Jacob Latz Injury: Exits Sunday's game

Latz was removed in the ninth inning of his relief appearance in Sunday's game against the Mariners due to an unspecified reason, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports. He struck out four and allowed one hit and one walk over 2.1 scoreless innings.

After taking a no-hitter into the seventh inning while working as a starter in his previous appearance Tuesday in Baltimore, Latz ended up shifting back to the bullpen this weekend. He entered Sunday's contest in the top of the seventh and worked two scoreless frames before he was lifted in the top of the ninth after striking out a batter and giving up a ground rule double. Wilson relays that Latz was dealing with an illness Saturday and may have been dealing with some fatigue, but the Rangers will likely elaborate further on Latz's early exit once Sunday's contest concludes.
