Tepesch (knee) will return to the Rangers' rotation to start Wednesday's game against the White Sox, MLB.com's T.R. Sullivan reports. His last start was skipped because of soreness in his left knee, but after throwing two bullpen sessions over the past week, he says he is close to 100 percent healthy. In 12 starts this season, Tepesch has a 4.73 ERA, and is not a great option in most formats. He also has just 37 strikeouts in 67 innings, so there's very little upside here.

Nick Tepesch has been pushed back in the rotation. Meaning he won't make his scheduled start in the Rangers' three-game series against the Indians. Tepesch left his outing Saturday against the A's with soreness in his left knee. It's not a major concern.

Nick Tepesch left his start Saturday against the Athletics with left knee soreness. Tepesch pitched six innings before exiting, allowing three earned runs on four hits while striking out two. It's not clear whether the right-hander will be able to make his next scheduled start, and the Rangers probably won't know for sure until early next week.

Nick Tepesch was smacked around for five runs on nine hits and two walks over just 4 1/3 innings in Sunday's loss to the Blue Jays. He also hit a batter, gave up a home run and didn't record a strikeout. Magically, Tepesch escaped with a no-decision in what turned out to be a 9-6 loss for the Rangers. The right-hander has now yielded 14 runs across his last three starts to push his ERA from 3.65 to 4.75. He'll try to bounce back next weekend against the A's, which seems like an unlikely proposition.

Nick Tepesch yielded three runs over six-plus innings in a loss to the Angels on Friday. Tepesch allowed just a solo home run to Mike Trout over his first six innings of work, but he was pulled after he gave up three straight singles to begin the seventh inning. The final run scored after he was replaced by Neftali Feliz. It was a pretty good outing for the most part, as Tepesch allowed no walks while striking out a pair, but the Rangers just couldn't get anything going against Garrett Richards and the Angels' bullpen. He'll finish off the first half with a 4.31 ERA over 10 starts.

Nick Tepesch will make his next start Friday against the Mets. Tepesch was previously scheduled to pitch Wednesday against the Orioles, but he'll be moved back two days now that Miles Mikolas has been recalled from Triple-A Round Rock to start Wednesday. Yu Darvish remains on track to start Thursday.

Nick Tepesch blanked the Twins on three hits over seven and a third innings in Friday's 5-4 win. Tepesch struck out five and only walked two in securing his third win of the season. He evened his record at 3-3 and lowered his ERA to 3.65. This marks the second time in his last three starts that he hasn't allowed a run. He'll look to hold the Orioles down next time out.

Nick Tepesch shut out the Mariners for 6 1/3 innings Friday in the Rangers' 1-0 victory. Tepesch didn't get the win for his effort; it went to Steve Tolleson after the Ranger scored their lone run on a groundout in the top of the ninth. Still, it was Tepesch's best effort of the season to date, and he ensured that he'll remain in the rotation for a while longer. He does get the A's next, so AL-only leaguers will probably want him benched.

Nick Tepesch gave up four runs in 5 1/3 innings Saturday in a loss to the Indians. Lefties had feasted on Tepesch this season, and he had to face eight of them (including two switch-hitters) against the Indians today. So, of course, it was the lone righty that did him in, with Yan Gomes hitting a three-run homer in the sixth. Tepesch is now 2-2 with a 4.91 ERA since his callup. If he stays in the rotation, he'll get another lefty heavy lineup next time out when he faces Seattle.

Nick Tepesch was pulled for a pinch-hitter after giving up five runs -- four earned -- in two innings versus the Nationals on Saturday. This is the kind of day Tepesch can have when he misses his spots. He retired just five batters (one of whom was the pitcher), and he got one more out on a pickoff of Denard Span at first. It was his first bad outing and his first loss in four starts since being called up earlier this month, so he's going to stay in the rotation. He remains worth playing in AL-only leagues, but mixed leaguers should be able to do better.
