Luke Jackson pitched a perfect sixth inning in relief during the Rangers’ win over the A’s.

Fantasy Impact: Jackson continues to deliver in middle relief, now holding a 3.00 ERA with a 1.00 WHIP across nine innings. He’s a holds candidate in deeper leagues and could emerge in higher-leverage spots if the trend continues.

Patrick Corbin allowed two earned runs on seven hits and two walks while striking out four over five innings in Tuesday’s 8-5 win over Oakland.

Fantasy Impact: Corbin improved to 2-0 on the season and lowered his ERA to 3.77 across 14.1 innings. He’s been serviceable as a backend fantasy starter in deeper leagues and could hold some streaming value depending on matchups.

Fantasy Impact: Langford raised his average to .292 with 14 hits, seven RBI, five home runs, and four stolen bases through 48 at-bats. He’s delivering across all categories and is quickly becoming a five-tool threat. He should be active in all formats without hesitation.
