Rest-of-Season Projections
Assigned to Triple-A
The Rangers assigned Barlow to Triple-A Round Rock on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Barlow signed a minor-league contract with the Rangers in February, but he wasn't able to crack the Opening Day roster after finishing spring training by allowing two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out five across 5.2 innings. He last saw major-league action in 2023 with the Rangers, and he could be called up by Texas should there be a need for right-handed depth out of the bullpen.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
After recording 11 saves during his rookie season, Barlow once again took over closing duties for the Rangers last May. He tallied 13 saves over a three month stretch for Texas before he was removed from the closer role in early July due to a string of poor performances. Barlow only made seven more appearances over the rest of the season due to persistent blister issues that required two separate trips to the IL. Since he also missed time in 2021 due to a blister, the 27-year-old had a procedure done this offseason to separate a pair of fused tendons in his wrist, which is believed to have contributed to the issues. Barlow should be ready for spring, but Texas has several other relievers who have better skills suited for their closer role.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Closer role unlikely
Levi Weaver of The Athletic intimated Barlow, who underwent wrist surgery in November, isn't likely to be a preferred option to close for the Rangers in 2023.
ANALYSIS
Barlow recorded 13 saves with a 3.86 ERA, 1.14 WHIP and 28:13 K:BB across 35 innings last season, but he was unable to retain his job as closer before he missed most of the final six weeks with a finger injury. Weaver noted the right-hander can still be "a valuable back-end reliever" but doesn't consider Barlow among Texas' stronger options for the ninth inning, which is notable given the current frontrunner to close, Jose Leclerc, doesn't offer much stability.
