Availability
Kumar Rocker allowed three hits while walking four and striking out three over five scoreless innings in a 6-5 win over the Diamondbacks.
Fantasy Impact
Rocker has struggled to miss opposing bats of late, allowing three or more earned runs in two of his last three starts. The right-hander remains one of many inconsistent options in the Rangers rotation to this point, posting a 4.34 ERA and 1.50 WHIP with a 1-4 record and 1.76 K/BB ratio through eight starts.
Kumar Rocker allowed three earned runs on four hits and three walks while striking out three over 3 2/3 innings in Friday's loss to the Cubs.
Fantasy Impact
Rocker has struggled to miss opposing bats of late, allowing three or more earned runs in four of his last seven starts. The right-hander remains an underwhelming option in the Rangers rotation for manager Skip Schumaker, posting a 5.01 ERA and 1.52 WHIP with a 1-4 record and 2.08 K/BB ratio through seven starts.
Kumar Rocker allowed five runs on six hits over two innings with two strikeouts in a loss on Saturday against the Tigers.
Fantasy Impact
Rocker had been pitching better prior to Saturday's outing. He'll look to get back on track in his next scheduled start against the Cubs.
Kumar Rocker allowed two earned runs on six hits and two walks while striking out three over six innings in Sunday's loss to the Athletics.
Fantasy Impact
Rocker continues a solid stretch on the mound, allowing two earned runs or less in four of his last five starts. The right-hander remains a reliable starting option despite a lack of consistent run support early on, posting a 3.38 ERA and 1.31 WHIP with a 1-2 record and 2.2 K/BB ratio through five starts.
Rocker (1-1) picked up the win Tuesday against Pittsburgh, holding the Pirates to one run on four hits and one walk with five strikeouts across six innings.
Fantasy Impact
An RBI single to Ryan O'Hearn in the first was the only damage, as Rocker induced 11 ground balls and otherwise dominated the Pittsburgh lineup. It was his first win and quality start since July 19 against Detroit. He has allowed three runs or fewer in each of his four outings this year, posting a 3.48 ERA, 1.31 WHIP, and 19:8 K:BB across 20.2 innings. He takes the mound again this weekend at home against Oakland.
