| Sep 30 2023 | The Rangers optioned Latz to Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: In order to make room for Matt Bush, who was selected from Triple-A on Saturday, the Rangers will push Latz off the active roster and back to the minor leagues. The 27-year-old lefty has made three appearances for the Rangers this season and has yet to surrender a run through 6.1 frames. |
|
| Sep 29 2023 | The Rangers recalled Latz from Triple-A Round Rock on Friday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Latz will give Texas a fresh bullpen arm leading into the final weekend of the regular season. He's thrown 4.1 scoreless innings over two major-league appearances this year. |
|
| Sep 27 2023 | The Rangers optioned Latz to Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Latz will lose his spot in Texas' bullpen as Josh Sborz (hamstring) returns from the injured list Wednesday. Latz turned in two solid outings with the Rangers this season, combining for 4.1 scoreless innings with three strikeouts, and he could be in a position to compete for a spot on the Rangers' Opening Day roster in 2024. |
|
| Sep 16 2023 | Latz was recalled by the Rangers on Saturday, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Latz has pitched the entire season with Triple-A Round Rock and posted an impressive 87:29 K:BB across 63.2 frames. He should fill a low-leverage role in the Rangers' bullpen. |
|
| Mar 19 2023 | Latz was reassigned to the Rangers' minor-league camp Sunday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Latz made his MLB debut last season and surrendered three earned runs across 4.2 innings, and he won't make Texas' Opening Day roster. The left-hander had a 5.77 ERA in 53 frames at Triple-A Round Rock last season and is likely to remain with the affiliate for most of 2023. |
|
| Aug 30 2021 | Latz was sent back to Triple-A Round Rock on Monday. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Latz was called up for his big-league debut last week but wasn't particularly good, giving up three solo homers in 4.2 innings against Cleveland. He could feature again down the stretch but isn't needed at the moment, as the Rangers clear a space to promote A.J. Alexy ahead of his own debut start. |

| Aug 26 2021 | Latz (0-1) took the loss Wednesday as the Rangers fell 7-2 to Cleveland, giving up three runs on five hits -- including three solo home runs -- over 4.2 innings. He struck out four without walking a batter. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: The 25-year-old southpaw wasn't afraid to come into the zone in his big-league debut, tossing 57 of 84 pitches for strikes, but his command wasn't up to the task as he got taken deep by three hitters not exactly known for their power in Oscar Mercado, Yu Chang and Austin Hedges. Latz has served up 13 homers in 72.1 innings between Double-A and Triple-A this season, so the result shouldn't have been surprising. He'll likely only remain in the rotation until Texas gets reinforcements back off the COVID-19 injured list. |

| Aug 25 2021 | Latz's contract was selected by the Rangers ahead of Wednesday's start against Cleveland, Chris Halicke of SI.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Latz will step in to make his major-league debut as Wednesday's starter after Dane Dunning (undisclosed) was placed on the COVID-19 injured list. The 25-year-old was recently promoted to Triple-A Round Rock, where he allowed 10 runs (seven earned) on 14 hits and four walks while striking out nine in nine innings. |
|
| Aug 24 2021 | Latz is expected to be recalled from Triple-A Round Rock to start Wednesday against Cleveland, Chris Halicke of SI.com reports. | ROTOWIRE RECOMMENDS: Dane Dunning (undisclosed) was previously slated to take the ball Wednesday, but he will reportedly be placed on the COVID-19 injured list in the next 24 hours. Latz has made just two starts with Round Rock since being recently promoted, and has allowed seven earned runs across nine innings. He'll be making his big-league debut Wednesday, and it's to be seen if he remains in the rotation following the outing. |
