Texas Rangers starting pitcher Glenn Otto (lat) was scratched ahead of his scheduled start on Saturday. The right-hander missed this contest due to right lat tightness. It sounds like Otto is still dealing with some soreness on Sunday. That being said, the organization has decided to have Otto undergo an MRI. He was likely headed to Triple-A to begin the season anyway. Now, the right-hander might land on the injured list, which could delay his start to the minor league season.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Glenn Otto (lat) was scratched ahead of Saturday's Cactus League matchup versus the Los Angeles Angels. The right-hander was pulled ahead of his scheduled start due to right lat tightness. Instead, Chase Lee was asked to make an emergency start versus the Angels on Saturday. This is not good news for Otto's chances of making the Opening Day roster. He already seemed like a long shot, but this injury certainly isn't going to help his case. Otto will likely head to Triple-A to begin the season, but should return to the Rangers roster at some point in 2023.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Glenn Otto experienced mixed results during Friday's Cactus League opener. The right-hander struck out five batters over two innings of work. However, he also walked a batter and gave up two runs on a two-run home run in the opening frame. The good news is, Otto rebounded nicely, but he'll still have an uphill battle to make the starting rotation. It wouldn't be shocking to see Otto in Texas at some point during the season. However, it'll likely take an injury or two for him to make the Opening Day roster. Possibly, the Rangers give him a chance out of the bullpen, so Otto can get some work on the MLB roster. Although, Otto won't carry much fantasy value unless he's in the starting rotation.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Glenn Otto put together a fairly strong outing against the Boston Red Sox on Thursday. The right-hander struck out a career-high eight batters over five innings of work. Otto also allowed three runs on four hits and was given a no-decision after the bullpen melted down. The 26-year-old is posting a 4.82 ERA with a 82/55 K/BB ratio across 18 starts this season. This was one of his better starts this season, but he remains a shaky option. Otto won't be a recommended streaming option against the Houston Astros during his next start.

The Texas Rangers have activated starting pitcher Glenn Otto from the COVID-19 injured list. He will be the team's starting pitcher for Sunday's game against the Washington Nationals. Otto was on the COVID-19 injured list for about two weeks. The 26-year-old has been having a decent year with some ups-and-downs along the way. Across eight starts, he's gone 4-2 with a 4.24 ERA and a 1.36 WHIP. He posted quality starts in two of his last four starts prior to landing on the COVID-19 injured list.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Glenn Otto has put together a bit of a mixed bag during his time in the MLB. On Thursday, he went two innings, six hits allowed, five earned runs, one walk, and two strikeouts in the 7-6 win. He somehow didn't lose this game even after allowing five runs in the first inning. Otto now has an ERA of 9.26 in 23 1/3 innings in the big leagues. He has put together some quality outings, but Otto has also been rocked quite a bit. He'll likely have to battle for a spot on the roster during spring training. Otto probably won't be someone worth targeting on draft day in most fantasy leagues.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Glenn Otto bounced back nicely on Thursday after giving up seven runs during his previous start. This time around, Otto went five innings, five hits allowed, two earned runs, one walk, and seven strikeouts in the 3-0 loss to the Baltimore Orioles. The 25-year-old has an ugly 8.02 ERA through five starts, but it was really because of one bad outing. The Rangers are expected to ride with Otto through the rest of the regular season. It's uncertain if he'll be a lock for the rotation next season, but he'll remain off the fantasy radar for now.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Glenn Otto cruised through three innings during Thursday's game against the Houston Astros. It looked like Otto was going to have a bounce back game until the fourth inning. He allowed seven runs that inning and finished with seven hits allowed, four walks, and three strikeouts in 3 1/3 innings of work. Things didn't get better for Texas after that and they dropped this game 12-1. Otto has put together two straight horrendous performances. It's not going to get easier for him against the New York Yankees in his next matchup. Fantasy managers can go ahead and stay far away from him.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Glenn Otto was horrendous during Friday's outing versus the Oakland Athletics. He went 3 1/3 innings, eight hits allowed, eight earned runs, one walk, and five strikeouts. Otto kept the ball in the park, but couldn't slow down the Athletics' bats. This was his first bad outing of his young career. It had to happen eventually, so at least it's out of the way. Fantasy managers should expect a rebound outing next time around, but Otto isn't a trustworthy arm in standard leagues right now.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Glenn Otto made his second career start on Friday against the Los Angeles Angels. He lasted 4 2/3 innings, four hits allowed, two earned runs, one walk, and four strikeouts in the 3-2 loss. The 25-year-old gave up two runs in the first inning, but settled in after that. It wouldn't be surprising to see Otto finish out the season in the Rangers rotation. He could possibly help in deep leagues or AL-only formats down the stretch.

Texas Rangers starting pitcher Glenn Otto made his MLB debut against the Houston Astros on Friday. He was acquired by the Rangers in the trade that sent Joey Gallo to the New York Yankees. Otto posted a 3.20 ERA, 1.01 WHIP and 134/24 K/BB ratio (95 2/3) innings in the minors. On Friday, Otto went five innings, two hits allowed, zero earned runs, and seven strikeouts in the 5-4 loss. He'll get the Los Angeles Angels next time out, assuming the Rangers keep him in the rotation. Fantasy managers should quickly check to see it Otto is available in fantasy leagues.
