Jimmy Lambert, Joe Barlow Dealing With Shoulder Soreness

Chicago White Sox relief pitchers Jimmy Lambert and Joe Barlow are both dealing with shoulder soreness in camp. Lambert will be sideline for 10 to 14 days, while Barlow could be out even longer. Lambert has not pitched since making his Cactus League debut on Feb. 25 and is going to be out for some time. Both Lambert, 29, and Barlow, 28, will most likely open the 2024 regular season on the injured list, which is more bad news for an already bad and shallow White Sox bullpen. Lambert picked up his first career save for the Pale Hose in 2023 in his fourth year with the team, but he also had a 5.26 ERA and 1.62 WHIP with 20 walks and 41 strikeouts in 37 2/3 innings over 35 appearances (one start). Neither Lambert nor Barlow are worthy of fantasy consideration.

Joe Barlow Has Surgery On His Wrist

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Joe Barlow (wrist) had surgery on Friday to separate a pair of fused tendons in his right wrist that were believed to have contributed to a blister issue. Barlow should be ready for spring training next year. The 27-year-old right-hander served as the team's closer in the first half of the season and finished his second big-league season with a 3.86 ERA (4.83 FIP), a 1.14 WHIP, 13 saves and 28 strikeouts in 35 innings pitched over 35 relief appearances. He was eventually demoted from the ninth-inning role and landed on the injured list in July. Barlow should remain at least a setup man in the Rangers bullpen in 2023.

Joe Barlow Has Positive Rehab Outing

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Joe Barlow (finger) struck out the first two batters he faced and retired the side in order on 14 pitches in one inning in a minor league rehab outing for Triple-A Round Rock on Sept. 17. Barlow is expected to make another rehab appearance for Round Rock on Tuesday or Wednesday this week. The 26-year-old right-hander has been on the injured list since Aug. 17, but barring any setbacks on his rehab assignment, he could be back in Texas' bullpen by this weekend or early next week. Before his injury, Barlow had 13 saves, a 3.16 ERA (4.38 FIP), a 1.05 WHIP and 24 strikeouts in 31 1/3 frames. Jose Leclerc has been operating as the Rangers' closer with Barlow on the shelf.

Joe Barlow Headed Back To Injured List With Blister Issue

Texas Rangers right-handed pitcher Joe Barlow (finger) is headed back to the injured list. Barlow is once again dealing with a blister issue on his right index finger, and it is bad enough that he is making a second trip to the injured list because of it. Barlow has pitched well this season with a 3.16 ERA, 1.05 WHIP and 24 strikeouts over 31 1/3 innings to go along with 13 saves in 17 attempts. At one point, Barlow was the clear-cut closer for the Rangers, but with his injuries and the emergence of Jonathan Hernandez, it appears that he has lost his job and could be hard-pressed to get it back when he returns. Fantasy managers who were hoping Barlow would return to the closer role should check to see if Hernandez is still available and pick him up immediately if he is.

Joe Barlow Activated On Wednesday

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Joe Barlow (finger) has been activated from the 10-day injured list on Wednesday. The 26-year-old has been sidelined since mid-July due to a blister on his finger. He returns to an impressive 3.26 ERA, 1.02 WHIP and 23/8 K/BB ratio over 30 1/3 innings. The expectation is that he'll resume his role as the primary closer in Texas. He should be ready to come out of the bullpen for Wednesday's contest. Fantasy managers should make sure he's back on their active team for Wednesday.

Joe Barlow Could Rejoin Rangers Tuesday

Texas Rangers relief pitcher Joe Barlow (finger) tossed 1 2/3 innings of relief during a minor league rehab outing for Double-A Frisco on Saturday. Manager Chris Woodward said that the right-hander, who was placed on the injured list with a right index finger blister on July 13, could be activated on Tuesday for the series opener against the Houston Astros. The 26-year-old right-hander has gone 1 2/3 frames in two of his three rehab outings, which could be a sign of things to come when he returns to the major league roster. Barlow was Texas' closer for most of the year, but he was removed from the role in early July, and Jonathan Hernandez has been the team's ninth-inning man of late. It looks like Barlow could return to a multi-inning relief role when he's activated this week.

Joe Barlow, Brad Miller Starting Rehab Assignments

Texas Rangers reliever Joe Barlow (finger) and infielder Brad Miller (neck) will both go on a minor league rehab assignment this weekend, according to manager Chris Woodward. Barlow was removed from his role as closer in early July and was then placed on the injured list shortly after when a blister popped up on his right index finger. Miller landed on the IL on July 18 with neck stiffness after he hit .207 with seven long balls through 65 games in his first year with Texas. Both players could return to the active roster in early August, but they aren't worth stashing until they prove themselves on the major league field.

Joe Barlow Placed On The 15-Day Injured List

The Texas Rangers placed pitcher Joe Barlow (finger) on the 15-day injured list Wednesday due to a right index finger blister. He was recently removed from the closer's role as the team uses a committee to approach save situations. The 26-year-old owned a 3.26 ERA, 1.02 WHIP, and a 23:8 K: BB across 30 1/3 innings before landing on the injured list. Barlow will be eligible to return towards the end of July. Brett Martin has recently received the bulk of the team's save chances, converting three saves over his last four appearances. Fantasy managers searching for saves should add Martin in all league formats.

Joe Barlow Removed From Closing Duties

Texas Rangers right-handed pitcher Joe Barlow has been removed from the closer's role, according to manager Chris Woodward. Barlow was terrific early in the season but has fallen off lately, posting a 5.73 ERA and four blown saves since the beginning of June. It seems to be a bit of a short leash given to Barlow, but that was to be expected with his lack of closing experience and Woodward openly wanting someone to step up and take his job during spring training. Expect the Rangers to go by committee until someone steps up, with Dennis Santana potentially being the favored option.

Joe Barlow Secures 13th Save On Wednesday

Texas Rangers pitcher Joe Barlow threw a scoreless inning to earn the save in Wednesday's 4-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies. He entered the ninth in Wednesday's game to protect a two-run lead. The 26-year-old tossed a clean inning to earn his 13th save of the year. He had struggled in June recently, allowing three runs in his last four appearances. Despite his recent struggles, the right-hander is the Rangers' primary closer and has converted 13-of-15 save chances in 2022. Overall, Barlow owns a 2.91 ERA, 0.99 WHIP, and 20 strikeouts over 24 1/3 innings.
