Rangers optioned LHP Robby Ahlstrom to Triple-A Round Rock.

Ahlstrom has struggled for most of the season in the Rangers’ bullpen, posting a disappointing 6.03 ERA, 1.37 WHIP and a 28/10 K/BB ratio over 31 1/3 innings in his 36 appearances. He’ll work on his craft at the Triple-A level for the time being. A corresponding move will be made prior to Friday’s series opener.

Jacob Latz was retroactively credited with his 12th save of the season thanks to a scoring change.

Latz was originally credited with a win against the Royals when he tossed two scoreless innings last Thursday. That has since been changed to a two-inning save with rookie Robby Ahlstrom picking up his first career win in the process. The 30-year-old has converted 12 of his 14 save opportunities this season as the Rangers’ primary closer.

Rangers selected the contract of LHP Robby Ahlstrom from Triple-A Round Rock.

Ahlstrom receives his first opportunity with the Rangers after compiling a strong 2.76 ERA, 0.95 WHIP and 33/8 K/BB ratio across 29 1/3 innings on the doorstep of the majors this season. He’s also notched a pair of saves during that span. The unheralded 26-year-old southpaw will operate in low-leverage spots for the Rangers initially.

Rangers optioned RHPs Leandro Lopez and David Davalillo to Double-A Frisco; Reassigned RHPs Ryan Lobus, Eric Loomis, Patrick Murphy, and Trey Supak, LHP Robby Ahlstrom, INF Andrew Velazquez, OF Aaron Zavala, and C Cooper Johnson to minor league camp.

It’s the first large round of cuts that we have seen from the Rangers this spring but certainly won’t be the last. Nothing surprising to see here as none of the 10 players were serious candidates to crack the Opening Day roster.

Rangers optioned LHPs Walter Pennington, LHP Jacob Latz and RHP Cole Winn to Triple-A Round Rock; optioned RHP Winston Santos to Double-A Frisco; reassigned 1B Blaine Crim, OF Cody Thomas, LHP Michael Plassmeyer, LHP Robby Ahlstrom and RHP Nolan Hoffman to minor league camp.

Pennington, 26, did a decent job in 16 appearances at the big league level in 2024 — posting a 3.00 ERA, 1.67 WHIP and a 17/11 K/BB ratio over 18 innings — so it’s a bit surprising to see him sent out so early when there are still unsettled spots in the Rangers’ bullpen. He’ll probably get an opportunity to pitch for the Rangers at some point during the upcoming 2025 season.
