Player Outlook
The Rangers haven't pulled the plug on Emiliano Teodo starting just yet, but he arguably has a higher realistic ceiling in roto leagues as an elite reliever than as an inefficient starter. Blessed with special arm speed that generates easy triple-digit fastball velocity, Teodo also has a plus slider and a plus changeup. However, the Dominican righty has below-average command and control and walked 14 percent of batters at Double-A in 2024. He was placed on the development list late in the year after walking eight batters in seven innings over a pair of starts, but he returned to log two relief appearances for Frisco in mid-September. If Teodo's command were to improve in 2025, he could make his big-league debut as a starter, but it's probably more likely that he'll get his feet wet in the big-league bullpen this summer after being added to the 40-man roster in the offseason.

  • Rangers' Emiliano Teodo: Optioned to minors camp

    The Rangers optioned Teodo to minor-league camp Wednesday, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports. Teodo was impressive this spring, tossing 4.1 scoreless innings with a 6:1 K:BB. For now, the Rangers appear set on continuing to develop the hard-throwing right-hander as a starting pitcher. However, a move to the bullpen could come at some point, and if it does, Teodo has the potential to eventually be a closer option.

  • Rangers' Emiliano Teodo: Not expected to make MLB roster

    Rangers manager Bruce Bochy said Thursday that Teodo is a long shot to make the team's Opening Day roster, Jeff Wilson of AllDLLS.com reports. Teodo has turned heads this spring with his big stuff and his results, as he's fanned five batters over 3.1 scoreless frames. However, Bochy noted that the Rangers want Teodo to continue to develop as a starting pitcher, and there's currently not room for him in the big-league rotation. Teodo is already on the 40-man roster and could make his major-league debut at some point in 2025 if he pitches well at Triple-A Round Rock.

  • Rangers' Emiliano Teodo: Back to throwing

    Teodo (thumb) threw a bullpen session Sunday with no apparent issues, Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News reports. The right-hander was pulled from his bullpen session Saturday due to thumb soreness, but the fact he returned to throwing a day later indicates it wasn't a serious concern. Teodo is one of the organization's top prospects and posted a 1.98 ERA, 1.20 WHIP and 110:50 K:BB across 86.1 innings at the Double-A level last year.

  • Rangers' Emiliano Teodo: Managing sore thumb

    Teodo was pulled from his bullpen session Saturday due to right thumb soreness, Kennedi Landry of MLB.com reports. The Rangers have marked Teodo as day-to-day, so the injury doesn't seem to be anything worthy of major concern. The 24-year-old righty earned a spot on Texas' 40-man roster this winter after turning in a 1.98 ERA and 1.20 WHIP over 86.1 innings at Double-A Frisco. He'll likely be bumped up to Triple-A Round Rock for the start of the 2025 campaign, and his MLB debut may not be far away if he continues to dominate in the minors.

  • Rangers' Emiliano Teodo: Nets 40-man roster spot

    The Rangers selected Teodo's contract from Double-A Frisco on Tuesday, Ari Alexander of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Teodo, 23, collected a 1.98 ERA and 110:50 K:BB over 86.1 innings this season with Frisco. The right-hander has a career 13.1 percent walk rate in the minors, but he also boasts a 32.2 percent strikeout rate and has electric stuff. Teodo needs more seasoning but has the upside of a front-line starter if he can throw enough strikes.

  • Rangers' Emiliano Teodo: Returns to action for Frisco

    Teodo was reinstated from Double-A Frisco's developmental list Saturday. He turned in a scoreless appearance against Amarillo, striking out two and issuing one walk over one inning. After being held out of action for three months while he was on the development list, Teodo returned for one final appearance before Frisco's season ended. The 23-year-old righty made 20 appearances (19 starts) for the Double-A club in 2024, logging a 1.98 ERA and 110:50 K:BB across 86.1 innings.

  • Rangers' Emiliano Teodo: To development list

    Double-A Frisco transferred Teodo to the development list Wednesday. Teodo walked eight batters in seven innings over his last two starts, so perhaps the team saw something mechanical they wanted to address with the hard-throwing right hander. Given how late it is in the season, it's possible we won't see him again until next year. Teodo has some of the best pure stuff in the minors, and he logged multiple starts this year with double-digit strikeouts. Walks remain an issue, however, as he had a 13.8 percent walk rate while holding opposing batters to a .178 average against.

  • Rangers' Emiliano Teodo: Pitching again at High-A

    Teodo (forearm) has allowed two earned runs on six hits and three walks while striking out four in 5.1 innings across two starts since being activated from High-A Hickory's 7-day injured list May 24. Teodo hasn't started either contest, as he's instead been deployed as a bulk reliever in tandem outings with Dane Acker, who was reinstated from the IL that same day after being sidelined for the first seven weeks of the season with an unspecified injury. Until both young hurlers are fully stretched out, Teodo and Acker may continue to work in a tandem.
