Six scoreless in no-decision
Rocker did not factor into the decision Sunday against the Blue Jays, allowing four hits and a walk across six scoreless innings. He struck out five.
Analisi
Rocker was excellent against Toronto, recording his fourth quality start of the year and just his second in his last seven outings. Rocker, who pitched as a traditional starter Sunday after working behind an opener in his last appearances against the Twins, now sports a 3.83 ERA with a 1.34 WHIP and 70:31 K:BB across 80 innings this season. He's tentatively lined up for a home matchup with the Tigers his next time out.

Working as traditional starter Sunday
Rocker will start Sunday's game against Toronto rather than follow an opener, Shawn McFarland of The Dallas Morning News reports.
Analisi
Rocker worked behind an opener in his most recent appearance and pitched well, allowing two runs over five innings while striking out nine. Despite that success, the Rangers will go back to deploying Rocker as a traditional starter Sunday. Over 13 starts this season, Rocker has posted a 4.70 ERA, 1.48 WHIP and 49:27 K:BB across 61.1 frames.

Thrives in bulk relief
Rocker took a no-decision Monday against the Marlins, allowing two runs on five hits and no walks in five innings of relief. He struck out nine.
Analisi
The Rangers have now deployed Rocker behind an opener twice this season, and the results so far have been promising to say the least. The 26-year-old right-hander twirled 7.2 shutout innings the last time he worked as a reliever during his May 19 outing, and he fanned a season-high nine Monday. It would make sense for Texas to use Rocker in long relief out of the bullpen once again this weekend in Toronto, where he'll try to further improve on a 4.14 ERA, 1.38 WHIP and 65:30 K:BB across 74 innings.
