Rangers Calling Up Pitching Prospect Robby Ahlstrom Following Impressive Showing at Triple-A
The Texas Rangers are promoting left-handed pitching prospect Robby Ahlstrom to the big leagues, as confirmed by Jeff Wilson of DLLS Sports. Ahlstrom has been impressive across 29 1/3 innings (21 games) with Triple-A Round Rock so far in 2026, recording a 2.76 ERA, 0.95 WHIP, 33 strikeouts, and two saves. Ahlstrom has worked in a multi-inning relief role since the start of the 2023 season, so he's likely ticketed for a spot in the Texas bullpen. Rangers left-hander Jacob Latz has worked his way into the primary closer role for Texas, pitching to a 2.08 ERA with seven saves this season. However, Latz has just eight saves across 104 career MLB appearances, so he's not a lock to hold the Rangers closer job all season. In deeper leagues, fantasy managers may want to consider taking a flyer on Ahlstrom on the waiver wire in case he emerges as a candidate for saves in Texas.
