The Texas Rangers will go for their second consecutive series sweep and their sixth straight win when they square off with the struggling Atlanta Braves on Sunday afternoon in the finale of a three-game interleague series in Arlington, Texas.

ARLINGTON — The Texas Rangers officially activated designated hitter Joc Pederson from the 10-day injured list on Sunday. The move was made in advance of the series finale with the Atlanta Braves at Globe Life Field. Manager Bruce Bochy announced on Saturday the intention was to activate Pederson and start him at DH on Sunday.

Just this past month, the Rangers broke out their red hats for the first time this year vs. the Mariners. The red hats were the club’s only hats for its first three playoff seasons and a regular part of the rotation in the 2010-11 World Series runs.

The Rangers didn’t string together any big rallies until the eighth inning but continually put runs on the scoreboard in the first, second, fourth and fifth innings. The wheels fell off in the eighth by way of an erratic Rafael Montero.

BOTTOM LINE: The Texas Rangers, on a three-game home winning streak, host the Atlanta Braves. Texas is 53-50 overall and 31-20 in home games. The Rangers are 38-10 in games when they have more hits than their opponents.

It’s too early to know who would replace Snitker, but Braves legend Chipper Jones has potentially worked his way into the conversation. The 53-year-old Jones has never been a full-time coach at any level, though he’s worked for the organization as both an advisor and the assistant hitting coach.

Young, former Rangers general manager Jon Daniels and assistant general manager Thad Levine took a trip down memory lane.
