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.
Notches sixth save
Latz earned a save against the Astros on Tuesday, allowing one run on one hit while striking out two batters over 1.1 innings.
Analysis
Texas jumped out to an 8-0 lead after one inning, but Houston managed to close the deficit to three runs with two outs in the eighth. Latz was brought in with a runner on second in that frame and struck out Brice Matthews to finish the inning. He then gave up a solo homer to Jeremy Pena in the ninth, but the Astros weren't able to get any closer. Latz's save was his first in two weeks and just his third appearance over that span. With that said, no Texas pitcher picked up a save during those two weeks, and Latz remains the leading candidate for saves moving forward.

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.
