Last Night In Baseball: Red Sox Keep Winning; Dodgers Keep Losing

Tyler Alexander - Earns win in relief Alexander (3-2) allowed one hit while striking out one over two-thirds of a scoreless inning to earn the win Friday against Baltimore.

Impact Alexander took over for Nathan Eovaldi with one out in the sixth and prevented the Orioles from adding to their 1-0 advantage, retiring two of the three hitters he faced. Texas then moved ahead on Pederson's two-run homer in the bottom half of the inning, putting Alexander in position for his third win of the campaign. The left-hander owns a 3.20 ERA and continues to operate as a versatile piece of the Rangers' pitching staff, though his role doesn't provide much standalone fantasy value. He has a 3-2 record and 11 holds while converting four of six chances in 2026.

Nathan Eovaldi - Gives up one run in no-decision Eovaldi didn't factor into the decision Friday against the Orioles after allowing one run on four hits and two walks while striking out two over 5.1 innings.

Impact Eovaldi kept Baltimore off the board outside of Coby Mayo's RBI single in the second inning, though he wasn't especially dominant with just two strikeouts. The right-hander departed with one out in the sixth and Texas still trailing 1-0, leaving him in line for the loss before Pederson's two-run homer later in the frame took him off the hook. Eovaldi lowered his ERA to 4.21 with the solid outing, though his lack of strikeouts limited his fantasy production Friday. His next start is scheduled on the road against the Angels.

Joc Pederson - Powers Texas to victory Pederson went 1-for-4 with a two-run home run in Friday's 2-1 win over the Orioles.

Impact Pederson supplied all of the offense Texas needed in this low-scoring victory. After Elias Diaz opened the sixth with a single and Nicky Lopez was out on a sacrifice bunt, Pederson jumped on Baz's first pitch and launched a two-run homer to right field, turning a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead. It was Pederson's 21st homer of the season, and the veteran is now batting .252 with an .846 OPS through 351 plate appearances.

Jacob Latz - Records six-out save Latz allowed two hits and a walk while striking out three over two scoreless innings to earn the save in Friday's 2-1 win over Baltimore.

Impact Latz was asked to protect a one-run advantage for the final two frames and ultimately converted his 22nd save of the season, though the ninth inning provided some drama. Baltimore put the potential tying run in scoring position before Christian Franklin singled to right, but Brandon Nimmo threw Leody Taveras out at the plate. Latz clinched the save by striking out Christian Encarnacion-Strand to end the game. Latz has been reliable all season long for Texas, posting a 1.87 ERA and converting 22 of his 25 save chances this season.

Veteran lefty Jordan Montgomery activated from IL and will pitch out of Rangers bullpen

Veteran left-hander Jordan Montgomery has been activated from the 60-day injured list by the Texas Rangers and will pitch out of their bullpen

Jack Leiter - Scheduled for live BP on Saturday Leiter (ankle) is scheduled to throw a live batting practice Saturday, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports.

Impact Leiter continues to work his way back from right ankle surgery that he underwent in late June. He's aiming to toss 45 pitches in Saturday's session, and if all goes well, then he may need just two rehab starts before being cleared to return to the majors.

Cal Quantrill - Moving to bullpen Rangers manager Skip Schumacher told reporters Friday that Quantrill will move out of the rotation and into the bullpen, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Impact The Rangers will go with a five-man rotation, which means both Quantrill and Jordan Montgomery will shift over to the bullpen, though their exact roles are yet to be determined. Quantrill has been a part of Texas' rotation since late June, and across seven starts he's posted a 1-4 record with a 3.51 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 23:9 K:BB over 33.1 innings. Though his role has yet to be announced, it wouldn't be surprising to see Quantrill operate as a long reliever out of the bullpen unless a spot opens up in the rotation over the last few weeks of the regular season.

Jordan Montgomery - Operating out of bullpen Rangers manager Skip Schumaker said Friday that both Montgomery and Cal Quantrill will both move to the bullpen, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

Impact Montgomery was activated from the 60-day injured list Friday after fully recovering from UCL surgery in March of 2025. He'll work out of the bullpen in his return, and his first time on the mound with the Rangers will mark his first major-league appearance since September of 2024. During that 2024 regular season with the Diamondbacks, Montgomery posted an 8-7 record across 25 games (21 starts) with a 6.23 ERA, 1.65 WHIP and 83:44 K:BB over 117 frames.

The 29-year-old Kingham made his major-league debut Monday and allowed one run on one hit and two walks with one strikeout across one inning. He has a 6.99 ERA across 46.1 innings at Triple-A Round Rock.

Impact Montgomery hasn't pitched in the big leagues in nearly 23 months after undergoing UCL surgery in March of 2025. The left-hander worked as a started on his rehab assignment, but it's unclear what the Rangers' plans are with Montgomery. He could work in long relief. Across eight rehab starts, Montgomery logged a 3.75 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 21:3 K:BB spanning 24 innings.
