Jacob Latz - Page 3 - MLB News, Rumors, & Updates

Confirmed for Tuesday's start Latz will start Tuesday's game against the Orioles, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Impact It was reported earlier in the day that Latz was tentatively lining up for Tuesday's start, and the club confirmed the southpaw as the starter following Monday's 6-0 loss. This will mark Latz's second start of the season, though he worked 5.2 frames in relief Thursday and is stretched out to provide length, making this more of a spot start versus a bullpen game.

Tentatively lined up for Tuesday Latz appears tentatively scheduled to start Tuesday's game in Baltimore, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Dane Dunning is also an option to start Tuesday, but it sounds like the Rangers will give the ball to Latz as long as he isn't needed out of the bullpen Monday. Fifteen of Latz's 16 appearances this season have come out of the bullpen, but he went 5.2 relief innings and threw 82 pitches last Thursday against the Royals, so he's stretched out to provide length Tuesday. With Nathan Eovaldi (triceps) expected back later this week, it would likely be just a spot start for Latz.

Throws multiple relief innings Latz allowed one run on three hits and one walk over 5.2 relief innings in Thursday's 4-1 loss to the Royals.

Impact The Rangers' rotation is nicked up, and Thursday's game was the third bullpen game over the last 10 days. Latz, who was once a starter in the minors, hadn't thrown this many innings since April of 2022 when he was in the rotation at Triple-A Round Rock. He's averaged three innings over his last four appearances and might be an option to make a start at some point.

JUNE 14, 2025 • Associated Press

Works in relief Wednesday Latz (hand) allowed two earned runs on three hits in an inning of relief in Wednesday's 6-2 loss to the Twins.

Impact The lefty made his second career MLB start in his most recent appearance last Sunday against the Nationals and struck out seven over 3.1 innings before exiting with an apparent blister or cut on his pitching hand, but he made enough improvement for the Rangers to call upon him from the bullpen three days later. With Nathan Eovaldi (triceps) looking unlikely to be ready to return from the injured list the next time his turn in the rotation comes up Saturday versus the White Sox, Latz could be needed to make another start. Even if that's the case, Latz would likely be deployed as more of an opener than a traditional starter.

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 str...

Impact 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.

JUNE 8, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Starting bullpen game Sunday Latz will start Sunday against the Nationals, Matthew Postins of SI.com reports.

Impact The Rangers will throw a bullpen game, with Latz leading the way. He threw three innings as recently as May 27, so he could work multiple innings, if effective. Latz has turned in seven consecutive scoreless innings, maintaining an 11:2 K:BB across his last five appearances.

Recalled from Triple-A The Rangers recalled Latz from Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Impact Latz has posted a 3.12 ERA and 14:8 K:BB over 8.2 frames at Round Rock this season. He will give manager Bruce Bochy another left-handed option in the bullpen.

APRIL 16, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Could still win bullpen spot Latz was spotted at Globe Life Field on Monday and could win a spot in the Rangers' Opening Day bullpen, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Impact Latz was sent to minor-league camp in early March, but he remains under consideration for a multi-inning relief role and could be the favorite to nab the last spot in the Texas bullpen. The 28-year-old made 46 appearances in relief for the Rangers in 2024, posting a 3.71 ERA and 40:27 K:BB over 43.2 frames.

MARCH 24, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sent out to minors The Rangers optioned Latz to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.

Impact Latz was one of three candidates for the Opening Day bullpen sent back to the minors Sunday, with left-hander Walter Pennington and right-hander Cole Winn also getting optioned to Round Rock. The 28-year-old Latz made 46 relief appearances for Texas in 2024, logging a 3.71 ERA and 1.51 WHIP across 43.2 innings.

MARCH 9, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Activated, optioned to Triple-A The Rangers reinstated Latz (forearm) from the 15-day injured list Wednesday and optioned him to Triple-A Round Rock.

Impact Forearm tightness has kept Latz on the shelf since early August. He gave up five earned runs over one-third of an inning during his first rehab outing Aug. 18, but he's since allowed just two runs across 7.2 frames in the minors. The Rangers will keep him at Triple-A for now, though there's still a chance he rejoins the big squad to help out Texas' bullpen over the final few weeks of the season.

SEPTEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Set for rehab assignment Latz (forearm) is set to begin a rehab assignment with Double-A Frisco on Sunday.

Impact Latz has been sidelined since Aug. 2 and began throwing off a mound Thursday. He's been used in relatively short stints out of the bullpen, so his rehab assignment shouldn't be particularly lengthy.

AUGUST 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Throwing bullpen Thursday Latz (forearm) will throw a bullpen session Thursday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Thursday will mark the first time Latz has thrown off a mound since he landed on the injured list Sunday with forearm tightness. The Rangers have yet to offer a timeline for the 28-year-old southpaw to come off the IL, though he'll presumably require a few more sessions of mound work before that becomes an option.

AUGUST 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Sent to IL with forearm tightness The Rangers placed Latz on the 15-day injured list Sunday with left forearm tightness.

Impact Though Latz's diagnosis of forearm tightness can often be a precursor to a procedure, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com relays that the Rangers have no concern about the left-hander potentially needing Tommy John surgery. Instead, Latz looks like he'll be able to treat the injury through rest and rehab, though a timeline for his return from the IL likely won't be known until he's cleared to start throwing again. The Rangers called up lefty Brock Burke from Triple-A Round Rock to take Latz's spot in the bullpen.

AUGUST 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Back in minors The Rangers optioned Latz to Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday.

Impact In order to make room for Matt Bush, who was selected from Triple-A on Saturday, the Rangers will push Latz off the active roster and back to the minor leagues. The 27-year-old lefty has made three appearances for the Rangers this season and has yet to surrender a run through 6.1 frames.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from Round Rock The Rangers recalled Latz from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday.

Impact Latz will give Texas a fresh bullpen arm leading into the final weekend of the regular season. He's thrown 4.1 scoreless innings over two major-league appearances this year.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Optioned to Triple-A The Rangers optioned Latz to Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Latz will lose his spot in Texas' bullpen as Josh Sborz (hamstring) returns from the injured list Wednesday. Latz turned in two solid outings with the Rangers this season, combining for 4.1 scoreless innings with three strikeouts, and he could be in a position to compete for a spot on the Rangers' Opening Day roster in 2024.

SEPTEMBER 28, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back in majors Latz was recalled by the Rangers on Saturday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Impact Latz has pitched the entire season with Triple-A Round Rock and posted an impressive 87:29 K:BB across 63.2 frames. He should fill a low-leverage role in the Rangers' bullpen.
