  • Padres' Glenn Otto: Lands on injured list

    The Padres placed Otto on the 15-day injured list Tuesday with a right teres major strain.

    Otto didn't pitch at all in the Cactus League after experiencing problems in his shoulder toward the beginning of camp. He has yet to resume throwing since getting injured, making it likely he spends more than the minimum 15 days on the IL.

  • Padres' Glenn Otto: Likely to open season on IL

    Otto (shoulder) had a setback early in spring camp and is expected to open the regular season on the injured list, per MLB.com.

    Otto dealt with a shoulder injury last season but was expected to be among the competitors for a rotation spot for San Diego this spring. However, the right-hander suffered a setback early in camp and didn't pitch at all in Cactus League play. Manager Mike Shildt indicated March 9 that Otto is getting closer to playing catch and resuming baseball activity, but even if that happens soon, the hurler won't be ready for game action by the opening of the campaign.

  • Padres' Glenn Otto: Claimed by Friars

    The Padres claimed Otto off waivers from the Rangers on Thursday.

    Otto was DFA'd by Texas on Tuesday after accumulating a 10.13 ERA and 1.88 WHIP through 10.2 innings in the majors. However, he's been solid in Triple-A with a 3.38 ERA and 1.07 WHIP through 29.1 frames, so the Padres will take a flier on him as a bullpen depth piece. Ben Gamel was designated for assignment in a corresponding move.

  • Rangers' Glenn Otto: DFA'd by Texas

    The Rangers designated Otto for assignment on Tuesday.

    The 27-year-old posted a 10.13 ERA in 10.2 frames for Texas this season and has now lost his spot on the 26-man and 40-man rosters. Otto made 27 starts for the Rangers last season and had a 4.64 ERA, but he's been working out of the bullpen for the big club in 2023.

  • Rangers' Glenn Otto: Summoned from Triple-A

    Otto was recalled from Triple-A Round Rock on Monday.

    Otto, 27, has been blasted for 10 runs over 8.1 relief innings during his brief time in the majors this season. He and the Rangers will be hoping for better results this time around, and he will give them an arm capable of going multiple frames.

  • Rangers' Glenn Otto: Heads to Triple-A

    The Rangers optioned Otto to Triple-A Round Rock on Sunday.

    Otto will cede his spot on the 26-man active roster and in the bullpen to right-hander Owen White, who was called up from Triple-A in a corresponding move. After being activated from the 60-day injured list June 30, Otto made four relief appearances and gave up 10 earned runs on 10 hits and five walks over 8.1 innings.

  • Rangers' Glenn Otto: Activated from injured list

    The Rangers activated Otto (lat) from the 60-day injured list Friday.

    Otto has been on the shelf all season with a right lat strain and will now rejoin the Rangers' pitching staff. He looked good during his rehab assignment, surrendering three runs on six hits while striking out 14 batters and walking only one across 10 Triple-A innings. Given the strength of Texas' rotation, it's likely he'll be relegated to the bullpen -- even if the team chooses to run with a six-man rotation, he'd have to compete with Cody Bradford for the final spot.

  • Rangers' Glenn Otto: Excels in latest rehab outing

    Otto (lat) struck out three over three scoreless innings in his second rehab start Sunday with Triple-A Round Rock. He allowed one hit and no walks in the 44-pitch outing.

    The 27-year-old has been on the shelf since late in spring training due to the right lat strain, but he's looked strong in both of his first two rehab outings with Round Rock. He's covered three innings in both appearances, striking out seven batters in total while having yet to issue a walk. The Rangers don't have a spot available for Otto in the big-league rotation at the moment, so once his 30-day rehab window elapses, the right-hander could get optioned to Round Rock upon being activated from the 60-day injured list.

  • Rangers' Glenn Otto: Starts rehab assignment

    Otto (lat) allowed two runs on two hits while striking out four over three innings in a rehab outing for Triple-A Round Rock on Tuesday.

    Otto began his rehab assignment Tuesday, and the right-hander threw 36 pitches (25 strikes). The Rangers will build up his strength, and Otto could eventually rejoin the team's starting rotation. With Jacob deGrom (elbow) headed for Tommy John surgery, there's room. Dane Dunning has been filling in, but his last three starts (5.74 ERA, eight walks) were rocky.

  • Rangers' Glenn Otto: Beginning rehab assignment

    Otto (lat) is set to begin a minor-league rehab assignment Tuesday with Triple-A Round Rock.

    It could be a lengthy rehab stint for Otto, who has been out all season after injuring his right lat toward the end of spring training. The 27-year-old posted a 4.64 ERA, 1.33 WHIP and 107:62 K:BB over 135.2 innings (27 starts) for the Rangers in 2022.

  • Rangers' Glenn Otto: Goes on 60-day IL

    The Rangers placed Otto (lat) on the 60-day injured list Wednesday, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Otto injured his right lat toward the end of spring camp and is now going to miss at least the first two months of the 2023 season. The Rangers haven't provided an official timeline for Otto's return, though the right-hander is expected to avoid surgery.

  • Rangers' Glenn Otto: Could hit 60-day injured list

    Otto (lat) has been shut down for three weeks and may wind up on the 60-day injured list, Jeff Wilson of RangersToday.com reports.

    Otto went down with what was originally referred to as lat tightness in mid-March. His injury is evidently much more serious than that, as it's unlikely he's ready for game action until late May.

  • Rangers' Glenn Otto: Undergoing MRI on lat muscle

    Otto will undergo an MRI on his right lat muscle, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports.

    Otto told reporters Sunday morning that the muscle was still sore, and the Rangers won't take any risks. The 26-year-old right-hander was scratched from Saturday's start because of tightness in his lat. There should be an update on Otto's status after the results of the imaging are announced.

  • Rangers' Glenn Otto: Scratched with right lat tightness

    Otto was scratched from Saturday's scheduled start in the Cactus League with right lat tightness, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports.

    With Otto out, the Rangers will have Chase Lee start in the right-hander's place. Otto will likely need to undergo testing to make sure there's no structural damage. There should be an update on his status in the coming days.

  • Rangers' Glenn Otto: Gives up first-inning runs

    Otto allowed two runs on one hit and one walk while striking out five over two innings in Friday's spring game against Kansas City.

    Otto opened the game with a four-pitch walk to Bobby Witt, who later came around on Vinnie Pasquantino's home run three batters later. "It starts with throwing strikes," manager Bruce Bochy told Kennedi Landry of MLB.com. "That's the obvious. He's got great stuff. But he's got to pound the strike zone and throw quality strikes." The right-hander started 27 games for the Rangers in 2022, but he's not expected to return to the rotation after Texas added three veteran starters during the offseason. Otto could be a candidate for the bullpen, but a roster spot is not guaranteed.

  • Rangers' Glenn Otto: Quality start in finale

    Otto (7-10) got the win after he pitched six innings, giving up two runs on four hits and two walks while striking out five in Wednesday's season finale versus the Yankees.

    Otto kept the Yankees in check Wednesday, limiting them to six total baserunners while notching his second straight quality start. He gave up one run in the second inning before Jose Trevino launched a solo homer in the fourth frame, accounting for the final run on his line. Otto will finish the campaign with a 4.64 ERA and 1.33 WHIP while striking out 107 batters over 135.2 innings in 27 starts with the Rangers.

  • Rangers' Glenn Otto: Takes loss in quality start

    Otto (6-10) gave up three earned runs on eight hits and one walk while striking out seven over six innings to take the loss in a 4-1 defeat against the Angels on Friday.

    Otto racked up seven or more strikeouts for the fourth time this season but gave up a couple of home runs that ultimately led to him being saddled with his 10th loss of the year. The strikeout-heavy performance is an encouraging sign from Otto, who has a poor K/BB of 1.7 in 26 starts this season. The 26-year-old right-hander is tentatively expected to make his next start in the final game of the season against the Yankees.

  • Rangers' Glenn Otto: Solid in no-decision

    Otto did not factor into the decision Saturday, allowing one run on three hits with one walk over 5.2 innings against the Guardians. He struck out three.

    After walking Steven Kwan on four straight pitches to start the game, Otto went on to retire the next 12 batters he faced. His only major mistake on the night came in the fifth when he left a slider over the plate and served up a solo homer to Oscar Gonzalez to lead off the inning. The right-hander has earned a win in just two of his 12 starts since the All-Star break. He's projected to take the mound again next week against the Angels.
