Rocker (0-1) took the loss Saturday against the Reds, allowing two runs on six hits and one walk with three strikeouts across five innings.
Rocker won the fifth spot in the Rangers' rotation during the spring but had his first turn skipped due to Jacob deGrom being pushed back a day with a neck issue earlier this week, so Saturday was his 2026 season debut. Rocker surrendered three straight singles to Matt McLain, Elly De La Cruz and Sal Stewart in the top of the first inning, allowing both of his runs on the three hits. He eventually settled in and threw 80 pitches. Rocker's next start will likely come next weekend in Los Angeles against the Dodgers. He won't be a recommended fantasy streaming option for that one.
