Justin Foscue Having Nice Spring
1 year agoTexas Rangers infield prospect Justin Foscue went 2-for-3 with a double and two RBI in Tuesday's Cactus League contest versus the Oakland Athletics. Foscue, 25, is now hitting .275 with one homer, four doubles and five RBI in 40 at-bats. Foscue was brought up as a second baseman, but has played both corner infield positions this spring and that can help increase his chances of breaking camp with the World Series champs. In Triple-A Round Rock this past season, Foscue hit .266 with 18 home runs, 31 doubles, four triples, 84 RBI, 14 stolen bases and 94 runs scored in 122 games. The former first-round pick does not possess much power which limits his game, but has a knack for making contact and getting on base. Without much power or opportunity at the moment, Foscue can remain on the waiver wire in all formats.

Justin Foscue Sent Back To Minors
8 months agoThe Texas Rangers optioned infielders Justin Foscue and Jonathan Ornelas and catcher Andrew Knizner to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday among a flurry of roster moves. Foscue, the club's No. 2 prospect per MLB Pipeline, has come up for a few cups of coffee at the big-league level this year but has only appeared in seven games and has gone 2-for-19 (.105) with a double, RBI and seven strikeouts. The 25-year-old wasn't playing against right-handers and didn't have a clear path to playing time with Josh Jung (wrist) returning from the injured list on Monday. The former first-rounder in 2020 out of Mississippi State will now return to Round Rock, where he's hit .241/.412/.405 with an .817 OPS, three homers and 15 RBI in 23 games this year. Foscue is only a stash candidate in dynasty/keeper leagues for his power -- he hit a career-high 18 homers at Round Rock in 2023.

Texas Rangers Recall Justin Foscue On Saturday
8 months agoProspect Justin Foscue has been recalled by the Texas Rangers ahead of their Saturday tilt with the Baltimore Orioles. Foscue was on the roster for two days in April, getting one hit and a RBI in two plate appearances, before being hampered by an oblique sprain. Foscue missed more than three months but is apparently ready now. Look for Foscue to accrue at-bats at both third base (as long as Josh Jung remains out) and designated hitter. In 87 plate appearances over the last month in Triple-A, Foscue hit .242 with three home runs, 13 RBI, one stolen base and 13 runs scored.

Justin Foscue Heating Up In July
9 months agoTexas Rangers infield prospect Justin Foscue went 2-for-5 with a solo home run for Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday. This comes after Foscue picked up five hits on Tuesday. The infielder, who had previously dealt with an oblique injury has had a huge month of July thus far. In that span, he is hitting .407 with two homers, eight RBI and six runs. The club's No. 2 prospect per MLB Pipeline, Foscue had a cup of coffee with the Rangers earlier this season, prior to his injury, but only had two at-bats. He is swinging the bat well enough to receive a promotion, but without a real opening, everyday at-bats at Round Rock seem to be what is best for Foscue's development. Because of his lack of opportunity at the moment, his value remains strongest in dynasty leagues. If he were to get promoted to the big leagues later this summer, he would be an intriguing add.

Justin Foscue Has Rehab Assignment Moved To Triple-A Round Rock
9 months agoTexas Rangers infield prospect Justin Foscue (oblique) went 1-for-2 with two walks for Triple-A Round Rock on Thursday. The 25-year-old saw his rehab assignment moved to Triple-A as he continues to progress in his return from an oblique strain. Foscue had just gotten the call-up to the Rangers when he suffered his injury in early April. The No. 2 prospect for Texas is a pure hitter with good plate discipline. As he continues his rehab assignment it will be interesting to see if a spot opens for him at the major league level. First, he will have to show he is back to full health, but any potential return to the big leagues could be in a utility role.
