Kennedy pitched a scoreless two-thirds of an inning in Friday's spring game against the Royals.

EDGE Analysis

In a sign that Kennedy, a non-roster invitee, will make the Opening Day roster, he was used on back-to-back days for the first time this spring. Not only does it look like he'll make the roster, but Kennedy could be the Rangers' closer. The 36-year-old right-hander has not allowed a run or hit while striking out seven and walking two over 5.2 spring innings.
