has already proven unpredictable. Expect another tight, high-scoring battle typical of PCL play.
Lean: Round Rock Express 6, El Paso Chihuahuas 5 The home team’s slight edge comes from familiarity with Dell Diamond and the motivation to end the homestand on a high note. El Paso’s veteran arms and bats keep it within one run until the final out.
