MIKE FOLTYNEWICZ NEWS

Next start on short rest Foltynewicz is the expected starter for Thursday's game at Detroit, Joseph Hoyt of the Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Foltynewicz, who was shelled in his previous start Sunday, will be working on short rest. Texas manager Chris Woodward considered a bullpen day but eventually landed on Foltynewicz as the starter for the series finale against the Tigers. Woodward said the starter will be on a limited pitch count due to the abbreviated rest schedule; Foltynewicz threw 42 pitches Sunday and was removed after 1.2 innings. This could be an important start for the right-hander. Woodward, whose team was shut out in three straight contests before scoring a run Tuesday night, has been vocal about his team's recent performance and for players to show more fight, per Jordan Horrobin of MLB.com.

Shelled in loss Foltynewicz (2-9) lost Sunday's 10-0 match with Toronto in the second game of a doubleheader, allowing 10 runs on eight hits and two walks in 1.2 innings.

Impact Foltynewicz endured his worst start all year, surrendering nearly as many home runs (4) as outs (5), and couldn't make it out of the second inning for the first time. Prior to Sunday's outing, he had allowed four runs or less in five straight starts and lowered his ERA to a still high 5.11, but it jumped back up 0.8 runs to 5.91 following the disaster appearance.

He'll go into the all-star break with a 2-8 record, a 5.11 ERA and a 1.27 WHIP.

Allows four runs in loss Foltynewicz (2-8) allowed four earned runs on four hits and one walk while striking out five across seven innings, taking the loss to the Mariners on Sunday.

Impact Although Foltynewicz outlasted opposing pitcher Chris Flexen, he allowed three more runs than him to take the loss. All four runs came on a pair of home runs in the third and fourth innings. The 29-year-old has struggled this season and has not received much run support from a bad offense. He carries a 5.17 ERA and a 1.30 WHIP, leading the Rangers in losses (8).

Earns first win since April Foltynewicz (2-7) allowed two runs on four hits and one walk while striking out six over seven innings to pick up the win over Oakland on Tuesday.

Impact Foltynewicz allowed a first-inning home run, but he settled in to give Texas hitters a chance to erase the lead and win for the first time since April 27, a span of 11 starts. Homers have been his bane in 2021; he's given up 19, which ranks tied for second in MLB. The Rangers have considered removing him from the rotation due to the frequency of long balls, but their replacement options are thin at this time. He'll look to build off Tuesday's success in his next projected start Sunday at Seattle.
