Drawing start versus Angels Latz has been named the Rangers' starting pitcher for Wednesday's game against the Angels in Arlington.

Impact With Nathan Eovaldi (shoulder) set to go on the injured list with a likely season-ending rotator cuff strain, Latz will get the first chance to replace him in the rotation. Latz has previously made three starts among his 26 appearances for the Rangers, but he most recently worked out of the bullpen in an outing against the Royals on Aug. 20, when he struck out four over 3.1 scoreless innings. Latz should be able to build on the 43-pitch workload he handled in that contest, but the Rangers may not keep him in Wednesday's game long enough to qualify for a win.

Moving up from Triple-A The Rangers recalled Latz from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday.

Impact Caleb Boushley will begin the game on the mound for the Rangers on Wednesday in Kansas City, but since he'll be pitching on one day of rest and hasn't covered more than one frame since making a three-inning appearance for Round Rock on Aug. 10, he'll likely be in line for an abbreviated start. As one of the fresher arms in the bullpen who's capable of providing length, Latz could be called upon for multiple innings of relief Wednesday. Latz is available on three days' rest and worked five-plus innings on three previous occasions for Texas this season, most recently doing so July 20 versus Detroit.

Pushed back to Triple-A The Rangers optioned Latz to Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

Impact After giving up three runs (two earned) in 1.1 innings during Texas' loss to Seattle on Thursday, Latz will be sent back to Triple-A to help make room for new additions Danny Coulombe and Phil Maton. Despite his latest outing, Latz still owns a 3.23 ERA through 55.2 innings with Texas this year, making him a safe bet to return to Arlington at some point down the line.

Shifts back to bullpen Latz worked in relief in wins over Atlanta on Friday and Saturday, covering 1.1 innings between his two appearances while allowing one earned run on two hits and three walks.

Impact Prior to his pair of relief appearances, Latz made tossed five innings of one-run ball in a start against the Tigers on July 20, but he was never expected to receive multiple turns through the Texas rotation. The 29-year-old lefty has proven to be a dependable spot starter when called upon this season, but the Rangers aren't likely to have a permanent rotation spot available for him unless another starter succumbs to an injury. Even in that scenario, Jon Gray -- who was activated from the 60-day injured list earlier this week and moved to the bullpen -- might be the preferred option over Latz to fill any void in the rotation.

Takes no-decision in spot start Latz did not factor into the decision in Sunday's 2-1 loss to the Tigers. He allowed one run on six hits and two walks over five innings with three strikeouts.

Impact The 29-year-old pitched valiantly in his third game started of the season after Nathan Eovaldi (back) had to be scratched from his scheduled start Sunday. The only blemish on Latz's performance came in the second when Zach McKinstry roped a run-scoring single. The Texas southpaw is likely to return to his usual bullpen role following this start, but it is possible he garners another turn in the rotation if Eovaldi's back injury requires additional missed time. Latz is currently enjoying the best season of his career in year four with the Rangers, pitching to a 2.89 ERA, 1.25 WHIP and 51:23 K:BB across 53 innings.

Tabbed for start Sunday Latz will be starting for Texas in place of Nathan Eovaldi (back) versus Detroit on Sunday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Impact Eovaldi was scheduled for the start opposite Detroit ace Tarik Skubal, but the Rangers righty has been scratched due to tightness in his back. In Eovaldi's place, Latz will step in for a spot start. The lefty previously made two starts this season, topping out at six innings and 88 pitches June 24 versus Baltimore. Latz has pitched well overall this season, posting a 3.00 ERA, 1.21 WHIP and 48:21 K:BB over 48 frames spanning 21 appearances.

Claims save in long relief Latz (undisclosed) struck out three and allowed two hits and no walks over three scoreless innings of relief en route to earning a save in Tuesday's 10-2 win over the Orioles.

Impact In his previous appearance during Sunday's 6-4 loss to the Orioles, Latz was lifted after 2.1 innings due to an apparent injury, but the Rangers felt comfortable enough with his health to turn to him in an extended relief outing two days later. Latz needed 43 pitches to record his nine outs and was credited with the first save of his career. The left-hander previously made a pair of starts in June but will likely work out of the bullpen moving forward following Nathan Eovaldi's recent return from the injured list.

Exits Sunday's game Latz (undisclosed) was removed in the ninth inning of Sunday's game against the Mariners, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Impact Latz was replaced by Luke Jackson in he middle of an at-bat in the ninth. Wilson relays that Latz was dealing with an illness Saturday and may have been fatigued during Sunday's outing. Latz will finish the day having tossed 2.1 scoreless innings, striking out four while allowing one hit and one walk.

Brilliant in no-decision Latz came away with a no-decision in Tuesday's 6-5 extra-inning win over the Orioles, allowing two runs on one hit and three walks over six-plus innings. He struck out four.

Impact The southpaw no-hit the O's through six innings as the Rangers built a 3-0 lead, but after Latz gave up a single to Ramon Laureano and walked Gunnar Henderson to begin the seventh, he had to watch from the dugout as Chris Martin served up three straight homers to erase his chance at a win. Latz has been outstanding since moving into the rotation, posting a 2.31 ERA and 0.69 WHIP in 11.2 innings over two starts, but his 4:4 K:BB suggests he wouldn't be able to sustain anything close to that pace over a longer stretch. With Nathan Eovaldi (triceps) on track to rejoin the staff this weekend, however, Latz will likely head back to the bullpen.
