Latz on the Sidelines, Ready to Strike | Texas Rangers News

Rangers’ All-Star closer Jacob Latz is getting strategic rest this month, pitching in just four games—down from his first-half workload. Manager Skip Schumaker sees it as smart pacing, knowing save chances come in waves. Latz admits he’s feeling the rhythm gap after limited outings, even though he notched his 12th multi-inning save recently—though he wasn’t pleased with his command, throwing too many fastballs outside the zone. Schumaker emphasizes readiness for high-leverage moments, warning that sudden back-to-back close games demand peak condition. While Latz’s talent shines through, he’s focused on fine-tuning his mechanics. The Rangers are banking on more clutch opportunities to bring him in—and balancing his sharpness with careful usage.
