Gomez will likely join the Rangers on Thursday, Evan Grant of the Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Gomez will be a candidate to earn the Rangers' left field job. Upon his arrival, he'll compete with Nomar Mazara and Delino DeShields for the spot. While neither Mazara nor DeShields have impressed at the plate, Gomez will have to show plenty of improvement from the showing he had with the Astros this season. Before getting released by Houston, Gomez had a .210/.272/.322 line.
