Jacob Latz a Must-Add for Saves
Texas Rangers left-handed reliever Jacob Latz allowed two earned runs on two hits (one homer) while striking out two in his outing on Thursday against the Toronto Blue Jays, but he escaped the mess to pick up his team-leading 15th save of the 2026 season. Since Latz's last blown save on May 13 against the Arizona Diamondbacks, he has a win and 10 saves with three earned runs allowed, three walks, and 23 strikeouts in 16 1/3 innings pitched. He has picked up a save in eight of his nine outings in June, posting a 1.50 ERA (2.27 FIP), three walks, and 16 strikeouts in 12 innings pitched. The 30-year-old southpaw has emerged as manager Skip Schumaker's primary closing option this year, and not enough fantasy managers have taken notice. He is rostered in only 57% of Yahoo leagues despite a very strong 1.89 ERA (2.66 FIP), 0.66 WHIP, a career-high 15 saves, 40 strikeouts, and only eight walks. Latz is tied for ninth in MLB with his 15 saves and has 10 saves in a row in Texas.
