Jackson Kowar

SEA Relief Pitcher #37

Personalize your Rotoworld feed by favoriting players

Jackson Kowar is meeting with a doctor on Friday to check on his arm issues.

The Mariners are obviously hoping this isn’t anything too serious given the other injuries, such as Matt Brash, that have hit their bullpen this Spring Training. The 27-year-old, who was drafted in the first round of the 2018 draft, hasn’t been great in the majors posting a 9.12 ERA in eight starts and 31 relief appearances over the past three seasons. He’s likely a bullpen depth piece at this point in his career.

April 24, 2026 02:42 PM

James Schiano talks about the "suddenly surging" Mets, analyzing how they will recover from "ironman" Francisco Lindor suffering a calf strain and sharing why New York is "in a bit of a pickle" at the shortstop position.

Brady Singer

CIN Starting Pitcher #51

Brady Singer worked 5 1/3 innings of two-run baseball to pick up a win over the Tigers on Saturday.

Singer gave up eight hits, but amazingly both runs were allowed on solo homers. Baseball is weird. The right-hander struck out three while generating a serviceable 13 swings and misses on 94 pitches. It’s far from dominant, but effective enough. Singer will attempt to keep lowering his 4.97 ERA when he faces the Pirates on Friday.

Jack Flaherty

DET Starting Pitcher #9

Jack Flaherty was charged for six runs over two innings in a loss to the Reds on Saturday.

Flaherty struck out four while allowing five hits and issuing two walks. That’d be a decent afternoon if he went more than two innings. He did not, and three of those hits went over the fence in another disappointing start for the 30-year-old. He threw more strikes than his six-walk disaster against the Red Sox on Monday, and that’s about the only positive you can take from the contest. Flaherty will try and bounce back against the Rangers on Friday in Detroit.

Josh Jung

TEX 3rd Baseman #6

Josh Jung hit a go-ahead two-run homer in the bottom of the sixth before the Rangers held on to edge the A’s 4-3 on Saturday.

Despite going 0-for-17 in March, Jung is currently hitting .299 on the season. He’s at .371/.430/.671 with four homers in April alone. Statcast thinks the slugging percentage is mostly a mirage, but it is really encouraging that he’s striking out just 17.5 percent of the time this year. His career rate coming into the season was 27.9 percent.

MacKenzie Gore

TEX Starting Pitcher #1

MacKenzie Gore yielded three runs in five innings Saturday in a no-decision against the A’s.

Gore struck out seven, but this was a mediocre, inefficient outing in which he needed 106 pitches to get his 15 outs. Still, at least now that he’s working in front of a quality defense and throwing to a solid catcher, his weaker outings look more like this instead of the three-inning, six-run affairs during his Nationals career. Gore will make his next start in Detroit.

Jacob Latz

TEX Relief Pitcher #67
Jacob Latz notched his first save Saturday with a flawless ninth against the A’s.

Latz has seemed like a candidate for saves in the Texas bullpen for weeks now, but this is his first save of the year. He joins Jakob Junis (three), Tyler Alexander (two) and Cole Winn (one) in having earned saves for the Rangers. Junis set him up with a scoreless eighth tonight, while Winn wound up with the win for pitching a scoreless sixth. It’s difficult to recommend any one Texas reliever right now, but Latz is probably the best bet of the bunch from an ERA standpoint.
