Taylor Hearn News
The Atlanta Braves acquired left-hander Taylor Hearn from the Texas Rangers on Monday. It's unclear what the Rangers will receive in return. The Braves also acquired veteran reliever Pierce Johnson from the Colorado Rockies on Monday, and both Hearn and Johnson have minor-league options remaining. Atlanta has been limited by the lack of optionable relievers in their bullpen this year. Hearn will not be fantasy relevant and allowed eight earned runs on nine hits while walking four and striking out seven in seven relief innings for Texas in 2023. The 28-year-old southpaw will most likely report to Triple-A Gwinnett after the trade. He had a 3.66 ERA, 1.50 WHIP, 24 walks and 54 strikeouts in 39 1/3 innings over 24 outings (two starts) at Triple-A Round Rock.
Texas Rangers relief pitcher Taylor Hearn is expected to make the team's Opening Day roster out of the bullpen after the Rangers sent John King to Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday. The projected bullpen to enter the year consists of Jonathan Hernandez, closer Jose Leclerc, Will Smith, Brock Burke, Cole Ragans, Dane Dunning, Ian Kennedy and Hearn. The 28-year-old left-hander struggled this spring and had a 5.13 ERA (3.98 FIP), 1.50 WHIP, one save and a career-high 97 strikeouts in 100 innings pitched over 31 appearances (13 starts) for Texas in his fourth year in the big leagues in 2022. Hearn is expected to be a middle reliever for the Rangers this year, and he won't have much fantasy appeal whatsoever.
The Texas Rangers optioned second baseman Ezequiel Duran and pitcher Taylor Hearn to Triple-A Round Rock on Saturday. Duran was in a platoon role following his call-up on June 4. He struggled recently, hitting .067 (1-for-15) over his last four games. Duran couldn't find any playing time in a loaded Rangers infield that included Corey Seager and Marcus Semien and was sent back down to pick up everyday at-bats. Hearn struggled after posting a 6.25 ERA and 1.75 WHIP with 54 punchouts over 59 innings. The 27-year-old was recently demoted to the bullpen over the weekend after starting the season in the rotation. Hearn will head to Triple-A Round Rock and could be a top candidate to get recalled later in the season. The Rangers will make corresponding moves on Sunday.
