News 
 Latz has a 2.08 ERA and 0.62 WHIP across 26 innings this season, with a 5.5% walk rate and 25.3% strikeout rate backing his emergence as Texas' primary closer in late April. Sunday marked his seventh save of the campaign.
Bruno Mulé
Mon, Jun 1st		 
 Latz has made just three appearances over the past two weeks and Tuesday marked his first save in that span, though no Texas pitcher recorded a save during that stretch either. He remains the leading candidate for saves going forward.
Bruno Mulé
Wed, May 27th		 
 Jacob Latz worked a clean inning for the save on Friday against the Tigers.
Ari Koslow
Sat, May 2nd		 
 Jacob Latz pitched the last two innings scoreless to earn the save on Wednesday against the Yankees.
Ari Koslow
Thu, Apr 30th		 
 Latz lost out to Kumar Rocker for the fifth spot in Texas' rotation this spring but got a spot start Saturday after Jacob deGrom was scratched with neck stiffness. He threw four scoreless, hitless innings on 68 pitches, striking out three and walking one, though he did not factor into the decision in the Rangers' 5-4 win over Philadelphia.
