Texas Rangers relief pitcher Tony Barnette threw a clean inning out of the bullpen against the Boston Red Sox, lowering his season ERA to 2.57. In any other pitching staff, this would likely not be news. The Rangers are a little different, and the struggles of the bullpen as a whole mean that every good performance could lead to higher leverage innings quickly. Barnette has now thrown in five games in 2018, and all of his earned runs have come from one disastrous outing. He's working with a 3/1 strikeout-to-walk ratio and a 3.16 FIP, which puts him among the more effective options in relief. Barnette continues to be a name to keep an eye on as a potential fantasy option for saves or holds in 2018.--Sean ScamptonRead More News
