2025 Fantasy Outlook
Latz opened 2024 in the majors and spent more time with the Rangers than in the minors for the first time since making his MLB debut in 2022. The left-hander danced around elevated walk (14.1 percent) and hard-hit (40.3 percent) rates to post a 3.71 ERA (5.01 xERA) over 43.2 innings before an August forearm injury. He finished out the season rehabbing and eventually had a late September activation to the minors. The Rangers lost several members of the 2024 bullpen, so there should be spots up for grabs during spring training. Latz is one of three lefty relievers, including Hobey Milner and Walter Pennington, that could earn a roster spot. Read Past Outlooks
Exits with apparent hand injury
Latz was removed from his start in Sunday's game against the Nationals due to an apparent cut or blister on his pitching hand, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports. He struck out seven and allowed one earned run on two hits and two walks over 3.1 innings before exiting the game.
ANALYSIS
Making just his second big-league start and his first since the 2021 season, Latz wasn't expected to work much deeper into Sunday's contest after he had already tossed 60 pitches prior to leaving the game following a mound visit from manager Bruce Bochy and a team trainer. Latz gave the Rangers some quality innings while he was on the mound, and assuming he can quickly move past the hand issue, he could be an option to lead off another bullpen game if Nathan Eovaldi (triceps) isn't ready to return from the 15-day injured list when first eligible later this week.
