Tolleson struck out the side to earn his third save of the season on Sunday against the Yankees.

The hard-throwing righty has gone 3-for-3 in save opportunities since unofficially taking over as the Rangers' closer and has posted a 12.9 K/9 in the process, making him an attractive fantasy option for a rolling Rangers team.

Tolleson was unavailable Friday, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram's Jeff Wilson reports.

Ross Ohlendorf got the save Friday, so those who made a move on Tolleson were likely pretty disappointed by the outcome. Tolleson had pitched two straight nights to it makes sense that he was unavailable. The explanation suggests that Tolleson's owners should not panic just yet. Ohlendorf gave up one run during his appearance, so he didn't make a good first impression in the role.

Tolleson recorded his second save in as many nights in a 3-1 win over Boston.

Tolleson allowed a hit and fanned two and appears to be unofficial closer for Texas for the time being.

Tolleson saved a 2-1 win over the Boston Red Sox on Wednesday.

Tolleson pitched a scoreless ninth inning in Sunday's win over the Indians, protecting a 5-1 lead. He entered the game with a 3.86 ERA and 1.163 WHIP and a 22:3 K:BB ratio over 16.1 innings.

At first glance, the outing in a non-save situation doesn't move the needle. However, Neftali Feliz had blown the save Saturday (his third blown save of the year). Feliz started to warm up before the ninth inning but sat down in favor of Tolleson before the Rangers tacked on a run to make it a four-run lead.

Tolleson picked up the hold with a scoreless eighth inning in a 3-1 win over the A's on Tuesday.

Tolleson (forearm) threw a bullpen session Friday and hopes to pitch in a game this weekend, MLB.com's TR Sullivan reports.

A recent MRI showed no material change in his forearm, so it seems like something that he will be able to pitch through. Once he gets into a game then we can start projecting him to be with the Rangers early in the season.

Tolleson is expected to serve in the seventh inning role for the Rangers this season, but that could be delayed by the forearm tightness. If it is, he'll likely wind up on the disabled list to begin the season backdated early enough to activate about a week or so after the season begins.

Tolleson has been scratched from Sunday's game with forearm soreness, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

This could be nothing more than a precautionary measure, as the Rangers aren't taking any chances with the bullpen injuries they've had. We'll learn more during his next scheduled appearance.

Tolleson has been confirmed as a member of the Rangers' bullpen for 2015, Stefan Stevenson of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Coming off a good season in the bullpen in 2014, it comes as no surprise that Tolleson will once again pitch in that capacity. He finished the campaign with a 2.76 ERA and 1.17 WHIP with 69 strikeouts in 71.2 innings. Tolleson will likely serve in a middle relief role, but could find his way towards the back end of the bullpen if others were to struggle.

The Dodgers had been hoping to get Tolleson back on September 1 from his back surgery, but that's not going to happen. "He's getting slowed down," manager Don Mattingly said. "I haven't heard that he's been shut down for the year. I just heard that he's on hold."
