Summary
Eight Rangers players took part in Thursday’s Faith & Family Night at Globe Life Field, with attendees saying nearly a quarter of the roster shared about their faith in postgame events.
The program came during Pride Month as Texas remains the only one of MLB’s 30 teams not to hold an official Pride Night, making the event a focal point for renewed backlash.
Brandon Nimmo, Cody Bradford, Jalen Beeks, Jacob Latz, Evan Carter, Cody Freeman, Josh Jung and Wyatt Langford appeared; Nathan Eovaldi had been scheduled but did not attend.
In a 2024 statement cited again amid the criticism, the Rangers said their longstanding commitment is to make everyone feel welcome and included at the ballpark and across team programs.
