Today the Texas Rangers invite the World Baseball Classic squad from Brazil to Surprise, AZ for a tune-up.

The game may seem even more exhibition-y than a regular Cactus League contest, but it is noteworthy for Texas in that both former New York Mets favorites Jacob deGrom and Brandon Nimmo will be making their 2026 spring debuts with Nimmo suiting up for Texas for the first time.

RHP deGrom will make the start for Texas opposite a lefty named Enzo Sawayama for Team Brazil.

Here’s the lineup:

I don’t believe this game is being broadcast anywhere but you can follow along on Gameday. First pitch from Surprise Stadium is scheduled for 2:05 pm CT.
