The Texas Rangers have considered the possibility of acquiring Pittsburgh Pirates outfielder Andrew McCutchen, but the Pirates aren't prepared to move him yet. The deal would have particular interest to the Rangers if at least one pitcher is part of the deal as well.

He could be right back in there on Thursday in a matchup against the Miami Marlins. With McCutchen out, rookie catcher Henry Davis is serving as the designated hitter ...
