Pitcher Playing Time Changes: March 19, 2025

Below are the latest playing time changes for pitchers since Monday, with the Patrick Corbin signing further reshuffling projected starts for the Rangers.
SP Projected GS Changes, 3/17 to 3/19
Player | Team | Old GS | New GS | GS Change | Reason |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Patrick Corbin | TEX | FA | 16 | 3 | Will help cover starts, especially in the first half |
Stephen Kolek | SDP | 8 | 11 | 3 | Darvish injury opens up more starts |
Adrian Houser | TEX | 5 | 2 | -3 | Corbin signings eats into PT |
Yu Darvish | SDP | 29 | 26 | -3 | Elbow inflammation, hard to see him ready for Opening Day |
Jack Leiter | TEX | 23 | 19 | -4 | Corbin signings eats into PT; maybe some RP innings later on? |
Cody Bradford | TEX | 8 | 3 | -5 | Corbin signings eats into PT; could relieve when healthy |
RP Projected IP Changes, 3/17 to 3/19
Player | Team | Old IP | New IP | IP Change | Reason |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
Richard Lovelady | TOR | 26 | 55 | 29 | Contract selected; not guaranteed to make roster but he’s out of options os he’s got a good shot |
Anderson Pilar | ATL | 8 | 35 | 27 | Perdomo trade, Farmer reassignment makes bullpen spot more plausible for the R5 pick |
Luis Garcia | LAD | 16 | 33 | 17 | Contract selected for Tokyo Series, would be odd to DFA him before Opening Day |
Nick Hernandez | HOU | 44 | 28 | -16 | Optioned to minors after bad Spring Training |
Blake Walston | ARI | 32 | 0 | -32 | Tommy John surgery |
