Dallas Keuchel News
The Texas Rangers designated left-hander Dallas Keuchel for assignment on Sunday and released him on Monday. Left-hander John King was called up from Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday in a corresponding move. It's the third time that Keuchel has been designated for assignment this year, failing to latch on earlier this season with the Chicago White Sox and the Arizona Diamondbacks. The 34-year-old veteran southpaw surrendered 14 earned runs on 18 hits while walking four and striking out seven in just two starts for Texas, and he has an embarrassing 9.20 ERA and 2.06 WHIP in 14 overall starts in the big leagues in 2022. The two-time All-Star has fallen off a cliff in recent seasons and may not resurface again.
Texas Rangers left-handed pitcher Dallas Keuchel will start Saturday against the Detroit Tigers after having his contract selected from Triple-A Round Rock. Keuchel was signed in July by the Rangers after pitching for both the White Sox and Diamondbacks earlier in the season. The 34-year-old has struggled mightily in the majors this season, compiling an 8.53 ERA and 2.03 WHIP over 50 IP. For what it's worth, he has been good with Round Rock, where he has a 2.31 ERA in four starts. Detroit's lineup is about as close to a Triple-A lineup as you'll find in the majors, so there's a chance he has a decent start. Still, it's not worth the risk.
The Texas Rangers signed starting pitcher Dallas Keuchel to a minor league contract Monday, per The Athletic's Levi Weaver. He will report to Triple-A Round Rock. The 34-year-old made 12 starts with the White Sox and Diamondbacks this season, compiling a poor 2-7 record with an 8.53 ERA and 2.03 WHIP before last being designated for assignment in July. The lefty had been a fantasy contributor for much of his career, but he hasn't been able to find success since 2020. Keuchel does not present any fantasy value at this time, as he will need to first make his way back to the big leagues and then prove that he can pitch somewhat effectively.

Dallas Keuchel had a great first year with the White Sox, going 6-2 with a 1.99 ERA over 63 1/3 IP. Unfortunately, no pitcher is due for more negative regression. His 3.98 xFIP was nearly two full runs higher than his ERA, and Baseball Savant's expected ERA metric liked him even less at 4.39. Lest you think some sort of contact suppression was in play, his xBA of .282 was much higher than his .218 average against. Likewise, his .397 xSLG was 100 points higher than his actual .286 mark. He also finished the campaign with zero DFS, suggesting that Keuchel is no longer the defensive standout he once was. Keuchel appeared to change his pitch mix to get more strikeouts, most notably throwing more cutters (20.2% in 2019, 29.7% last year) at the expense of his signature sinker (48.9% to 33.1%). It didn't work, as Keuchel's 16.3 K% was as low as it typically is. Furthermore, Keuchel's cutter only posted a 28.8 GB% against his sinker's 62.4%. What we have here is a former Gold Glover who has become a neutral defender, a ground ball specialist pitching away from grounders, and one of the most fortunate pitchers in the league. His ADP of 195.78 isn't expensive, and yet you're still better off rolling the dice on somebody with upside.
