2026 Fantasy Outlook
Latz did not make the Rangers' Opening Day roster last season but wound up playing an important swingman role for them. In eight starts and a pair of bulk relief appearances for Texas, Latz posted a 2.36 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 36:19 K:BB over 49.2 innings of work. With a good fastball he can spot at the top of the strike zone, a changeup that induced whiffs at a 41 percent rate, and a slider that shows some promise, Latz has the repertoire of a starting pitcher. What he might not possess is enough control to make it work, having put up an 11.5 percent walk rate in the majors and an 11 percent walk rate in the minors. If he does win a spot in the Rangers' rotation, the left-hander could make for an interesting late-round fantasy selection. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a one-year contract with the Rangers in March of 2026.
Four scoreless innings Saturday
Latz struck out three and walked one across four scoreless and hitless innings in Saturday's 5-4 win over the Phillies.
Analysis
With Jacob deGrom scratched due to neck stiffness, Latz made the spot start for Texas after he lost out to Kumar Rocker for the fifth spot in Texas' rotation over the spring. Latz made easy work of the Phillies on 68 pitches but didn't factor into the decision. As long as deGrom is cleared for his next turn through the rotation, Latz should slot back into a long-relief role in the bullpen.

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.
